These websites are not companies. They are tools and gimmicks. They don't make money. SoupFly for example simply steals information from the nyc.gov site and yelp.com.
I come if I see presenters who have a business model. I'm interested in business, not software that makes no money.Posted December 6, 2009 at 11:24 PM -

Jeffrey LaCavaI was hoping to hear more about the startups. Unfortunately, they only had 5 minutes. Maybe give them 10 min.

Eric BrossThis was my first NY Tech Meetup. I had expected more time to socialize and network with other colleagues, but did enjoy the presentations that were made. I guess I had assumed that there was 15-20 minutes of comments and presentations and then open time for networking, instead of the 45 minutes of presentations. I'll plan accordingly, going forward.

Douglas KerstenSeemed a little shaky and the one minute events seemed too fast. Was not so happy that one of the principal companies presenting was from California. It is the NY Tech Meetup and this company should have been relegated to the 1 min. slots so a NY company could present. It felt to me that favors were being handed out for presenting and I did not like that at all. Is the purpose of the meetup to promote NY Tech startups or to promote the portfolio of favored VCs? I think the former.

Brian DriscollThough the discussion on net neutrality was a bit boaring and occupied too much of the meetup's time.

Bernie KahnWhile the long interview/speech on Net Neutrality was an interesting topic, having this before any of the 5 minute presentations killed the energy level. Audience was more polite than the usual enthusiasm; post meeting networking was murmurs rather than loud buzz.
Chocri was fun to hear, but what was tech about this? Their web site was nothing unusual.

OlgaBeing stuck in back office for so many years, this meetup was a fantastic wakeup jolt of energy. Such a pleasure to see people's passion and hard work on display. Thank you to presenters and organizers!

Alan FreemanWell organised. I thought net-neutrality debate was the least interesting part. Great idea to force participants to speak to person on left and right.
Suggestion: It would be nice if there was better wifi access and people could be commenting and discussing real time via twitter.
Thanks for a well organised event - this was my first time attending.

Dean Collinsthe keynote was ok but could have been longer the companies pitching were ok but could have been better (and more of them). I feel like the newtech meetup is 'rushed'
-
Phil Wangnet neutrality bit was a nice departure from norm. tech minute demos seemed like tech 20-second demos.. didnt feel like it was enough time to get a substantive demo. ogmento was super cool.
-
Will Gordon+1 guestThe Net Neutrality discussion needed to be more focused as it wandered too much
-
-
Jon ThorntonDiscussion of net neutrality went waaaaay too long. NY Tech Minute presentations are still great, and Ogmento absolutely killed it. So some good and some bad this month.
-
VishalFirst time to the meetup...impressed...i live far in jersey...so maybe if we start a bit early say around 6 pm, i can interact more and network with people.
Overall nice to see the demos, talk and announcements.
Will be back in Jan for sure.

October's NYTM had amazing post-event networking because the bar was publicized beforehand, and also Designer Pages' generously buying drinks. Hopefully in the future, the post-drinks venue can be publicized beforehand and mid-event, including the address? Can we find a venue that has a bar? I'd pay more for that.
