Chris & Jessica - yes, I dropped the "two foot rule" so we could get the sessions going by 9. Won't happen next year. I think the line gets crossed when we're no longer showing "expertise" but "product" primarily. I think when people hear "buy my product" and are not hearing about the cool things you're doing, they should use the two foot rule. Chris, I remember the beer session, I don't see that as a "pitch".

I agree, Chris. People doing cool stuff is cool... I think maybe emphasize the "two feet" rule more.. :)

I have a feeling I know who it was. But also, at what point is it not a product pitch and it's actually just a presentation?

For instance, I wouldn't put wearetampabay as a product pitch, but it was Brian and Dan trying to spread the word of their redesigned app, for sure...

Also, last year's BCTampa, I talked about my passion of beer and also released Hopvault, which would definitely be a "product pitch" in the end, as I was trying to spread awareness and gain uses to my new site.

What's the fine line between those two examples and our accused product-pitcher?

Carl, sorry I though I already replied in Disqus. I finally figured out who moved the furniture at least ;)

Thanks Joe. I really appreciate you taking the time to come out. I need to figure out the rooms for next year, walking back and forth just isn't working.

this is not an everyday crazy idea. this is an idea with pragmatic approach and it will work.

No, not at all. Had nothing to do with you.

Just making sure my presentation on Posterous didn't get interpreted as a product pitch, in which case I'll archive it immediately. :-)

Re: BarCamp Tampa Bay

SeanDavis — Sun, 25 Sep 2011 19:45:22 -0000

I'd rather not say as I didn't actually 'see' it happen. I just 'heard' about it. For next year I'll make it much clearer that that type of behavior will get the presentation shut down.

What was the product pitch!?

I posit to you that the reason no one surfs on their TV is because there is no mass market path to a good 10ft browsing experience. There are a lot of college students out there who don't even have TVs. Instead they consume their television shows and movies via laptop. Phones and tablets are definitely in the mix there, but, in that segment, a pc is the screen with the most facetime.

Had a telephone truck with a neanderthal driver do that too me once, and not accidently. Persisted with my complaint to the phone company and eventually it cost the driver a day's pay.

Revenge truly is a dish best served cold.

Indeed, learning to say "no" is tough. It's more critical to figure out when the time is right to say it than actually saying it, I think. :)

You bet she did ;) As well as Michael, Marco, Ryan Hunter-Reay and some of the crew. She had a great time.

The feeling is normal. I felt that way often when I ran BidWayUSA and Computer Needs, Inc. - always felt there was more to do and could never fall asleep. On the rare occasion I felt that I had accomplished enough in that day to turn off my mind and relax for the evening. Those days were far and few between. It's perfectly normal. If you didn't feel that way I would question your resolve to be an entrepreneur! Go for the gold Sean.
