Where TF are all European startups at TechCrunch 50? - http://uk.techcrunch.com/2008...
Dave Martin, Zack Brandit, Steven Cains and 13 other people liked this
OK, so either a lot of European startups weren’t deemed good enough to enter TechCrunch 50, or there were not enough judges who are inclined to EU startups, or Europe is just not producing enough quality startups. Whatever the reason, the number of Europeans at TechCrunch 50 is - for a region that encompasses about 300 million people - relatively thin on the ground and I am trying to determine quite why this is. (Then again, maybe the fairly high price of the ticket put a lot of people off coming?)
- Zee.
from Bookmarklet
Maybe European startups just don't buy into the TC50/Demo hype...
- Johannes Kleske
I don't know Johannes, I think any European startup would be delighted to be presenting in front of the judges they have. It really is a pretty impressive crowd.
- Zee.
a better question would be, where is the european equiv of TC50 held in a european country? why don't we plan our own? there's no point in harping on about not being invited!
- alphaxion
the european startups will be well represented at LeWeb I promise!
- Loic Le Meur
@Alphaxion agreed, we should & will. LeWeb is definitely up there although obviously not identical in format. However, TC50 is an international startup event and should be wide open to anyone from anywhere. You're right though, judging by the way some of the judges speak...you'd think some had never been out of SV.
- Zee.
@zee I'm pretty sure quite a few have a mental boundries at SV.. but something that is immediately clear from the years of following blogs etc that the americans have a far far more developed tech social and events scene than anywhere in europe. I would LOVE to change that but I can never find people to get on board of anything I try to organise.
- alphaxion
Also note that we're trying to accomplish sth similar with Plugg - http://plugg.eu

7 at DEMO, not huge, but not too bad either.
- Duncan Riley
@Naor it's a long drawn out process here in the UK & considering the current economic climate in the UK at least it's pretty dire. Hopefully that will change within a year.
- Zee.
7 isn't bad to be fair - are we including Israel there Duncan?
- Zee.
because many of them never even look in that direction and when they do totally underestimate the effort going into this. then for many funding to even go there is not available and further, again, if non english as native language, many find it difficult to speak english well enough. and, of course, there are 'american' expactations to be fullfilled from the audience and most likely the jury as in limited mindset of what works and what not. a lot of hen-egg problems.
- Nicole Simon
the major conferences with startup participation plus special ones like plugg and startup.eu help a bit on they way but even there you can ask the same question for example where are the german startups in the eu-competion. reason? see above, rinse and repeat. we are working on it. ;)
- Nicole Simon
@zee well i guess it explains it, a strong pre-seed and seed funding will cultivate emergence of startups etc. (might be an opp. here. i wonder)
- Naor Mark
Zee, my bad, I didn't look at the break down, just the Europe figure. I know Israel was over represented at TC50, presuming the same for DEMO I guess
- Duncan Riley
Israel is far more entrepreneurial than Europe is, in my observation. The stuff that's cooking over there is pretty interesting and the culture reminds me of Silicon Valley.
- Robert Scoble
there are a couple of startup/seed funding setups emerging...obviously there's seedcamp, yEurope (which i don't know much about) and a soon to launch "Team Europe" (teameurope.net)
- Zee.
@Robert i realise it's true, but it's gutting to here. I haven't been out to Israel, but would love to figure out why that is the case there more so than the Europe.
- Zee.
I mean London does have it's fair share of startups but nothing quite as eclectic as Israel. Ireland has it's fair share but I see too many of their startups just sticking to their local market rather than making a splash abroad.
- Zee.
Zee: culture. The Israelis have had the shit kicked out of them in the recent past. Also, their geeks are held in place by that culture. Europe's geeks often leave to start stuff elsewhere. Also, failure is accepted in Israel, it isn't in Europe. There are other reasons too, entire books have been written on the topic.
- Robert Scoble
there's an israeli company on the front of DPI development.. scary system that can identify application streams on a per user level!
- alphaxion
Yeah, definitely valid points - i guess the question is what can we do about it on this end.
- Zee.
Zee: celebrate your geeks. :-) I'll be at LeWeb3 and Davos's World Economic Forum (I'm helping submit/judge startups for that, too, so if you know of cool ones, let me know).
- Robert Scoble
@zee first of all you're invited to visit us :) seconds i agree with @scoble it's more then a lot og geeks running around - we have a lot of preseed/seed capital which are willing to take high risks, while for round A or B companies are looking at the silicon valley, the key is that if you plant enough seeds, you'll get to see 1, 2, 5% of them growing into something
- Naor Mark
@robert this is something I have been lamenting for a loooong time.. all too often I'm the only one out of my meatspace friends that is even aware of much of this type of tech scene :(
- alphaxion
@Robert, will definitely do. Also, so you're definitely doing LeWeb now? @Naor, sounds like startup paradise...
- Zee.
It's definitely a cultural thing, although I get the feeling we're slowly moving to a more entrepreneurial spirit all over Europa. I'm particularly interested in Eastern Europe, where taking risks seems to be much more acceptable socially.
- Robin Wauters
I'd agree with you Robin - I think the main issue there though is access to serous funding is limited. So you need strong connections with either wester europe and/or the US (which whether we like or not, rarely look to invest out of their homeland)

