Greetings, Gonzo bankers! Just got back from a dazzling few days in San Fran to catch the Finovate Spring 2013 conference, and what a show it was! These vendors come in and sweat through seven minutes to show the world their Big Idea.
Love the fast-paced, BS- and PowerPoint-free format at Finovate. So, I figured if these presenters can show up and tell their story in seven minutes, I can provide you with my thoughts on the show in 140-character-or-less spurts.
That’s right, fair Readers, this will be VendorDirt’s second stab at delivering GonzoBanker via Twitter. And before you non-Tweeters roll your eyes because you think you’ll have to miss my staggering insights, fear not! You don’t have to be a Twitter accountholder to soak in my summary. No, just point your browser here: https://twitter.com/search?q=%23VndrDrtRules&src=hash, then click the “View All Tweets” link and you’ll be all set.
For Twitter users, it’s under #VndrDrtRules.
By the time you read this, there will no doubt be countless comments of praise and adulation from my @VendorDirt followers, but scroll down and you’ll find the meat.
You liking the Twitter format?
