globalcitizen here….

The last couple days were outstanding! I had the opportunity to spend some time with some of my favorite people talking about one of my favorite products! EMPRESSR!

The trip started at the office 2.0 conference at the St. Regis in San Francisco. Empressr was a sponsor of this event, and it was just amazing! Everything from the other companies, to the free-form unconference on Day 1, and topped with a cameo appearance from May’s little baby. What was most touching for me, was how interested Bryan was in the other companies that were there as well. Sliderocket, some might qualify it as Empressr’s competition, was only a few booths down. By the end of the 3-day conference, the co-founder of Sliderocket gave a demo to Bryan. There was an remarkable sense of unity and love that was definitely felt.

We spent some time with the people at mindtouch, and their impressive wiki product (that will soon support Empressr as a media type) hint hint — just joking. But in a nutshell, hung out with some really amazing folks who were genuinely interested in getting to know more about empressr and Bryan.

Why were they so excited to know about Empressr?? well, firstly because we are AWESOME! duh!.. but how about the SUPER FANTASTIC GLORIOUS (keep inserting adjectives until your brain explodes) version 4.0 that we just released! Sooo many features to list (plus it would make for a very boring post) - but I’ll tell you about my favorite one… TWITTER INTEGRATION! that’s right, your favorite social network is now a part of your favorite online presentation tool… you can create, share, and now HAVE A DIALOGUE ABOUT your presentation!…

Definitely check it out!..

Then we hung out over the weekend in San Francisco, did the tourist thing, check out Bryan’s empressr about our tour of the mission and the murals that can be found there. We met some interesting folks at Otis on Maiden Lane.They were nice enough to spend their Saturday afternoon with us, and show us around the Mission, complete with a coffee from Phil’z.

We were nice and rested for TechCrunch 50. AMAZING companies like IndieGoGo, Closet Couture, and my personal favorite CauseCast… were all there… and they were so nice! Real people behind some really cool ideas… and not to mention the awesome parties, thank you to myspace, norton, and seesmic who were really gracious to host the after-conference parties to help bring out the inner-geek in all of us.

Bryan and I met some really great people in the after-parties as well, including the infamous M.C. Hammer (and for those of you who are wondering, he is DEFINITELY too legit)

We are back in NYC, back at home base in lovely rainy NYC, resting, recouping, and rehashing all the feedback… working away on the next version, and getting ready to come out to Las Vegas! Empressr is going to be sponsoring the TechSet party at the Mirage… so, stop by, introduce yourself, or just give us the ol’ new york “how YOU doin’” …

Empressr is sponsoring this event and others this fall, I hope to see you there.

We have been invited to a lot of places this fall, so it’s going to be a busy season. We kick off with the Office 2.0 Conference by Ismael Ghalimi, the event is in San Francisco September 5-7th at the St. Regis Hotel hotel. Empressr will have a demonstration booth there, so it you are thinking about coming to the event, please stop by. I attended the Office 2.0 event last year and I found it to be a great intimate setting. I had the opportunity to meet a lot of great people, and learn about what’s developing in the business of Office 2.0. As a bonus you will receive a iPhone at no additional cost when you register… pretty cool.
