John Dowdell is keeping a list of links of people who say something interesting about the Adobe Engage event I’m at.

Good posts so far?

Tim O’Reilly on creating engaged users.
David Berlind of ZDNet on Microsoft vs. Adobe and Adobe’s timeline.
Jeff Barr (Web services evangelist at Amazon) has a mind-map of Kevin Lynch’s talk, among other notes.

Heheh, funny, I just saw a demo that looked just like this one on Mike Harsh’s blog (his is done in Microsoft’s WPF, the one I saw was done in Adobe Apollo). It shows, though, some of the new UI aesthetics that are coming your way from lots of application developers.

The Adobe Engage event is already proving interesting. Ryan Stewart wins the first report to come through Google Blog Search.

Takeaway? Adobe is indeed coming after developers. It’s interesting to hear their positioning vs. Microsoft. My post last week pretty much nailed it. Adobe’s Kevin Lynch says they try to extend the Web where Microsoft looks, he says, to extend Windows.

Adobe’s weaknesses? Corporate developers are safely in Microsoft’s camp because Adobe’s Apollo system (which lets developers build Windows, Mac, or Linux applications) can’t get to the Windows API (or the Mac API, or Linux’ API).

The other real loser here? Java. Apollo delivers real cross-platform apps that look a lot like what Microsoft always demonstrated with .NET 3.0 (great looking UIs and rich interaction).

But, clearly, Lynch wanted to position Apollo against Microsoft’s WPF/E, not Java.

Anyway, more later, we’re sitting through a ton of third-party demos now.

It’s not usual when I can get videos up of two companies breaking news (Ning and ClipMarks) all in the same night, but here’s the videos of ClipMarks: interview with Eric Goldstein, co-founder, and demo of ClipMarks by Eric.

I’m off to the Adobe Engage event, more later.

UPDATE: Rafe Needleman has more on ClipMarks here. TechMeme has more about ClipMarks 2.0 here.

INTERVIEW:

One of the cool things I’ve seen lately is ClipMarks. You know how Del.icio.us lets you bookmark a page? Or email it around?

Well, ClipMarks does something similar, but you can point to just a paragraph on my blog, or an entry, or a photo, or anything, really.

At 5 a.m. today I’ll have a video demo up on ScobleShow.com, but in the meantime, go and check it the just released ClipMarks 2.0.

Davis Janowski has the details.

I hope you don’t miss Marc Andreessen talking about his perspective of what he’s been seeing since he started Netscape back in 1994. The good part starts at about minute 16 of the interview I did with him and Gina of Ning.

One fun part was where Marc admitted he didn’t get how big a deal the Web would be when he first saw it either.
