If you don’t already know about Blacktonic you should check it out. They just got invited to Google I/O 2010 and have some pretty cool stuff to show off. These guys have built a very nice SaaS web presentation product (no browser plugins!), but what is really interesting to me is the real time web broadcasting technology they have created. Think: having the ability to broadcast stuff into any number of user’s web browsers all at the same time. This is not like everyone watching the same video on YouTube at once. The term floating around is the ‘real time web’ and I think these guys are riding the wave of the first real time web technologies and applications. Should be exciting to see what happens.
