I think it’s about time that I add some flashy and beautiful content to this blog so I thought I’d share some photos and videos with you here.

So first of all a few photos from the Web 2.0 Expo where Profy was one of the sponsors and had a nice booth that attracted lots of people.

First here are the photos showing how we brought the booth to San Francisco: those two large suitcases actually contain the entire booth and actually they did not meet any airlines regulations. But somehow we managed to bring them to New York from Moscow and then on to San Francisco. I think it was worth it!

This is how we carried the suitecases with us

When finally delivered to San Francisco and installed, the booth itself looked like this – very bright and green:

And this photo was taken at the very end of the last conference day. (Left to right: Cyndy Aleo-Carreira, our editor, and me.) We are very exhausted here but equally happy!


The very last photo at the Web 2.0 Expo

After all the hassle with bringing the booth to San Francisco, we decided it would not be very reasonable to carry them back home so no photos of the return trip with the huge suitcases here.

If you want to see all the photos from the Web 2.0 Expo we made, here is the link to the entire set on Flickr.

I have also spent quite some time yesterday choosing the best video hosting service to upload Profy video demo. Of course, it is accessible at http://beta.profy.com/demo but I thought I’d need to have it on some video sharing sites as well so here is the link to Profy demo on Vimeo and on YouTube as well. I’d love it if you spent a moment of your time to choose this video as your favorite on one of the services and help me spread the word – after all, Profy will be more fun with more bloggers here.

And after working on this, I must say that Vimeo is definitely my favorite now, the quality is superb and they definitely do the job the way it should be done. You can see that it actually works great by viewing the embedded demo below:

And finally, yesterday I finally got to testing the new service called Docstoc that helps you share and embed documents. I like the service itself and I like how it does the job in allowing me to embed the Powerpoint presentation of the Profy platform to a blog post:

So that’s about it, I’ll try to share my further endeavors with videos and graphics on this blog in the future not to bore you with only plain text posts.
