Google I/O, Google's developer (cough, nerd) conference, comes to San Francisco next Tuesday for two days of peace, love, panels, and coding. Each year, the conference plays host to its so-called "Sandbox", in which developers and startups demo their apps, code, and technical delights. This year, thanks to ShortForm, a video curation community, those startup demos can all be found in one place -- on ShortForm's Google I/O channel.
The San Francisco-based startup has built a cool video curation platform that allows users to create personalized channels of web video content, easily pulling clips from YouTube and other video sites. And you can play videos back-to-back to create a stream of video, not unlike the TV viewing experience. That's right. I said it. Creating custom channels is simple, and ShortForm's design and UI is more user-friendly (or at least more attractive) than that of YouTube. IMHO, of course.
So, applying this formula to Google I/O: If you're unable to make the conference or, say, want to check back in on a favorite developer/app, you can kick back and get a full preview of all companies demoing at I/O in one channel. Ka-bam!
