Captology Notebook - Stanford University

5-minute video about BuddyBuzz, our lab's invention for reading

After months of working in secret, we could finally share our lab's invention for mobile reading at Stanford's Media-X Conference. We call our innovation "BuddyBuzz." You can find a 5-minute video of our presentation at http://vodreal.stanford.edu/mediax/041201/fogg.ram

We've got lots to tell about BuddyBuzz, but our workload has prevented us from writing very much. So the online video and the few things below will have to do for now.

The quick overview:

• BuddyBuzz is the fastest way to read text on your mobile phone. 
• This end-to-end system combines RSVP, captology, social networking, and mobility.
• You can download BuddyBuzz and read news stories and magazine articles for free.
• To get started visit www.BuddyBuzz.net
• We welcome collaborators.
