Did anyone else think the beginning was much stronger than the end? Paul Graham, Jason Fried, and Chris Anderson were great but I didn't care for the Q&A sessions at all. What happened to actually preparing a talk for a big event you've been invited to? I wanted more on startups and advice, not just more pandering to twitter and facebook.
- csallen 17y agoI completely agree... using an interview format for Twitter and Facebook proved to be boring. It just wasn't the right forum for asking pointed, controversial, information-eliciting questions. Jason Fried, both Pauls, Tony Hsieh -- pretty much all the speakers -- proved that you can deliver much more valuable insight if you prep your own talk. I really would have loved it if the Twitter guys and Zuckerberg, especially, had done the same.
- jpwagner 17y agoI was surprised, despite the laziness, that the Twitter interview was so good. Their articulation of the realization that they did NOT want to be the kings of podcasting was eye-opening to me, maybe it was old news to others.
