Great to see all the presentations that people have uploaded.

In the post, John asked people to bring marketing material. Which is exactly what Todd did. He drove 2 hours down to Columbus on the off chance that he’d be featured in TechCrunch. And he was, which I think is awesome.

So there you go. Todd saw an opportunity, took advantage of it, and was featured.

TechCrunch should do a little bit more of these informal gatherings in the not so usual places. I’m sure they’ll be able to find a gem or two out there.

of course I admire and applaud Todd for doing that..

Good to see more great stuff coming out of Ohio. Sorry I didn’t make it to Columbus, been working on my own little kick-a$$ application myself – can’t stop for drinks!

Why is it necessary to say this? First of all, it’s a no-brainer. Everyone _should_ think before they reply anything. On the other hand, a lot of people don’t, and some never will. That’s still called ‘free speech’.

And there’s some real value in criticism, no matter how harsh. (well unless it’s “you suck, F* U loozr”).

To me that last request makes it look like the author befriended someone, and wants to protect them from criticism.

I don’t see such a comment at the end of an article about Yahoo e.g.

I mean, aren’t there a lot of us building fairly complex web-based apps in our spare time, by ourselves, without partners or hired help or funding? I’m doing it — and I’ve just sort of assumed, all this time, that the world (and especially the TechCrunch readership) was full of others doing the same.

Isn’t that what the Elevator Pitch features are all about? More people passionately creating stuff than room to write about them?

(OK, my web app isn’t a business, at least not yet; it’s just a free resource for anyone who cares to use it. But the commitment of time and energy, and the feeling of “one man with a dream,” are probably similar.)

I just wanted to say that it is great to see Flex apps like this coming from small companies who ‘get it’. I too run a small company in Sydney Australia and we’ve been developing a CMS in Flex for a few years now – we’re planning to launch the beta in a few months – so I know how hard it is to get something up and running when you’re just a small team (or single person).

How do you plan to monetize your product? Please don’t say advertising!

Yeah it’s a great site…. gotta love me some Flex goodness!

Congratulations for making TechCrunch, making the CF world look good.

There should be a web standard without backwards capabilities.

Time to take advantage of the TC feature and traffic my friend.

Hope your growth continues well.
