Maybe 1,000 people in the audience for my seven-minute presentation here at ETech. I was on stage as part of Amazon.com CTO’s Werner Vogel’s keynote session. Staring into the bright lights and seeing the usual sea of laptops, I found myself wondering what was on the back channel. Here’s the log from the chat room during those few minutes.
