Web2Thing Weblog

At the end of 2005, while enjoying a beer and pizza at Little Creatures in Fremantle, Graeme and I were having one of our regular conversations that dug into everything tech . There’s always something wonderful about the atmosphere pre-summer, and the only real way to enjoy it is with a brew.

I can remember sitting at the table chatting about a particular problem that both of us had encountered on the Internet, and slowly a concept evolved. After a few weeks of banter we decided that the concept was compelling enough to bootstrap, and we’ve been working on it since.

I sure didn’t realize how hard, and long, the process of deciding on a name for an Internet business is: domain name availability, trademarks, clarity, and meaning, making for a tough exercise. So to facilitate opening the communication channel slightly, we’ve pre-named it Web2Thing, and launched this weblog.

This weekend Graeme is at @media Social and geek dinner, and next week I’m boarding a plane for Supernova and Gnomedex. We’re hoping to have a chat with a few people about Web2Thing, show them our alpha demo, and begin the hunt for an advisory board.

In the mean time we intend to discuss the process of launching Web2Thing–which eventually will have that meaningful name–on this weblog. So, please stay tuned by returning to the blog, or subscribe to our feed.
