“ A leading edge, highly conceptual topic/protocol was presented and discussed. Designed by the organizer to get the Atlanta Web Technology workers and entreprenuers thinking ahead of the curve. Well conceived and for the current point in the technologies development, gave enough incite and thought to get the conceptual entreprenuers juices flowing. ” -
“ This was a strong move by Mike, exposing a bunch of entrepreneurs to a raw technology that we can't have. After the break, about half the people still hung around and got into a pretty heated discussion; fantastic energy, and about 20-30 people showed up at the bar afterwards. I got six business cards from people with similar interests who want to get together on projects. Absolutely successful meetup. ” -
“ I really enjoyed the speech by Rick Thomas and the comments posed by the group. I am a marketer and blogger and the fartherest from a developer, but I walked away with a great understanding, great passion and a great learning. I was really impressed the group was trying to be at the forefront and I bet just from some of the conversations in the room that I had, we will see some million dollar+ ideas come out of this. ” -
“ Probably our best meeting yet; thanks Mike for all your efforts. ” -
“ Love staying on top of the curve! Very interactive crowd. Following the Tweets helped as well. ” -
“ Timely topic, earnest presenters but poorly organized; more confusing than educational. ” -
“ Probably needed to be moderated more effectively, more preparation from the presenters. ” -
“ Excellent presentation on Google Wave. Made it simple for all attendees. ” -
“ If you prepare a for long time a presentation is usually short and precise. If you prepare a short time it is long and imprecise. Seemed the later to me. Saying multiple times something is hard to grasp doesn't help grasp it. ” -
“ Mike does a great job of putting together a valuable agenda. As with any creative group, it can get sidetracked into the ridiculous, but it balances out by generating some true gems of ideas. ” -
“ Good discussion topic, I would have liked to see more of an example of a sample business idea and an approach to commoditize a service or a bot. ” -
“ Rethink white backgrounds for demos ;-) ” -
“ The degree of difficulty on this topic was fairly high, since it is a technology that hasn't even been released to the public yet. Still, the presenters were extremely disorganized and lost most of those who were attending from the very beginning. ” -
“ Unfortunately, Google Wave is a very tough concept to convey to people, so it would have helped if the initial introduction/etc was a little more planned and thorough. It felt like the first half of the meetup was "lost" as people struggled to grasp what Google Wave actually is. This was my first time attending, so I'm not sure if it's always like this but it definitely felt a little too unstructured/thrown together. I think especially given the topic everyone could have benefited from there being a little more structure, at least in the first half of the meetup when introducing the Wave Protocol/Technology.
”
-
“ As usual, great ideas and initiative were drawn from the group. ”
-
“ Good overview of a new concept from Google. Generated lots of interaction and thought provoking comments. Presentations ran behind schedule but presenters tried to be cognizant of the meeting schedule ”
