Well I meant that he was an entertaining speaker, and kept me interested. The only thing that stands out in my mind that I hadn't really distilled out before was the slide about the half dozen things people will pay for, and how your freemium model has to work around one of those things. But then again, I haven't spent much time thinking about Freemium, so I suppose this wasn't exactly mind-blowing for those that have.

The format doesn't really allow anyone time to go very deep on a topic, so I wasn't expecting anything too rigorous... although Peter Norvig came kind of close last year with his word segmentation problem.

Well, I thought he would bomb hard, I expected heckling — and I was pleasantly surprised that nothing of the sort happened.

I do wish he talked less about the obvious price structure / customer interaction stuff and more about the actual process of shipping such things.
