Hennie de Villiers 14 Years Ago Hey Joshua... How to un-curb your enthusiasm... install a competitive product... then try to use it... then try to buy it... then try to support it... then give it up... then go and thank the Bry(i)ans & kie for Liferay... and your job... offer to work for food and shelter... then continue to enjoy Life(ray)...

Jonathan Neal 14 Years Ago The Apple Keynote style of enthusiasm isn't for everybody. It's a benefit they've earned from their product and expected demeanor.When the authenticity of the person and the perception of the product are in harmony, you can really build a fan base.TechCrunch's slant is that this series of superlatives makes for good selling, and marketing majors goes crazy for this. "Oh! A pattern I can repeat!" Compile this same Youtube video for Microsoft event during the Vista era and you'll see something remarkably different, waves of critical feedback along the lines of: it's all talk and no walk. And that is definitely to say - I wouldn't judge Microsoft's success by Steve Balmer's enthusiasm (read: seizures) any day. Different audiences want to hear different things.Throw out a double dozen superlatives in a talk and anger developers, but empower users. Throw out a double dozen features in a talk and scare users, but salivate developers.It boils down to --- who is your audience? Please sign in to reply. Reply as...
