Last year, I was writing for a publication that covered both the DEMO and the TechCrunch50 conferences. At each, half a hundred startups or more launch, and covering them is a hectic affair — very often the best end up slipping through the cracks when you’re presented with so much information so fast. And it always felt like, out of necessity, many of the reviews we wrote of the startups launching at those events were half-assed — we were more concerned with covering as much as possible as we were with writing quality critiques of the startups launching. And that wasn’t really our fault: there were just too many startups coming down the pipeline at once.

去年，我正在为涵盖DEMO和TechCrunch50会议的出版物撰写文章。 在每家中，有半百多家或更多的初创公司成立，而要掩盖它们是一件忙事-通常，当您收到如此多的信息时，最好的最终结果就是从裂缝中溜走。 总是觉得，由于必要，我们对在这些活动中启动的初创公司所做的许多评论都是半信半疑-我们更关心尽可能覆盖报道初创公司的质量，而对我们的评论则不多。 那并不是我们真正的错：有太多的初创公司一下子就停产了。

This year, TechCrunch founder Mike Arrington’s personal vendetta against DEMO, which he calls payola, led him to schedule his conference at the same time as the other. The result is even more information overload for journalists and bloggers. Not 50 companies launching in 2 or 3 days, but over 100.

今年，TechCrunch创始人迈克·阿灵顿(Mike Arrington)针对DEMO的私人仇恨(他称为Payola)使他与其他人同时安排了会议。 结果是，新闻工作者和博客作者的信息过载更为严重。 在2到3天内，没有50家公司成立，但超过100家。

I made the decision this year to step back and not try to cover every single startup coming out of DEMO and TC50. Instead, I’ll keep an eye on what’s being launched there and I’ll pick out anything extraordinary for a closer look later. From my more outside view, I’ve noticed something: the conferences don’t seem to be generating that much press for the startups presenting at them.

我今年做出的决定是退后一步，而不是尝试涵盖DEMO和TC50出产的每家初创公司。 取而代之的是，我将密切关注那里发布的内容，并挑选出任何非凡之处，以供日后仔细查看。 从我的外部观点来看，我注意到了一些事情：会议似乎并没有为初创企业带来太多的压力。

Take a look at the front page of Techmeme from 5:00 PM EST today: http://www.techmeme.com/080908/h1700

The TC50 conference has just 2 headlines, and only one is specific to a startup. The first headline comes five stories down the page. DEMOfall has just one headline on that page, that I can see.

TC50会议只有两个头条新闻，只有一个专门针对初创公司。 第一个标题是页面下的五个故事。 我可以看到DEMOfall在该页面上只有一个标题。

Now look at Techmeme’s front page from 5:00 PM EST on the first day of TC50 last year: http://www.techmeme.com/070917/h1700

现在，从TC50去年第一天的美国东部标准时间下午5:00开始看一下Techmeme的首页： http : //www.techmeme.com/070917/h1700

There were 7 headlines related to the conference, including the second and third stories on the page. (DEMOfall’s first day last year was overshadowed by rumors of the Microsoft investment in Facebook, and Amazon’s launch of their MP3 store.)

有7个与会议相关的标题，包括页面上的第二个和第三个故事。 (去年DEMOfall的第一天被微软对Facebook的投资以及亚马逊推出其MP3商店的传言所笼罩。)

Search volume is also down according to Google trends for TechCrunch50 this year, and has been declining for Demofall the last couple of years.

根据Google今年TechCrunch50的趋势 ，搜索量也有所下降，并且在最近几年中Demofall一直在下降 。

So, press coverage and interest has seemed to dip this year. That is perhaps due to there being twice as many startups to cover; many journalists are probably opting to be more picky about where they place their attention.

因此，今年的新闻报道和兴趣似乎有所下降。 这可能是因为有多家初创公司要覆盖的数量； 许多记者可能会选择对他们关注的地方更加挑剔。

So what’s the point of DEMO and TC50 if the press coverage isn’t there? The answer is that both are platforms to pitch directly to investors, advisors, and potential acquirers — all of whom attend both. CrunchBase has a page that keeps tabs on the companies that presented last year, and the majority have since raised considerable funding, while two have been acquired (most notably NLP search engine Powerset, which was bought by Microsoft last spring).

那么，如果没有媒体报道，那么DEMO和TC50有什么意义呢？ 答案是两者都是直接向投资者，顾问和潜在收购者推销的平台，所有这些人都参与其中。 CrunchBase的页面跟踪着去年介绍的公司，此后大多数公司已筹集了可观的资金，而两家公司已被收购(最著名的是NLP搜索引擎Powerset，该公司于去年春天被Microsoft收购了)。

When you factor in cost to attend for startups, since neither seem to drive a ton of press anymore, TechCrunch50 (which is free for startups) starts to sound like the better deal. But only if you’re looking for funding. Neither seem like they’ll be any better at acquiring users than any other time you could pick to launch (and might be worse, given the increased levels of startup noise during the events).

当您考虑参加初创公司的成本时，由于似乎两者都没有吸引更多新闻，因此TechCrunch50(对于初创公司是免费的)听起来似乎是更好的选择。 但仅当您正在寻找资金时。 似乎他们在获取用户方面都不会比您选择启动的其他时间更好(并且可能会更糟，因为事件期间启动噪音的水平越来越高)。
