We won’t be there but readers this might interest you – some details of an Orange Camp this weekend in the US (San Francisco).

What is Bubbletop?
Bubbletop allows end-users to create a personalised view of the Web and keep on top of what interests them. They can view content that they’re interested in by personalising it in their own specific way. End-users can design organise, access, slice, re-slice, re-discover the content they’re interested in so that they can keep up-to-date in a fast and easy fashion that suits them.

What is Pikeo?
Pikeo is a photo sharing website and an online community platform. Users can share their photos with either the entire community of users or their friends and family. A “who”, “what” and “where” tagging is available for users to better label their pictures. Visitors will discover photos using a search engine or a map of the world with geo-localized pictures, and by following a network of contacts, tags, and home pages. In addition to being a Web site for users to share personal photographs, the service can widely be used by bloggers as a photo repository. Visit www.pikeo.com
