    Nice talk, er... Nobooby. I can see why you didn't leave your real
    name. But did you really mean to use "nobooby" or were you trying to
    type "nobody" and just couldn't manage it?

    I read the DEMO bitchmeme this morning, then I read the TechCrunch words(Google Reader in reverse order) and then shrugged, this teapot will settle down.

    They don't pay the money for the pitch. I asked Stewart Alsop, the founder of Demo, to explain, and he does at the end of my post.

    Regardless, DEMO charges $18,500 for something -- I'm not sure what.

    Agreed all round. Isn't there or shouldn't there be some place for *both* "high end" showcases like DEMO (which claims to give companies huge spotlight, state-of-the-art ways to present etc.) and more "grassroots" forums like TechCrunch50?

    Note I use quotes on both because I've not been to either event. But it seems to me that different kinds of venues that have different participants, different cultures, different modes of discussion, and so on can only be a good thing.
