nextNYers #110 - Karen Teng From AdaptiveBlue

This week on nextNYers, Meghan sits down with NY-based AdaptiveBlue's Director of Engineering Karen Teng. We've covered AdaptiveBlue several times over the past year.

They have continued to make their products (BlueOrganizer and SmartLinks) easier to understand for the common person (aka me) and Karen noted that they are looking to enter the social space this year so I expect to see the terminology continue to shift. While some geeks might care about "semantic web", most Internet users just want something that helps them without big words.

Karen also noted that they are seeking a series B round of funding and are currently in discussions with investors. Lastly, she noted that AdaptiveBlue is considering adding advertisements to their panels which would be highly contextual.

Don't forget to check out all of the previous nextNYers episodes along with our review of online video in NYC.
