A free debate without the need to register often gives a more lively and sometimes a better debate. Has anybody filmed the "somewhat heated debate", it would be interesting to see it. Best regards Mads Hi Jon

Thanks a lot for answering, good to see some comments coming up on the site. A free debate without the need to register often gives a more lively and sometimes a better debate.

Has anybody filmed the “somewhat heated debate”, it would be interesting to see it.

However you're right, why should that be? (I don't remember why I made that choise when I created the site, I think it's simply a mistake). You're comment is now on! Along with another great comment by "Tora" and "Nanna" with their own photomanipulated feminist comment to DIA 07: http://www.flickr.com/photos/schondelmeier/362452464 Though, apart from that, the dia07.dk website was actually meant to be very open. What you can read it written by the jurymembers, without any form of editing or approval. They've been complete free to write whatever they'd like - only limits were that it should be about online marketing. And they themselves should decide if they were on track. Best Jon Hi Mads,

But the comments are read before final posting, and I experienced that a comment is not always posted! Just at little funny in these web 2.0 sites, for at Internet Award site.

I was at DIA07 as well. You know what? YOU DID A GREAT JOB UP THERE!!!! You gave me something valuable.... as the only speaker. And the only thing I have been thinking after the chocking attack on the scene is to go to your block here, so I can support you. There was NOTHING wrong in your presentation. YOU are right. The opponent might be scared what happens if the people, supporting his projetcs with several xxxx$ suddently find out, that they can get true value for their money? Because he don't go in to that business. There has always been a fight between online and offline marketing. It's not clever, but its there. When I saw the attack on you, I experienced, that there is also a fight between "big budget" marketing people, and us, who have the basic consern, that we want to deliver TRUE VALUE to both the user of the website AND the owner of the website. I think there is a market for both product categories (and all in between), but somebody certantly got frustrated by listening to what the users want. There is a long way for us to educate website owners what it's all about. Best regards, Christian Dear Thomas.

DIA07 Its not for online entrepreneurs, its even not for online marketers. Its for marketers who need insight in online options. That’s why it was disturbing to bee present as a online marketer as I guess the rest of the 400 people felt disturb ...?! Funny that marketing medias as www.markedsforing.dk not even can find their own target group :o> Well back to the market-place. It was a pleasure to see at hear your presentation. good products market themselves. But really bad, to average products need marketing. Thats a fact and thats why we have commercials. Whilst we (people) get commercial blindness – we look out / search for information about products and listen to what other people have to say about the product. That’s viral. Thank you, Thomas Hi Thomas

I must admit that DIA07 sucks bigtime.! It´s made for mediaagencies to mediaagencies which actually has no bad aspects but actually the truth was that their work was awfull.. Thomas ? you was the ONLY guy yesterday that showed some kind of complete web concept(I mean 23HQ). at "danish internet award". I don´t see 23HQ as a product but just as a platform... without any pictures on 23HQ it won´t be great in any way. Anyway my view of internet marketing and concepts is different from the guys at DIA07. I just wanted to check the award winning concept and tried to access: www.blivavisbud.nu but no results...anyway it didn´t work for me... soo I tried Google(which is my best friend on the net). http://www.google.dk/search?hl=da&rls=GGLJ%2CGGLJ%3A2006-33%2CGGLJ%3Aen&q=avisbud&btnG=S%C3%B8g&meta= But actually - I can´t relate any website there with the winner.. Anyway maybe their concept is closed allready or my memory is quite bad. Ps. Thanks for an excelent performance yesterday Thomas. Hi Thomas,
