Fresh from the New Year and STIRR’s 120 Startup Winter Wonderland Holiday party, STIRR starts the year with a packed house at Illusions in Palo Alto. There were three firsts that happened: first is our pleasure to work with SUN Microsystems as the sole sponsor for the event (Sun has STIRR’s Mixer booked exclusively until April). The second is our ‘Audience Choice Award’ which the crowd chooses the winning 60 Second Spot. And last but not least we’ve started experimenting with letting the presenters use slides on stage.
Guest Host, Bambi Francisco, CBS Marketwatch and Vator.tv
Audience Choice Award and Raffle:

A new feature at the main event. The audience selects one lucky presenter to win a SUN x2200 M2 Server. How do we measure the response? STIRR’s new trusty portable DB Meter.
This month’s Audience Choice Award went to 
, by a whole 5 db on the meter. Congratulations Vizu! (And a double congratulations on raising a successful round of financing).
The only downside of using a portable db-meter approach is that we don’t have visual feedback on the display screen for everyone to see while they’re whooping it up. We’re noodling on it, but if anyone has some experience with data capture equipment and display tools, please contact us.
