Well they transided =) - Anyway after being at the Tangible Interactions in Urban Spaces panel at SXSW, I ran all the way back to my hotel room to note this thing down.
So basically, Transitional web apps was the web applications that made web 2.0 reach out and still does. Web apps such as twitter, jaiku, peripheral devices such as nabaztags and photoframes, things that can run in their own environment (be it mobile or any other platform) but still connected to the web. So the web has turned from social computing and now it's all about social objects - objects that we are social around with other people.
After social objects the panel predicted that then we would get social environments, build out of architecture and open source online as well as offline. So this would mean that you could stylesheet buildings and spaces IRL! - nice. another pointer was that instead of user generated content, we would actually see user generated context, where, if we are lucky enough everything is designed to be participated in and hacked. So instead of social media we would have fluid media. I think that sound pretty funky - how about you ?

Yep people, I am going to Austin Texas!
If not to check out all the cool crafting and 10 gallon hats there must recide in Austin, Texas - then to be a part of SXSW'09.
And get this - Me and Molly, Laura and Francesca had a chat at reboot10, and we decided to make a panel for SXSW. About the web that could have been. Molly and I submitted it - and now it's up there on the SXSW panel picker titled as "this could have been your web".
First of all, I think the idea rocks - "this could have been your web" - is a panel that I would love to see myself, I like the idea of predicting the future from a 100 years back.
According to that, It will be such a thrill to me, to work with people on this subject including Molly.
So sharpen your pens and go to the SXSW panel picker and vote for us!

So in the process of relaunching the casa del Toothless Tiger on the web, I have written an manifesto that I believe I work and live by. Anyway before implementing it to the new webpage, I would like you guys to give me some input. (you can get a sneak preview of the new toothless tiger if you ask me nicely)
I really hope that you'll be able to recognize all of Toothless Tiger in the manifesto, and I hope you will give me feedback if there is something I'm missing.
so here goes :
Toothless Tiger: marketing school of Rock, web and communities
We are firm believers that the business of business is not business anymore.
Toothless Tiger work, live and die by the saying "the business of business is more than business"
We create presence marketing because we believe that marketing today and in the future consist of online/offline presence, and an ability to be where people are - mentally and physically
Our basis for our work is created on curiosity, compassion, questions, people, creativity, development and an ability to change and to spot tendencies faster than the market
Toothless Tiger is remarkably different that normal marketing because we dare to make “personal relations†the essence of our marketing.
We believe that the nature of the web is anarchistic, and the company needs to embrace this nature and live by the premises of the web. The web in essence is rebellic and a huge playground of undiscovered potential for businesses that dare to embrace it and enjoy the chaos.
what do you think ? - is it "Toothless"?
Huge thank to everyone ( especially
Mark Wubben) who has helped me come to this short manifesto...
