Thanks. Great service. Thumbs up.
Brilliant move by Arrington to stream this live…
Especially since I couldn’t make it from Florida.. Thanks Mike.
This is great. Some of these companies have great UI’s and Branding Components while others haven’t even thought about it much. All in all a great event. Wish I could have been there!
Should we all clap when Jason rises from the ashes?
is there a way to watch the streams at a later day? Id like to view all the TC50 stuff at a later time since i cant follow it right now…
any possibility ?
Akoha blew my mind. So much thought went into the game’s mechanics.
Did Joi say investors are looking for the next facebook/ Has facebook even been sold or making huge cash. They are just a bill or two over Bebo sale price if not no more that a You Tube value.
facebook is the queen bitch of the Web2.0 bubble. if they do not sell now for mad money now they will not worth jack shit in a year or two.
Mike, give someone a mike, and a cam even a mobile phone cam and get some demo pt scenes or behind the scenes during the break shots. You know with people goofing off and shit like that.
the event is really inspiring. the contestants’ overall quality is high and inspiring. although some are clearly better than the others, products in general are good enough to stir up some buzz.
Are we going to see Techcrunch60 for ‘09?…

Augmented Reality Links for MObile… markerless tracking
Mike, where can we find the links to all recorded shows on U Stream? Managed to watch all day yesterday, but missed Monday and today… We feel like we are missing out and deprived of a lot of critical advice and insights… Thanks.
Bird Watch? A web App for bird watchers … are you kidding me? If this type of site can exist and get VC dollars, then I will create one for Big Foot findings, old classic card findings, MILF findings, etc. with all the do respect, but this one out of all the presentors is the lowest on my list.
The Plus: The presentor did an amazing job and loved the background and explanation. good luck to all.
Jeff Weiner ROCKS!
Is it just me or is Closet Couture asking for a trade mark infringement case from Chanel?
Re: Footnote – Completely agree with Loic. It has a huge ick factor and I would never want this surfaced for my relatives. And they want to charge for this?
Ugh. Absolutely hate it.
I agree with Loic – social networking for dead people and trying to monetise it is creepy! And there is a big difference between information being publicly available and promoting a social network around that information. This should be opt in only.
Sean Parker is high
Who was the cheap bastard at the end complaining that they should have got a cheaper iPod touch? How about you sell the iPod touch and buy another salmon colored shirt?
Bigs ups to TC50, from NZ! {seesmic_video:{”url_thumbnail”:{”value”:”http://t.seesmic.com/thumbnail/wBVjESYaZk_th1.jpg”}”title”:{”value”:”Bigs ups to TC50, from NZ! ”}”videoUri”:{”value”:”http://www.seesmic.com/video/5infhlj8i6″}}}
This event sucked, no fun intended
If you have ever needed a proof of why Microsoft is dead, watch the video of the idiot from msn money who presented during “working lunch” session on day 3. In the middle of entrepreneurs with exciting idea (or at least energy about their ideas, even when ideas themselves didn’t excite the audience) this guy made THE most boring, irrelevant, abstract and useless presentation on a topic which is incredibly challenging, exciting and full of opportunity. “Web is changing everything!” hmmmm. seems like finally the idiots at msn are catching up with 1998!
