Technology
SEATTLE, Aug. 28 /PRNewswire/ -- Pluggd ( http://www.pluggd.com ) today
announced that it will launch an innovative service at the prestigious
DEMOfall 2006 conference ( http://www.demo.com ), the premiere showcase for
the technologies of tomorrow. DEMOfall 2006 will take place September 25-27
in San Diego, California.
Throughout its 16-year history, DEMO has been a launching pad for many
of the world's most important new technologies, from the well known like
Java, TiVo, and the Palm Pilot, to the new generation of emerging Web 2.0
leaders, such as Six Apart and Riya. Thanks to its unrivaled reputation for
attracting technology's best and brightest, DEMO has become a top-priority
event for industry executives, media and investors, all of whom attend DEMO
looking for technology's household names of the future.
"For more than 16 years, DEMO has hosted over 1,500 companies as they
launched the technologies of the future -- products we wouldn't want to
live without today," said Chris Shipley, executive producer, DEMOfall 2006.
"Pluggd has been invited to join this elite group because the company has
developed a solution that helps people find and enjoy digital content. In a
crowded market, Pluggd's technology is not only unique and compelling, but
has the potential to change the way we interact with Web content."
"It's an honor to be participating at an event that has introduced so
many landmark innovations to the world," said Alex Castro, CEO of Pluggd.
"With the number of audio and video podcasts on the Web growing at an
explosive rate, existing search and discovery tools have to advance to keep
up with user's needs. Pluggd's technology helps address this pain and DEMO,
with its audience of industry experts and visionaries, is the perfect place
to introduce the world to our vision."
