No need to make it shorter, if you can find the time to write. Also watched some presentations last night from the live-stream - and was also amazed at the somewhat mediocre presentation quality in front of THAT audience and after THAT selection process... Speaking of selection process: I'm wondering about the quality of some ideas. Is that really the finest 50 out of 1000+ companies ? Was expecting more AI, more SaaS ideas - e.g. in the corporate session. otherinbox & yammer as the best ideas in that group, hmm - what else ? what do you think of the overall quality of ideas this year? Also, are they going to publish something like a list of 50-runner-ups , so we can see what else was there ? Best regards from warm & sunny Berlin ;), Moritz Great read - great summary.

In the meantime - the following PDF from TechCrunch gives an overview of all sessions and a brief of the companies presenting: http://www.techcrunch.com/2008/09/08/official-techcrunch50-program-pdf/ P.S.: Most people paid to attend TechCrunch50 - between $2,000 and $3,000 - and only part of the audience got in for free. Therefore they should provide a working WiFi network. According to several people LeWeb in Paris had working WiFi (for over 1,000 attendees) and great food last year (http://www.lewebparis.com/). “Mobile” is Session 7 tomorrow afternoon - I will cover in in my summary.

But what about the mobile startups - was there anything interesting? Btw. when I attended a conference in NY there also was no wifi for the audience - you had teh chance to pay for it there for nearly $500 a day - maybe thats a new business mopdel - selling wifi access at conferences :-) PS: The E71 from Nokia is sold out (not everywhere but in Saturn and Media Markt) - so Nokia doesnt need that "Hype" for selling their phones :-) Very Good wrap up of the first day for people who not attending the conference.
