Socialight / blog+news

What a happy surpise! If you head down to your local newsagents and pick out a copy of the Business 2.0, you will find Kamida (makers of Socialight and other fine socialware) and friends (including Semacode) featured in a lavishly illustrated article by Carlo Longino (of Mobhappy and The Feature [RIP] fame). We’re in the bit called Here You Are: Location-based services.

You may have noticed that the Socialight home page has a clean new look. We asked our friends over at Iridesco to come up with a new look for the page on a tight deadline and they produced a great clean look for us. Thanks guys!

We were in Las Vegas for CTIA Wireless 2006 during the week of April 5 (sorry for the delayed post!).

We’re proud to annouce that at the LBS Challenge award ceremony, Socialight took home a semifinalist trophy in the Social Networking category. Our friends at Skyhook Wireless took home a finalist award (and $10,000) for their Loki product. Congratulations, guys! See - we can be good sports…

Skyhook launched Loki at CTIA. If you haven’t checked it out yet, Loki’s an application and web browser plugin (Firefox and IE) that makes your web browsing relevant to where you are. It’s based on Skyhook’s own WiFi positioning system, which pinpoints your location based on the WiFi signals around you (US-only for now). Socialight is integrated into Loki; use the Socialight channel in its browser toolbar to view and create StickyShadows around you. If you try it out, let us know what you think.
