A big thank you to everyone who attended in person and online. All told we had about ~250 at the venue and we’re told perhaps a hundred or more on Sara’s channel on Justin.tv. A round of thanks to Munjal Shah, David Weekly, David Marks, and Ted Rheingold for four outstanding short talks and to Talktiva, Gigya and Satisfaction for demos. A shout out to the bub.blicio.us crew for video. Since everyone helped with tickets we’re going to continue to move towards upscale events in quieter venues. Video and more photos as soon as we get them. If you’re uploading to flicker please tag ‘em ‘founderhacks‘ and ‘stirr‘. We’ll post the talk video and more photos from the event soon.
