1000 Times 1000

Last night I travelled to Rotterdam (my previous home town) to give a speech on Web2.0 (and Fleck) at an i-local meeting. Obviously web2.0 was something people would love to hear more about so 45 people showed up (the room was to small).
Keith from Lunatech invited me to tell something about the subject. Before me there were 2 speakers (of Lunatech and Cyso).
When Steven of Cyso gave his presentation he used a presentation style inspired by Hans Appel (CTO Sun Microsystems), the funny thing was that Appel was inspired by Dick Hardt ☺
I used the Hardt approach as well, but I had 59 minutes (that is the time the train takes to go from Amsterdam to Rotterdam) to make a presentation of 84 slides which I did in 15 minutes (after some startup problems with the beamer)!
After my presentation there were a lot of questions (of which I say to myself is a sign of a good or at least a controversial presentation).
It was my second presentation on web2.0 this month (I did a presentation for Eggink van Manen, a PR firm earlier this month) and I got compliments on my performance (probably because no one says in your face that you suck ☺ ).
Fleck blowed minds away! It is interesting to see that people look at a service and think “ok, this is it, so how do you make money” and that they miss the big picture, the vision. After some visionary talks about the web and fleck, a guy told me: “I never looked at it this way, but what you guys are doing is unDutch, you should relocate to Silicon Valley!”
He had a point….
