How to make waves on the web

This presentation is a very good example on how to get a message across to an audience in a very short time.
The ingredients :
- Begin the speech with a little joke to relax the audience
- Rapidly exposing the concept
- And go on with a meaningful illustration
- Finally, conclude with a much more general message (and a bit philosophic !)
Moreover, humour makes the presentation more attractive and creates an interaction with the audience so that he has fun too, and if he has fun...the audience too...

I think this presentation illustrates very well the fact that the web is the best place to create a buzz, which makes that media very powerful and totally uncontrollable (but what's the matter ?).

His objective was a 3 minutes presentation so he had to speak very fast, maybe a bit too fast ?
