On Monday, April 4th at 7:00PM, we’ll be giving the first public demo of the new version of Collectivus at the New Tech Meetup of Central PA. The meeting will be held at the Penn State York Campus.
While we’ve still got a lot of work to do, this alpha-release of Collectivus v2 will be open for people to test out and give feedback on. It will also be the first time the public will be able to see and interact with some of the roughly 40 new types of Thingies we’ll be introducing.
Other topics we’ll be covering include recapping the lessons learned from the first year of Collectivus and where we plan to take Thingies in year two. We’re hoping for some good conversation and questions.
If you’re in the Central PA area Monday, please come on out and say "Hi!"
It’s that time of year again. The annual pilgrimage to Austin, Texas for SXSW Interactive. Last year, we roamed the streets of Austin and handed out Rubber Duckie Thingies to help us test the first version of Collectivus. Many of those Thingies have gone on to have encounters all over the world.
Buttons and stickers and Thingies? Oh my!
If you’re heading to SXSW this year, keep an eye out for the guys in the Collectivus shirts. They’ll have buttons and stickers to give out and perhaps give you a sneak peak at the upcoming Collectivus 2.0.
We’ll even explain the story behind the new Duckie Thingie and show you some of the other Thingies we’ll be introducing. Basically, they’ll be happy to show you their Thingies.
Heading to the Live Music Capital of the World or not, follow Collectivus on Twitter for Collectivus updates from Austin.
Just a heads up that Collectivus may experience intermittent downtime over the next week or so. We’re making updates and upgrades as we prepare the new version of the web application.
