Lift is coming to everybody's favorite phone, one day after the iPhone was finally announced in Korea! Here comes our iPhone app on which you can watch our talks, push them to your people, bookmark your favorites, and find out about our upcoming events.

Download Lift Application for your iPhone.

The application was developed in partnership with Akosma software and our video guru Thierry Weber who tell me that if your organization has online videos it wants to spread on the iPhone you should contact them!

Lift videos are back on iTunes. Subscribe to have our talks delivered to your mobile device free!

Update: we need you to subscribe to our YouTube channel to get it approved! Please do it it's free and painless on youtube.com/liftconference!

We are trying to get our YouTube account upgraded to Partner status, in order to upload our talks that go well over the normal 10 minutes limit. If you have a contact that could help us please let me know (laurent at liftconference dot you know what). I tried to contact Youtube but can't seem to find someone to talk to.

Result is you'll find our talks on Vimeo, DailyMotion, Blip, Metacafe, Revver and Viddler, but not on the world's largest video sharing platform. And we want to post the talks of Google speakers like Vint Cerf or Kevin Marks!

More content: 6 workshops have been captured by Klewel. Here are the videos complete with slides and search. These will also be published on our video system but at a later date.

Six of the 21 LIFT workshops will be be captured by Klewel and published online on klewel.com/lift09.

The TSR got 100'000 views in 3 weeks on the LIFT08 content, but as our videos are hosted on numerous platforms (Nouvo, Google, Vpod, YouTube) it is not the only place where our speakers get a lot of online exposure. We are about to pass 100'000 views on Google Video:

For each person visiting the conference we get 150+ views on the online videos, which confirms there is strong interest in the ideas expressed at LIFT all over the world!

I just received the stats from the TSR regarding their LIFT08 videos mini-site, and the numbers are... beyond impressive! One video got around 50'000 views in three weeks, and overall the 100k bar has been passed. I will receive the precise figures soon but these numbers are a testimony to the quality of our speakers, and to the quality of the whole setting we managed to create around their ideas :)

I just finished uploading all videos and every single speech given at LIFT08 should now be online. The complete list of available videos is here, and check this cool piece about LIFT experience:

Paul Barnett's talk on "Massive Multiplayer Online games, movies, las vegas casinos and golf" got more than 13'000 views in one day, a pretty impressive number that puts him in second place in the all time LIFT videos ranking, second only to the amazing Sugata Mitra. Congrats Paul, and have a look at the video if you haven't yet seen it!

The Swiss television (aka the TSR, the amazing pros behind the best ever LIFT videos!) has a site called TSR Découverte, intended to promote the knowledge society to the general public. They just launched a full page dedicated to LIFT where you will find the extensive resources they have amassed over three years of close collaboration with LIFT.

This year we have had a record number of partnerships with public services and administrations (TSR, city and republic of Geneva, CTI startup, ICT Cluster, Federal office for culture among others), a trend that clearly shows LIFT is getting recognized as a useful and important event in our region. And as you can guess that makes me and the team quite happy and proud :)
