The Blogging of DEMO

by Steven Fisher on February 14, 2006

Last week saw an amazing amount of products at the granddaddy of product launch sesssion, DEMO.

DEMO 2006 had a raft of bloggers covering the event.

I really liked TechCrunch’s coverage and Jeff Clavier’s reviews of the companies.

My favorites? Riya, .Zingee, Ugobe, MooBella and Multiverse

Just go to those sites and check them out for yourselves.

Do you think there is room for another conference like DEMO?

It has great companies and lots of press coverage, but it is $3000 to attend.

That is for a reason, but there are many products that don’t make it. Chris Shipley says she sees 700 companies in a year and 10% get chosen. I wonder how many submit and even make it through to the presentation process.

This is truly American Idol for the Web 2.0 crowd.

I believe there exists an opportunity for a event that mixes venture pitches with product demos and localizes the effort.

Have any of you been to DEMO? What would you like to see that isn’t there?
