Don’t ask for volunteers if you aren’t going to even respond to their emails!

I emailed Tanya a couple days ago, and have still received no reply. While I understand that everyone at TechCrunch must be overloaded with things to do in the run-up to the conference, I really do need a response soon. My plan is to fly out for the conference if I can get in as a volunteer, but to do that I need to make travel reservations and arrange accommodations. Do you have any advice for moving forward with this? The conference looks like a great opportunity, and I would hate to unnecessarily miss out on it. Thanks!

And that is from Duncan who used to work at TechCrunch writing all the awesome reviews of everything new and exciting. The Job that Michael tells us he really wants, his ideal job. Yet when Duncan leaves he tells Duncan that one day he would like to buy his new company. So maybe Duncan is still upset about that, not being seen as an equal?

But this article was originally written by the New York Times, its a newspaper in New York. And its pretty hard on Michael and TC50 for making a bunch of money on the startup kids. So Gideon was probably just referencing his agitation and inability to eloquently mutter disapproval.

Sudhanshu if you really want to protect Michael and TC50, you most likely would do a much greater service going after the New York TImes and Duncan Riley for stirring the pot. I agreed TC50 is better for the world then Demo and Michael could afford to fly Michael Jung in from where ever and still make a profit from the conference.

To quote Michael, “Go away.” He can handle his own battles.

I love your blog, but have to say, as recovered Indie Film producer, now aspiring social media guy, who just graduated from USC where all the under-grads are so plugging in to the Matrix (I would sit in the quad and count how many sin su iPhone or cell and the # was always around 10%), to read your embrace of Hollywood and the hip-new-media crowd is troubling and then to “hit” up volunteers.

The Free Culture movement will be having a conference at Berkeley in October and it would be great if you could attend.

The digital commons movement is too important to buy into the Hollywood two-step and hype machine.

Here’s an example of the two-step: http://uscpubd5...-yourspace.html

Lets see….
TechCrunch is THE best tech blog out there and they are in this to make money. They are doing students a huge favor by allowing them to attend at such discounted rates ($150). I am sure that TechCrunch can afford to let students in for free but this fee of $150 filters out 90% of the students who would not be serious enough to attend the conference and makes the other 10% people apply.
This ensures that TechCrunch has fewer applications to sort through and the applications are from people who are serious about attending.

Hope that helps in clarifying things

I’m willing to throw some time your way for the even. And no, I’m far from being a student!! I’m actually a manager (older, much older) but I live in the East Bay Area, and can lend some time to the event!

You have my email, so let me know if you need/want help from someone who’s been in the game for 20+ years!

peace

I am sure you remember me. I am the guy who knocked on your door on May 30th and told you about gloofi.com. I also told you that I never give up and after our 3000 Miles move from Florida to Sunnyvale including Hurricane interruption and car breakdown we are finaly here;-)
I would be happy to help as a volunteer so I am able to meet people and get info on how to bring my idea forward (And work of course). Since I work 2 projects to pay bills, I am not able to spent money on getting a Demo Pit but when I see what other companies in the search business are doing (Cuil, Wikia Search for example) I am sure I do not have to be shy with what I did so far, alone with no investment.
So, make an exception and allow me to be a “student” to volunteer at this event;-)

Best,

Martin
