Lamps would burn out, slides would stick, and sometimes the carousel would drop and all the slides would fall out? Life never changes, except our challenges take on new faces. Tom, you talk was great and your tech hiccup was just that, a hiccup.  Remember the days when we had REAL slides?

But I wonder how it would benchmark against exposure to other brands e.g. 44% of Americans might claim to see a Ford Fiesta or a Hershey's Kiss or a reference to Lady Gaga nearly every day. But I suppose I am comparing Twitter to these brands proves your point about it being big! Of course, it is a high figure Twitter should be proud of.

But if you weren't shocked by the fact that 44% of Americans 12+ claim seeing tweets *nearly every day,* then you're a smarter man than I. :) What other brands can claim that?

As Mark said, you handled the situation with amazing confidence and grace. As a speaker myself, I learned a ton from you ... from my perspective, you didn't miss a beat despite the technical challenge. It was one of the best presentations I've had the privilege of listening too. Hope you present at Social Slam 2013 ... would love to see what you speech is like when the technology cooperates. You've set a high standard for yourself! Hey Tom,

As others have said, it's one of the many things that make you such an incredible speaker. Your preparation and poise is unmatched.
