Ignite Boston

I attended the ignite Boston event at Tommy Doyles last night. Nice venue (a little noisy with people networking at the back) with enough beer for everyone. The presentations were a mixed bag. Scott Burkin did a pitch for his new book on how hard it is to innovate and the tendency of history to make it look easy. Rick Treitman's 5 minute demo of Buzzword was interesting - a Flash word processor. Probably something that someone should have done a while ago. With Silverlight now released I think that Microsoft will be going this way with Word in the not too distant future.

Ignite Boston is a great idea. It will be interesting to see how this
develops.
