As a DEMO presenter, I expected our video to be posted on the web immediately. It took about a week, which seemed like a year.
I've watched our video once. And I've watched a handful of others. What surprises me is how the videos fail to capture the experience of being there.
The YackPack video ends about 15 seconds too soon. Not sure why. It misses our wrap up message. In any event, I'm just glad to have the video posted, if nothing else so my parents can see it. No one else has mentioned it before (As you imply, nobody really knows these videos are posted.)
The best presentation of the show, in my view, was Video Egg. The presenter had superb stage presence.

The network died at the start of my presentation, so I was up there with about 40% of my demo examples gone. Lesson learned, cache your pages, and don't rely on othre people's technology.

But Buzz . . . . even though the network went out (arg!), you did a superb job of making your demo work. Most people didn't even realize you were improvising. That's grace under pressure. .

I have to agree with BJ. As a watcher, it only seemed like a "happens at all conferences" problem. Probably was. But I guess it's better not to happen than to.
I also have to agree that the VideoEgg presentation wasn't bad. The planning that went into it was superb. But I am a bit skeptical about the idea of demo. I think it's being cliched. Some companies that have launched there (or at another launchpad) have boomed, while others are just 'one of them'. I guess it's a way to get the message out to the media, etc though.
