You are right that Animoto was the only one to step into the tech side, but I think the idea is with 5 minutes to show a demo, and then the second meetup hour is to meet the demo'er and ask the questions about the tech, biz, etc.</p><p>iminlikewithyou might have been the worst presentation of the evening in my opinion. Not only did he bring some "toy" for what reason I don't know, I walked away from it having NO idea what it does. Plus the demo was pre-recorded. I guess showing some pictures of women in bikinis and tight tshirts makes up for lack of ability to explain what a product does.</p> I think you raise some interesting points.

The bookswim guys didn't even bring a demo, they brought a keynote presentation. And it wasn't even tech guys giving the presentation. I'm glad they got cut off. I'm tired of NY Tech Meetups, there isn't anything tech about it. Most of the presenters are business guys in khaki's. At least, Animoto talked about the tech behind it and iilwy was presenting an interesting full flash interface and not a bunch of buzzword speak BS.
