Tagwhat delivers rich content about the places around you. Now it goes further, bringing you actionable messages from Facebook. See offers, etc, while you walk through the world. This could be very useful when we get Google Glass, those wearable computers that will show us stuff as we walk around. Learn more: http://www.tagwhat.com/

Managing contacts or customers is usually a real pain in the ass. Ecquire makes it easy. Here CEO Paul DeJoe shows off how it saves businesspeople time: http://www.ecquire.com/

http://www.objectrocket.com/ What does Object Rocket do? It makes a version of the MongoDB database that's very fast. It's a database-as-a-service (DBaaS). The only solution that is by default highly available, automatically sharded and unbelievably fast. Here I talk with founder, Kenny Gorman. Why is this important? Because as we move into a contextual age where we are going to join data from sensors, social networks, wearable computers, location checkins, and more, we'll need new hyper-fast databases and Object Rocket supplies.

If you have an iPad and you need a way to store, say, movies, you might find yourself running out of space. Particularly if you have kids who love watching tons of videos and movies. What's the way out of this instead of buying a very expensive iPad with more memory? Seagate's Wireless Plus with 1 terabyte of storage that you can get to wirelessly from a bunch of tablets or iPhones. Here I get a demo. http://www.seagate.com

http://www.swivl.com/ These new robots will follow you around while holding a DSLR, a tablet, or a smartphone. Why is that important? Because if you are a teacher you want your camera to follow you around. Cool new versions coming soon.

17 years ago Lynda Weinman and Bruce Heavin started Lynda.com, a training company, mostly aimed at creative people who were trying to learn things like Photoshop and Desktop Publishing. Today they just announced that they got $103 million in funding from a variety of venture capitalists. Hear who, and why, in my conversation with them.

You've heard that Facebook switched from HTML 5 to "native" apps on iOS and Android recently to "speed them up." That pissed off the developers from Sencha http://www.sencha.com/ So they built a Facebook app completely in HTML 5 that's even faster than the native Android and iOS apps that Facebook released last week. Sencha builds HTML 5 programming tools and here we discuss the market for app developers and the choices they have to make. Later today I'll be at Facebook and will ask them more about why they can't match the speed Sencha displays here.

Here we get a look at the new Basis wearable computer (looks like a watch) which has four major sensors inside of it. I did an audio interview with the CEO here: https://soundcloud.com/scobleizer/revolutionary-product-released which goes into depth about what it does but here I get a video look at the software side of things.
