Besides the odd keynote, Burt’s been pretty quiet since the Techcrunch50 presentation, specially considering the time since Techcrunch50 has actually been quite astounding in terms of sales and product development. We’ve also tweaked the concept and product portofolio based on feedback from our advisory board, consisting of some of the world’s greatest advertising entrepreneurs and creatives.
So we know our pitch makes sense for the ad people, but what about the techies? Well, today Burt is presenting another beauty contest for startups so in a couple of hours I guess we’ll know 
This time it’s Plugg in Brussels, spearheaded by the extremely friendly Robin Wauters of TechCrunch. So far, the impression is that Plugg is more relaxed and cozy, but it might just be that I’m a tad more comfortable on this side of the pond
Plugg is pretty scary, they give you a 2 minute slot, and 3 companies (of 20 total) are invited to present another 10 minutes the afternoon. It’ll be interesting to see how the pitch for Burt lands. Our business relies on the assumption that techies and ad men have a communication problem so talking about the Internet from the perspective of an ad man at a tech conference obviously poses a challenge.
I’ll put up my slides after the pitch. Wish me luck!
