    •  I really like the tipjoy company. I think they have a great biz model. The cell phone "question" company (chacha) could be an occasional 411 replacement for me. I wasn't so inspired by loud3r. Oosah has a sweet interface (lots of AJAX/JS I imagine) but 2 questions (1) is it all legal? (2) I like managing media but expanding to slide shows and videos for stuff I'm selling (and posting these to widgets) sounded a bit beyond what the focus should be.... SNAPPYSTUFF sounded great! Oh yeah - I gave a 30 sec pitch on SnappyStuff at the end - a semi-automated personal inventory management system... inventories your stuff when you acquire it or off-load it... connects to various marketplaces and social networks for co-listings and to spread the word... helps manage all the offers you get... and when you do get something or sell something - it updates your inventory and listings! We're looking for Beta Testers to give us feedback so check it out! 
    •  I've been going to these meetings on/off for a couple of years. They are fantastic! I love hearing about all of the new ventures and technologies and I meet the best people. Meetings can be a giant waste of time--but I've never gone to any of the NewTech meetings and felt that way. I've always found them to be run professionally, very time efficient and very valuable. Thank you so much for having these meetings! 
    •  interesting web 2.0 business/company presentation 
    •  The meeting was great, I loved seeing these new companies present their services. I think it should be in a bigger room, and the food should be more accessible rather than being on a crowded area where people are trying to watch the presentations. 
    •  This is the first time I've attended this meetup and I'm glad I finally made it to one. 
    •  Interesting demos, interesting people. 
    •  Great startups!
