The third annual Startup Riot will be held on February 17, 2010 at the Atlanta Fox Theatre! A number of things about this year’s competition have been upgraded including the venue, the demo pit, the after party and the cash prizes!

I’ve read a multitude of blogs out there in the last day about how people were incredibly disappointed in what was actually shown at the 2008 WWDC yesterday. Whereas I can understand the disappointment for things like dual cameras for conferencing on the phone, I also understand that most wireless networks do not yet have the infrastructure to handle this sort of bandwidth. Let’s say you start selling 5-10MM more iPhones around the world and these people start to take advantage of this feature on a daily basis, whereas in the US we might be able to ramp up the necessary bandwidth, I hardly believe Denmark, Malta, Peru or Madagascar could handle this out of the box. Out of the box, everything works is Apple’s bread and butter. They understand that people will suffer with a few less features for a user experience not plagued with slow of buggy features (the Windows Mobile Task Manager is a perfect example of the sort of hack Apple has a knack for avoiding).

If you’ve been following this blog for awhile, you’d probably remember my experience at the Atlanta Startup Weekend where a group of Atlanta entrepreneurs created Skribit in 54 hours. The experience was really rewarding and it opened up my personal network within the local community. Not only did I meet a number of like-minded individuals, I still keep in touch with a number of them today.

This past Monday I attended Startup Riot as an observer. We had originally signed up to pitch but I dropped out last minute due to us not really needing anything. We’re still refining our business to try and rise above the noise so whatever we had wanted to pitch weeks ago would have been outdated by the time the event started.

Startup Weekend is now taking votes on which cities they should help build entrepreneurial communities for in 2008. The reason I’m saying that is because they did one heck of a job for Atlanta.
