    New member. Let me in please?

Who attended?

  • 399 attendees
    •  This month the best part of the Meetup for me was chatting with 2-3 entrepreneurs after the main agenda. Regarding the 400 limit on RSVPs, I think I got lucky by checking email at the right time, otherwise I would have missed out on RSVPing. 
    •  It was my first. I really enjoyed it. The transitions between demos was not ideal: the next demo always took over the display before the current demo was done answering questions. 
    •  great changes, timely and fresh. Glad to see forward thinking and serious self-criticism. 
    •  This event was great. Audience feedback and participation clearly indicated, with the exception of the differentiation-less 10gen demo, that people not only "got it" but many of them *want it*. I'm looking forward to some vision next month - something George Orwell meets Obama ~?~ (read: bold with balance). Surprise me! 
    •  Absolutely Inspiring and educational! The energy level in the room and from all your presenters was great! It gave me such energy to go on with my own work! 
    •  Well these are my honest thoughts... I been to a few others and loved them. This was the first one that seemed to drag a little. I think the reason why was because it was already one of the longest with the most presenters but a few were of things that were pretty dull compared to the others. Now I'm not saying everything has to be a fun site, I did find the cloud computing solution to be cool since I'm recruiting in that space but it definitely did drain me a little. Maybe next time just have 1 topic that seems to be dull in a shorter venue? If you have a longer one, make sure that most of the presentations are lively so people wont walk out like they did in this one. 
    •  Great variety of presentations, very well run and organized (space, time management, A/V). Looking forward to seeing the organization evolve to the next level. 
    •  Good mix of presentations. 
    •  Loved it. Jam-packed with presos, and some very neat stuff. I liked Cookstr, the collaborative composition tool, and the...not sure...environmental thing built on Google Maps (reminded me of ZoomProspector). 
    •  Looking forward to the new direction! 
    •  I enjoyed the Wee Web presentation the most. 
    •  Moved at a brisk pace with a little bit too much of the meetup's history at the tail end. 
    •  The organizer spoke for an incredibly long time. That brought the meetup from great to good. 
    •  Too many presenters. Ideas were nice, but none seem to be a killer. Also, looks like the announcements after the demos aren't there anymore; they used to be useful. 
    •  It is very messy, hard to find potential business partner, very very inefficient, because you do not know who is the right person to talk to, it is more like a party. But we do not need a big party. There is no different 400 people attending or 1000 people attending? How many you can talk in 1-2 hours? We need to pin-point the potential business cooperation. There is no such mechanism with this meetup.
