If you want to see a video of what happens after being "Techcrunched" - check this link about David Cohen's service Earfeeder, which was featured on TechCrunch, and then sold in a little over a month afterwards.

Awwww....We were not at Web 2.0 today. What shows are you heading to over the next few weeks? Will you be there with the big HD? :-).Hey and we are always up for drinks at the Ritz in Half Moon Bay!

You know what it is about in this world? Developing relationships and doing stuff! You know what I did? I started doing events like RSS Winterfest and later the Podcast Hotel. That's how I met Robert and folks like Marshall Kirkpatrick,, who wrote about us in TechCrunch this week. All those events, meeting people, talking about issues...it all comes together when you decide to get out and meet folks. And the best part? Without being too corney, a lot of these folks have become friends. Just sending an email to a well-known blogger is not going to cut it. You have to get out there and do something. Start a blog, do an event, podcast -- that's where the relationships develop.

I suggest A-list IT guys to concentrate not only A-Z lists IT products but on BT (biotech) topics too, for example: http://pimm.wordpress.com/2...

Funny how the blogosphere and all the cutting edge stuff we are allegedly doing is evolving into the same old game that's always been played?

Kinda sad. But meh, reality.

Gabe: You asked me to email you. Did you get my email?

40 emails per day is not too bad. I wonder how many of them are duplicates from same company or product. Techcrunch has the stuff to research and sort them out.

Agree with Robert. Companies should blogging. Grow their community. Focus on building a good product that wow users. Bloggers will find you. Why few marketers can't think of trackback on Techcrunch?

About 2nd tier Web 2.0 Startup didn't make it to Scoble or Techcrunch. www.thewebsig.com will consider provide space for product demo during networking hour. We will be strict on our selection.

1. Must be strong in
A. Technology
B. User Interface
C. Features
D. Or major breakthrough in innovation
2. Must be useful
Optional:
3. Provide resources for Developers and Designers
4. Allow Developers and Designers to contribute
5. Enable Webmasters to generate revenue

I eyeball thousands of sites in my past life. I have done countless of usability sessions. Any Web 2.0 startups would have to pass my "eyeball" unless they sponsor us.

So there are still hopes for 2nd tier startups especially those are far far away from SV. We get you in no matter how far you live and work.

Robert-
I don't know how guys like Arrington and yourself deal with so much e-mail.

I don't think information has to be centralized- but I do think that there is value in centralization. The masses aren't geeks like you and me and scroll through all the trackbacks to find interesting sites. I'm willing to bet someone will attempt to create a blog highlighting the next tier of companies that Techcrunch is not getting to. Who does it successfully is the larger question in my mind.

Did you happen to run across Cambrian House at the Web 2.0 conference? I'm interested in your thoughts on that company.

Robert Scoble — Thu, 09 Nov 2006 00:34:36 -0000

Drew: I get a TON that I don't have time to do either. It'd be great to do something like that.

But, really, why does this all need to be centralized anyway?

Really what companies need to do is start blogging and then just link to TechCrunch. The trackback will show up and then everyone can check out the cool new thing.

I'm suprised so few marketers get this.

It really was a great video- it's amazing that Arrington gets 40 requests a day from companies that want to be covered. Perhaps someone should start a TechCrunch Jr. blog that covers the 2nd tier of web 2.0 startups that TechCrunch Sr. can't get to?

Markus: yeah, that might be a problem, but generally I am sober at 2 a.m.

At 2AM you may have had a few to many drinks to make a great video ;)

So getting on the ScobleShow also requires getting up before 10am?! Oh, you A-listers really are insufferable!
