TechCrunch 50 Conference – 2008

TC 50 Conference which was held at the begining of this week in SF was streaming live broadcast on Ustream.Tv this year and thanks to time zone differences with US, I was able to watch almost all the sessions live. To be honest, I have to admit that I am not satisfied with the startup presentations ( easy to say :) ) at all.  Most of them were kinda hybrid of other existing services and the rest didn’t have any wow effect on me neither. Maybe its just because of the “perception=actual-expectation” rule which leads a negative perception due to very high expectations on that particular case .  I liked one of them though :) Swype which is a text input technology is pretty cool. The panels were more than great; they had such a valuable content for potential/present entrepreneurs. The panel called “The Role of Angel Investor” and “Youth and Culture” session on which Marissa Mayer from Google was one of the expert panelists, are strongly recommended!
