6 people get 5 minutes each to demo something cool to New York's tech community. a mashup of Astronomy + World News; the "Fastr Flickr Searchr Savr Sharr"; an interesting wiki thing; web video with clickable tables of contents; a citizen media site that pays content producers in advance; & a couple others... Thanks to DFJ Gotham and Wilson Sonsini.

Billed as a tech meetup but was very much commercially web-oriented software, not general technology. i would advise a change in the meetup name to reflect the nature of the meetup more precisely? the host had financial interests in 2 of the speaker's presentations. This was disclosed but i wondered about the speakers who did not appear, e.g. the ones who could not speak as all slots were full. and also the ordering of speakers (the final 2 were related to the host) in a nutshell - a pro, 5minute marketing gig reminding me strongly of internet hype bygone days when 5 minute standups were commonplace in VC circles.

Very good selection of presenters... and almost perfect ordering, from not-so-good to great

best one I have yet attended - I went up to Scott at the end to tell him how much I enjoyed it - thanks to all who put it together

Have a cash bar with beer and wine and let people network from 7:00 to 7:30 then have presentations. Leave bar open during and after presentations. Off site bar is no good, too loud, too far and too few people go.

This was a great meetup! It was my first, but what a great crowd!

Way to keep it moving. Brevity is the key to a clean presentation.

good pace...great companies.
I'd encourage Scott to be vigilent in treating all companies equitably - reagardless of his investment interests. Daylife stikes me as an example.
Also, I'd recommend handing out (or making e-available in a advance) a one-pager listing all companies as an FAQ (CEO, company location, tech platform, bus. model, etc). People ask many of these questions for every vendor

Fantastic mix of presenters ... A creative one, way out there. A visual/photo content one, love those. A fun, childish one.

It was my first time and I thought the presentations were interesting, the guy who hosts is wonderful (can't remember his name)

A very high caliber of presenters... and some really strong tech. The community is impressive.