Zee: yeah, I think Maryam is coming to Paris too.

Give PowerPoint Presentations with pptPlex and Impress Audience - http://www.labnol.org/softwar...
martin english, CW™, Matthew Imakyure and 33 other people liked this
On my talk on Friday I told my audience that I would never use Powerpoint again because I had worked at Microsoft. That got a HUGE laugh. And I'm serious. Even with tools that make PowerPoint more useful, like this one, I just hate what it's done for presenters. Most use it badly. The ones who use it well are really great, though. It's just that I've sat through so many bad presentations that I'd rather not encourage anyone.
- Robert Scoble
I agree, but I think the problem has more to do with a presenter's inability to understand the theater behind what they're doing. PPT does make people lazy, but I have a feeling even if their design department put together a kick ass Flash animation for it, they'd still end up just reading the bullet points.
- Ciaoenrico
So what do you use Robert?
- Brad Nickel
Brad: I stand up in front of the audience and talk off of an outline and I demo things when appropriate. If I had to use PowerPoint I'd do it like Larry Lessig does it. Lots of photos, very few words. Tell a story with visuals.
- Robert Scoble
I moved to images and one thought per slide about 2 years ago. Works beautifully, but your method reminds me of my debate / extemp days. May have to think about going back there. Why do I need an image for every thought, when I am a persuasive public speaker, eh? Thanks.
- Brad Nickel
Seriously. Since when did it become okay or useful to paraphrase what you're going to present and then project it on a screen while you present? My company has an Acceptable Usage policy for the Internet; we need one for PowerPoint.
- Tim Harding
Yes, use PP in a manner that it doesn't look like PP. Like Paul Isakson's well-known presentation: http://tinyurl.com/37sbht.
- Marko Bon
Look at Steve Jobs presentations. He has everything, including the theater.
- Roberto Bonini
@Brad Nickel I like to think of the visuals as emotional buoys. Your speaking is the navigation but the reefs, as well as the moorings, need to be given some prominence.
- Christopher Harley
I use Powerpoint to keep the flow of information going and to be sure I don't skip something important. Otherwise I might talk the whole hour and a half - being engaging and entertaining - but neglecting some key points.(I teach branding/marketing workshops for small hair salons)
- Aura Mae
slides are *not* a script. if you need reminding about what you planned to say, a: use the presenters notes feature and b: this means you need to rehearse more. if you don't know your material inside and out how can you hope to get your message across to the audience?
- h1ro
Yeah. I use SlideRocket now, with one eye-popping image and a few words of text per slide. If I have an important set of data to present, I'll put that on a slide--in a recent presentation on the workflow for my podcast, one slide listed all the software I use. But generally it's just an image and a thought.
- Brent Newhall
Wonder how Edward Tufte feels about this update? He was always one to rail on PowerPoint (and especially the presentation style that it fostered.) Does this move presentation style in the right direction, or wrong direction? (I understand it allows you to "drill into" a slide to show information contributing to that slide... which is hard to do ad-hoc with linear slides.)
- Wade Dorrell
Presenters notes only work if you are standing at your computer. For a workshop where the presenter is moving about the crowd, they are useless. Moving to the next slide is the cue to move to the next topic. Perhaps a workshop (interacting with the audience) is different than a speech which could be memorized? (I can rehearse my content, but it is hard to rehearse the unexpected input from each audience.)
- Aura Mae
I still think LaTeX is the best for presentations: writing one couldn't be quickier, and the result, without being a "show", is accessible, readable, good looking and professional.

