I agree. Dash is promising, but too expensive. BuzzLogic is extremely appealing and I’m trying to get into their BETA round. RingCube is a definite life saver and that was a cool demo. SportStat was also very cool – very slick. There were other worthwhile companies from day 1 too. But the fake <a href="http://www.briansolis.com/2006/09/demofall-2006-thats-wrap.html" rel="nofollow">Bono</a>didn’t make the highlights?</p> Hey Liz…good post game show. I agree.

Thanks for mentioning Presto! I hope I’m interpreting your post correctly, but it sounds like you had the same reaction to Presto that just about everybody who sees it has: “Wow! I’m online, so Presto’s solving a problem I don’t have, but I know a lot of people who would love this solution.”

Presto is solving an extremely common problem: Helping people who are not online stay connected to the digital content their family and friends enjoy and share over email every day. After all, 65MM Americans are not online… and the rate of getting online has been very flat among the 60+ demographic for the last 5 years.

Let’s face it — there are tens of millions of consumers who are just not going to get up the learning curve to get online. These people very often fall out of touch with their online family and friends — and feel isolated.

Presto is helping these people reconnect — without the need for a computer or Internet connection. We’re serving a very under-served population — one that most technology companies simply pass over.

Thanks again for you coverage of Presto!

You get 3 free cranks, you should try it out and see if it’s still boring to you.
