Interaction Design made easy by DE MONSTERS: Paul Reijnierse @ AWS Amsterdam

Paul Reijnierse is a passionated interaction designer, together with two friends he set up the design studio De Monsters. Through their work they saw a problem for managing the workflows and decision making during the design process. As they could not find an appropriated tool fulfilling their needs, they decided to create it by themselves. The result is a workflow management tool in the language of designers providing a completely new approach to organizing the creative process. But best you check it out by yourself. And if the interview is not enough for you, there is a great video on vimeo to demonstrate how the air based software works.

High class corporate print-on-demand by MARVIA: Steven van Wel @ AWS Amsterdam

If you need new business cards, you normally have to talk to your designer, let him make a few layouts, then check his layouts and choose one or let him make some changes, and finally let it be printed. Same procedure if your address changes. That consumes already a lot of time and also money. Even more time and money it takes for other communication materials like flyers or presentations. But there is a new solution which will help you to get your print materials easier, faster and cheaper - that's MARVIA! It is co-founder Steven van Wel, who presents the business idea and who does want nothing less than conquering the world or at least an unbelievable huge amount of happy customers with his print-on-demand business. With www.getMARVIA.com you can create advertisements, business cards, product sheets, invites, folders and presentations - whatever you want or might need, without having to install expensive software and without caring about the storage of the layouts. You can create or upload design by yourself or you can buy templates for y cheap price. The interview was shot at AWS Start-Up Event in Amsterdam, there AWS Vice President Adam Selipsky and Amazon CTO Werner Vogels invited Start-Ups to learn from each other how to use the Amazon Web Services to accelerate their businesses by being part of the cloud.

“The Next Web” is only for tough guys: Patrick de Laive @ AWS Amsterdam

The Next Web is a great web conference based in Amsterdam and also a blog "that reports on everything that influences the future of the Web, in any way". So that can be a little tough sometimes, as you see in the video co-founder Patrick de Laive just got knocked out... But draw your own opinion by listening to what he has to say about the web business and the Dutch startup scene. One hint, the end might be a little special highlight....http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2130/2493748321_ce917eebce_s.jpg ;-) cause starting up... eeehmm getting up from the ground can sometimes be tough, that's maybe some sort of a forecast for the coming year? Let's hope that the startups will do better than Patrick does....

P.S. Special thanks to Patrick for that humorous approach...
