How to pitch bullshit - Slides from a cynical talk
- ams6110 15y agoOne or two chuckles here, but overall not worth the time.
- derwildemomo 15y agoafter all, these are just the slides :-/
- rb2k_ 15y agothe real presentation (android developer camp stuttgart) was hilarious. sadly no video capture available :(
- bane 15y agoGood points about communicating your idea to your mother-in-law and using pictures to avoid the tl;dr issue. The advice in here would have been helpful to the Google Wave team I think. Communicating complex technical ideas is hard. Whenever we have an idea for a project, we see if we can sum the project up in a 5 or 6 word slogan. If we can't, it's too complicated and we ditch it.
- BonoboBoner 15y agoI dont think the pitch of Wave was bad... just the UI and the lack of integration with your existing contacts.
- derwildemomo 15y ago+1. The pitch was after all the best part, remember the expectations just after the announcement?
- bane 15y agoI remember an hour long video I had to sit through just so they could give the basic gist. (I say this as a fan of Wave btw, used it on many projects very successfully, exceptionally sad to see it go)
- entangld 15y agoPeople who use technical terms are generally specialists. When you're speaking to specialists in another field, or the general population you just have to use general language.
