I am very honored to be part of the speakers’ panel for Digital Media Festival 2008, the augural conference in Singapore for Web 2.0 and Social Media. I spoke on Building your Community 2.0, using Seesmic as one of its examples, as well as sites like GetSatisfaction, Twitter and ways to gather feedbacks from your Community.

At the backstage, I go around interviewing the great speakers. I managed to get Hugh Hancock, the man to coin the term “Machinima”, answering some questions the seesmic community posted, as well as Timo Vuorensola, director of Star Wreck, on community collaboration of videos

See the videos below and input your comments!

Interview with Timo Vourensola

The event boast a wide variety of booths and technology showcase. I managed to interview with a couple of companies like Paymo as well as Garena
 

Paymo is a mobile payment solution, similar to Paypal, but enables anyone who has a handphone to pay using SMS. Definitely a good micropayment solution that I can look into for future events or even donations!

Garena is a Community Portal for Gamers to find fellow gamers to join in games like DOTA, WoW, CS, etc. At the point of interview, over 100k of gamers are connected on the portal playing games, a very impressive numbers!

  

Stefano Virgilli on his talk and creative crew:
