Oh I thought it was fine. No prob with the feed here in Dallas. The only problem for me was comparing it to TechCrunch 50 and there was no comparison. I got spoiled.

awesome session, granted ustream kept on cutting here and there must have been a lot of connections, but I was able to live through it. A lot of what was said was common sense and most people would just figure, few nice ideas and suggestions came from it.

In regards to moderating, you did a decent job but kind of got a bit weak towards the end. It would have been good to hear more about the business model side of things, expanding on what the VC guy was talking about.

All in all, well done!

this really seems to be for folks in marketing. We get what is being said but really, 2 hrs of the same 5 best practices being reworded just isn’t this tech audiences passion.

Btw I don’t think erik is doing a bad job of moderating. The first 35 mins was great.

Aren’t the panelists sitting a little close to each other?

Neat stuff. I wanted a ticket, but couldn’t make the trip to Austin – so this is a real treat. Thanks for posting the live stream.

Erick…you might good at certain things…but you’re not good at being a moderator. Very bush league. Focus your questions, be direct, and politely but effectively keep your panel on track. I was going to pay the $50 and go to this today, but I’m glad I didn’t. And as far as the stream…feel free to mix in another camera or zoom in and out rather than swipe the camera back and forth making us sick. I appreciate the effort…but you and Ustream need to raise your hand and take a sub. Go sit on the bench for awhile and get better.

the video stream is absolutely amazing (watching here from california). Erick, you should be using the new google moderator for this. perfect way to grassroot up questions.
