ETech 2006: Shiny Happy backchannel
Backchannel backlash is swift and merciless. When Plum.com's Hans Peter played a loud REM track behind his ETech 2006 presentation, the IRC peanut gallery roasted him as he spoke.
dotBen: he's missed the idea of creating a position emotion when you're trying to sell a product. We're all feeling miffed listening to REM
seanbonner: Do we have any RIAA people here? Can someone sue him for this?
TomCoates: doot doot doot doot
TomCoates: doot doot doot doot
h8ianxpress: is that Freedom rock? well, turn it up!
TantekC: i'm not shiny nor happy right now.
***TomCoates waves his cigarette lighter
danhon: would it distract him if we started singing along?
mathowie: REM is trying to play him off, Oscars style
bigtank: making people happy is easy. making them shiny AND happy is a pain in the ass
