Jeff, happy to see you made it here to read the article. I hope to attend many more breakfasts of yours in the future. When you get that Facebook limit worked out, you know whose invitation to accept first. Thanks for everything you do!

Thanks for the great coverage of the event and the very kind words. It was fun to be part of the event and I thought it was cool that I was treated as an Israeli since I was part of the “local” judges. Felt great to be in that seat.

I believe we should do everything we can to encourage people to follow their passion and make their dreams come true. Just because someone doesn’t agree with what is being presented to them doesn’t make them right or wrong. Many times in our history, true genius is not appreciated until it is too late.

I appreciate the invitation to be part of the event and was humbled by the number of people who came forward and joined the breakfast before techonomy.

I’m working on the 5,000 friend limit on Facebook.

Chag Sameach!

Jeff

Hillel,

Excellent post! I only stayed at Techonomy since I came to see Jeff – and was surprised at how much I enjoyed myself. (and the explanation why my name is not on the twitter list) .

Anyway. good job. Do you know that Gil from Face.com has Israeli parents and grew up in Israel?? When I asked him about his American accent, he said it was from watching TV. ha.
