“ first one. didn't know what to expect. interesting speakers/topics. will attend another. ”

“ Wish the projector was working. I liked rate my student rental the best. This would've definitely been useful when I was in school because I definitely had some slum lords and pictures to prove it. Noteworks reminded me a lot of tracker programs used in making electronic music (http://www.buzzma...). I didn't get to ask if it was similar or if they had ever seen or used a tracker program, which might be hard to compete if they are looking to sell the product because there are many of there free tracker programs out there. As for the mobile presenters, I kept asking about Android. Android isn't just a mobile phone like the iPhone, it is a platform that will allow you to deploy across multi platforms (mobile devices, netbooks, and soon in Ubuntu Linux). It also already sync's with the cloud with google gears and can do multitasking which the iPhone can not do (unless jailbroken I believe). I enjoyed Dug Song's talk as well. ”

“ Too bad that the bulb was burned out. ”

“ Argh, blown projector bulb forced us to go completely analog. Kudos to all the presenters who did great with their extemporaneous pitches, and apologies to the group for my rambling soliloquy - I'll post the slides I would have presented soon. Thanks to the mid-Michigan crew from BlueWater Angels and Innova8.com for making the drive down, and to CFE for the refreshments. ”

“ Nice to see some of the other local startups talking about their projects. ”

“ Very interesting tech projects. We need to get these off the ground so AA and Michigan will be a tech center. ”

“ All of the presenters did great jobs conveying their enterprises succinctly yet clearly, and I thought each idea was very cool and something to learn more about. I think Noteworks was my favorite of the 5 presentations, but I very much enjoyed the others as well. ”
