Startup Weekend Recap
I just got done with Startup Weekend (in Boulder), and the experience lit the fire for this blog - I got excited about new tech again, and saw that for a lot of developers, the quality of their copy is falling behind the quality of their product. They’re making cool stuff, but they’re not communicating how cool it really is. The value of good writing is being overlooked, and it’s just not being talked about… that’s what this blog is for. Hopefully, it’ll be helpful, and definitely, it’ll be fun. More to come soon.
But for now, seeing as Startup Weekend was my inspiration, I figured I’d drop a few links to those interested… check them out to see what went down (if you don’t know already):
I just wrote a piece about my Startup Weekend experience, and if all goes well, it should be up on the main site sometime soon.
Micah (a friend of Andrew’s and a BizDev for Lijit) did some good blogging on the live-site, and wrote down a few good things on his own blog.
Laura from mediacasters.tv rocked the weekend with a ton of live-content… not only recording what was going on, but making cool stuff happen too. Most of it is still up to see, so definitely go check it out.
And I’m sure there’s more. If Danny’s reading, it’d be great to get a link to some of his stuff in the comments section, but now… anybody else?

Startup Weekend videos are coming soon. You can view a few of the different teams pitches in the video from the first day at

The interesting thing that I really took away from the weekend was the pace of multimedia. How does someone like me compete in a world where cell phones can broadcast live. When will the day come where consumers are comfortable with low quality shaky video and us “old timers” are trying to catch up.
Thanks for the link Danny… and make sure to keep us posted when more come out!
And yeah, I was surprised by the multimedia too… they’re doing some cool stuff. However, when the whizz-bang wears off, it’s still shaky video on a bad connection, and most of the time (without editing), it’s bad content. There’s a place for it, no doubt, but there’s a place for what you’re doing too.
No matter how popular blogs get, people are still going to read books (even if they do it on the Internet).
