Soundscape of Ireland - Audioboo, a Social Media Tool

Posted Wed, 07/28/2010 - 17:25 by Bernard Goldbach

Audioboo is a web and mobile application that enables you to record and publish audio segments directly to the web and straight into other social media platforms such as Twitter or Facebook if you have enabled the connections.

In this debrief one our correspondents, Bernard Goldbach, shares his enthusiasm and his experiences with the application as an educational and Social Media tool.

You may want to listen to this compilation that he and Peter Donegan put together to get an idea of the breadth and depth of what is possible with the audiboo format. It is also a rather lovely soundscape of Ireland in 2010.

Chris Horn Talks About Innovation And Ireland: "How Can We Create A Desirable Environment For Entrepreneurs?"

Posted Tue, 02/23/2010 - 13:15 by John Breslin

Dr. Chris Horn, co-founder of Iona, president of Engineers Ireland, and member of the Irish Innovation Taskforce, gave a keynote at the Dublin Web Summit a few weeks ago.

He began by giving us some history. 30 years ago, he was a PhD student in TCD's computer science department. In 1981, he had his first visit to Silicon Valley because at that time TCD computer science had some links with Stanford computer science. When he went to the computer science department he met two young guys working on graphics hardware, Andy Bechtolsheim and Bill Joy, who later went on to co-found Sun Microsystems. Chris thought "we're as good as these guys, why can't we set up a company like this from Dublin, Ireland". He talked to other people at home doing interest things with software and hardware ("geeks like me") and they decided that they were going to start a company.
