As previously mentioned, MindTouch was recently exhibiting at the Web 2.0 Expo where I was interviewed by the local news station KRON Channel 4.

Excuse my appearance. I’m usually dressed a little better (no hat) and I’m typically a lot more enthusiastic, but I was teetering on the brink of complete collapse from a Flu that I picked up at the show (Flu 2.0). I’m just now beginning to recover.

In general, the Expo was fantastic for MindTouch. We had many customers and even more users stop by our booth, or just give a shout out as they walked by–”I’m a user! Love it!” true story. Moreover, we’ve already added a couple new customers and there are many other companies sure to convert as a result of the show . The MindTouch booth was constantly mobbed with traffic to the point that the four of us in the booth couldn’t even keep up with the volume. It’s clear we need a bigger booth next year. By the end of Expo Day One we had to have more business cards and schwag overnight mailed to us from our office in San Diego. To give you some idea of how many people we spoke with, we burned through more than 400 business cards in the first 3.5 hours of the first day!

One final note, to all of you whom I infected with Flu 2.0, which I too caught at the show, I’m sorry. It wasn’t until Wednesday night I even knew I had it at which time I was very careful not to shake hands with anyone.
