I found myself checking the website, the ning website, and reading up on personal profiles. I have worked with several people that were involved in the event and considered signing up myself. I will definitely be involved next time. I liked the theme and I found it very interesting to follow this weekend.

Also it was very easy to setup and to customize! I should know, I'm the Technical Director for the event. It worked so well that I plan to use it elsewhere.

It would have been nice to get more people contributing, but (a) the password emails weren't being sent for new registrations, and (b) everyone was too buy, even for a short sentence. We had the feed plugged into <a href="http://twitter.com/btownstartup" rel="nofollow">our twitter account</a> to allow people without Twitter to broadcast to that channel as a group, and to allow people to follow along via tweet streams instead of coming to the site. It didn't work out as well as planned. Our choice of Twitterfeed forced premature truncations and links back to the site. A very promising test, though. Thanks for the theme.