this is like blaming wordpress for sucky blog postings and spam blogs. just because it is the most used software does not make it the reason for sucky presentations. (btw I just ordered the office 2007 although i despise the ribbon and what it does to my productivity. it is just that everything other offering of office software is so not on par with needed features for smart working. then again i am a power user who knows what she is doing.)
- Nicole Simon
@aura you can never anticipate every possible audience interaction but depending on the content, you can use questions or interactions in an adaptive manner in order to bring the conversation back to your main talking points. you are on stage - you are in control of the conversation. if you are giving a presentation not a workshop. if it's a workshop style event then the rules change. if it's a presentation, you are there to move the audience to understand what you are trying to share
- h1ro
@marcos the tool shouldn't matter - i think that people should practice talking with no props or visual aids at all like @robertscoble was mentioning. if you can't tell a story without a 50ft visual aid you might want to rethink your strategy :)
- h1ro
@Nicole it doesn't make PowerPoint the reason for bad presentations, but whether the gravity it exerts as popular software has a bad (or good, or no) effect on presentation as a whole is a debate we can have.
- Wade Dorrell
+1 h1ro. amen to that. ppt is a crutch.
- .LAG liked that
I agree. I enjoy using PowerPoint for instructional pres but I never use it alone, its usually in connection with Camtasia or Impatica. But I've noticed that I will hear people say "O, yeah, I can do PowerPoint" and then you do see what they mean: It's every thing that Edward Tufte warns against and more. It just seems to me that they are not enjoying what you can do with the tool. They don't even explore it. And yes, most importantly you have to have a story to tell. You've got to storyboard.

@Robert Unclear whether the "Right" was sarcasm or affirmation. Thanks for the reply. Anyway, do you use any kind of resource to share data spoken & unspoken?

QUESTION: how many RSS feeds do u sub to? I reduced to 200.
qian, Kol Tregaskes, Mike Reynolds and 4 other people liked this
around 220, but I am finding that the quality on most of them is dropping. While easier to cull, harder to find quality...
- James Fridley
Actual subs? 64, but three of those are Yahoo pipes fees that mashup 50 or so sources for me.
- FFing Enigma (aka Tina)
200+ but always looking for unique feeds. Using feedly vs. gReader makes it a lot easier to scan fresh content from many feeds.
- michael sean wright
About 40 but fast becoming only 1 - FriendFeed
- Sean Kelly

I'm down to about 130 now. If someone is an active FriendFeeder, I get a good stream of their info here, so I don't need it in two places (Google Reader and FriendFeed).

- Dimitar Vesselinov
I'm subscribed to 106, most of them infrequent programming blogs, but one of them is Robert Scoble's shared item feed. Therefore it seems like a lot more. Scoble is a force multiplier.
- DGentry
Right now I'm at about 60. I've cut back until I can figure out a good way to organize them. Any suggestions?
