Its interesting how the "herd mentality" causes startup people (like me) to want to be part of the club, even if the club is a total of 52 + 70 (Demo) + 200 (TC50 demo pit) = 322 startups trying to get everyone's attention. Chris Shipley is indeed a great person, thoughtful, inquisitive, and with an occasional cutting sense of humor. Sorry that she got checkmated by the Mike/Jason show, but maybe they just checkmated themselves too.elliottngWed, 10 Sep 2008 00:28:27 -0000http://www.inquisitr.com/3009/tc50-v-demo-the-startups-are-the-losers/#comment-2253958which products announced at TC or DEMO are worth investigating. if i only have time to investigate 3 or 4 which should i look at?daveTue, 09 Sep 2008 20:29:07 -0000http://www.inquisitr.com/3009/tc50-v-demo-the-startups-are-the-losers/#comment-2253935DEMO's home page has links to over 200 news stories from around the Web about the companies launching at their show. Looks like pretty good coverage to me. <a href="http://www.demo.com" rel="nofollow">http://www.demo.com</a>HelenTue, 09 Sep 2008 20:26:33 -0000http://www.inquisitr.com/3009/tc50-v-demo-the-startups-are-the-losers/#comment-2253685A great post.<br>This sums up what I imagine many people, including many of the start ups were hoping didnt happen in the lead up to these two events. Perhaps next year some in the social space might be a bit more social.CarlMaxxTue, 09 Sep 2008 20:00:51 -0000http://www.inquisitr.com/3009/tc50-v-demo-the-startups-are-the-losers/#comment-2253674Right now I see four stories from TC50 and one from Demo, too, on TechMeme, so not sure you're all that correct that startups aren't getting talked about even on the TechMemeosphere.ScobleizerTue, 09 Sep 2008 19:59:27 -0000http://www.inquisitr.com/3009/tc50-v-demo-the-startups-are-the-losers/#comment-2253653I agree and have passed that along, so have other people. That said, over the last year TechMeme has gone away from bloggers and individual people to being far more heavy in professional news outlets. If you compare Twitter and FriendFeed you'll see the startups got a LOT of coverage and discussion. TechMeme itself has changed and that's part of the results you are noticing.ScobleizerTue, 09 Sep 2008 19:57:27 -0000
