Startups, Innovation, Entrepreneurship

Dominique Hazael-Massieux, lead of all things mobile at W3C, explains the work the organisation does with keeping most web technologies available to all under royalty free schemes. He talks about HTML5 and how the time for its standardization has finally come; the inevitable fragmentation periods; cross-platforms and more. Interviewed by George Voulgaris for Tech Talks Central.


TTC #32. A 20 year anniversary for the W3 Consortium

The Google I/O keynote was epic in at least one respect, length. For three hours Google laid out the near horizon for all things Google. This included the next version of Android; a new platform for connected watches; Google for your car; yet another Google TV; and a new health platform. Andreessen Horowitz’s Benedict Evans plowed through it all, including what was noticeably absent: Google+ and Google Glass. What the future looks like as the lines between mobile apps and web pages blur, and why Google is the new Microsoft -- in the best possible way.

a16z Podcast: Google I/O -- A Three-Hour Tour (in 30 minutes)

Around the firm we use “software eats the world” as a guide for how technology will impact every industry and every person – from education to healthcare and government. As a16z marks its five-year anniversary, we turned to the fellow who came up with the thesis, Marc Andreessen, to explain how it’s rippling around the globe. And to break down all the implications for building companies and managing people we tapped a16z's cofounder Ben Horowitz. With both “a” and “z” in the room, this segment takes stock of the technology industry and startup ecosystem – from entrepreneurs to investors, and where it’s all headed next.  Part one of two.

a16z Podcast: Ben and Marc Explain (Practically) Everything – Part 1

After, close to 2 years and 226 interviews with scientists, researchers and technologists, the time has come to turn the table on us. The TTC team sits behind the microphone and reviews latest experiences, trends and social economic issues that have affected us and the technology scene at large. We start with eHealth and how our interviewees responded to the question on whether we need medical software certification; we talk about the social economic impact of robotics co-existing with humans; Phil Zimmermann’s interview on data security issues and privacy and the first pan-European cyber-security law to be enacted. 
So, do bare with our shortcomings and let us know your opinion and what we can improve. We will be travelling to different events in the coming months, interviewing stakeholders and hopefully reporting back, via our own podcast, on behind the scenes.

TTCvoice #2 Getting the most out of MWC16

Our 3rd TTCvoice podcast was recorded and broadcast live from Mobile World Congress 2016, in Barcelona. The biggest mobile technology event along with an amazing city, became the suitable backdrop for us to meet the people behind Barcinno, the online collaborative platform that shares news, knowledge & events of Barcelona’s startup, tech and innovation communities. It will be an understatement to say we weren’t thrilled meeting them; these guys excited us with all their knowledge and inside information. Join us and listen to the Barcinno team, Scott Mackin, Hector Manzano Diaz, Lina Maria Ruiz and Sindre Hopland talk startups, local ecosystem and why Barcelona is the Mobile World Capital. Playing hosts for Tech Talks Central: Vicki Kolovou, Sakis Triantafyllakis and Yannis Rizopoulos.


TTCvoice #3 Discussing Barcelonian Startup Ecosystem with Barcinno

The team got together to discuss podcasting and its intricacies. Prior to sitting in front of our microphones, we interviewed Stathis Koutsogeorgos - founder at Radiojar - and included snippets of his interview in our podcast. We discussed live shows vs podcasts and what each one entails; why TTC chooses to do both depending on circumstances; the minimal equipment required to do a good-quality audio interview on the move, and what are the available podcast media hosts and distribution channels. We pondered on the optimal podcast duration, how to disseminate and finally what kind of innovation can we expect in podcasting for the future. 

Markos, our sound engineer was kind enough to prepare a post with a list on audio equipment, we at TTC, either use or suggest derived from our experience on doing interviews on the move and broadcasting live from events.  https://medium.com/tech-talks-central/podcasting-equipment-for-various-budgets-c9f0f2774010#.p85lv65tw
