The Ad:Tech Show Floor
written by John Chow
Here’s a quick video I put together from the Ad:Tech show floor. This will be the first of a bunch of videos I will be posting. I took a ton of footage with the little Flip and I’ll go through them later to figure out what to keep and what to throw away.
The Ad:Tech show floor is quite a bit bigger than the Affiliate Summit show floor. However, it’s still no where remotely close to CES. Many of the exhibitors at Affiliate Summit managed to make it to Ad:Tech. It was also nice to see many fellow bloggers making it to the event. I ran into Ian Fernado, Gyutae Park and many others while touring the floor.

why are you throwing cookies at people?
John may be in his 40s, but he acts like he’s 4. That would explain why he’s unemployable.
If I had his success I would be 4 again too.
If I ‘m like JOhn Chow then I wouldn’t want to be an employee.
It’s true. Sometimes when we go places, you have to scold him like he’s a child.
That’s why he has to blog
Lol there are some parts of your personality one should never loose and that is one part john shouldn’t loose because he won’t be john if he loses that.
It’s not cookies. It’s a mini football.
Then what were the things you were tossing over the display prior to the football? Or were you not really throwing them?
Those were mini footballs. Then I toss a full sized football.
Small mini footballs?
LOL JOHN,
I saw u toss the small football but I can’t believe you tossed the REAL football! lol risk taking entrepreneur, your right on the edge of the stage like the speaker from kodac said lol haha
The girl from offshoring.com was pretty cute. Can you hook me up, John?
Perhaps you can inquire directly with OffShoring.com and say you will only deal with their company through the girl that was at the SF Ad-Tech Show
~Terry
I see Bob.
Pretty cool. Looks like he is having lot of fun throwing other’s stuff.
Any good tid-bits so far? Have you learned any new tricks or gotten any good tips?
Hahaha. Great video John. So, what the Cotton Candy owner did to you after throwing one to the trash. Lol. Hahaha John Chow: The Controversial blogger.
He didn’t throw it in the trash, he dropped it off to the side of a vendor’s display
so let me get this straight…. offshoring.com hires talented individuals from the phillipines, and slaves them off for cheap wages so that rich web entrepeneurs can save a buck… and can get someone else to fire them! wow.
other than that, the show looked pretty cool. would have been interesting.
India does the same sort of thing. I’ve had people ask me to review their site of ‘talented web designers’ who get paid less than $5 per hour. For me pesonally, I like to sit down with a client and go over their website with them. If they were in the Philippines or India, I wouldn’t get that same personal interaction if I was working for someone over seas designing their website.
Nothing wrong with that. If they could get a job with better wages where they’re from, I’m sure they would’ve done so. Since they can’t, they go through companies like that which hook them up with jobs here. Sure, it isn’t exactly fair but it’s work.
This looked fun. I wish I was there! I’m only a few hours away too. bad Terra! BAD!
Looks like you guys are having a good time
I’ll be sure to hang out with you all more at CES hah. Oh BTW, nice shirt hah
Is he wearing OCIA.net shirt?
yup
Thanks for the update John! I like the quick interviews of some of the lesser known companies with unique products. Keep em comin!
John, I trust we will see at least one meal from a swanky restaurant in San Fran?
Expect at least two!
Nice! I expect detailed pictures, descriptions of the meals, and a well-thought and commented review. Fine dining is the way to go, man.
I am expecting to see those videos … I hope you are not ordering two … so you can throw one away at people
He only throws stuff at Pandas (that’s the rumor).
Forget the interviews - try and concentrate more on the comedy! Hurl more stuff. I think throwing some liquids might be in order. If you’re going to do interviews try and stick to “Da Ali-G” type of questions.
Hey John,
Thanks for the interview today, posted over here:

Hey, too bad i missed out on your cookie throwing, I would’ve got threw enough cookies throw us both out of the show…maybe I will try it tomorrow and blame it on you.
Everything looks normal, and I’m watching and watching, normal, normal. Looks like any of the dozens of showbiz convention I used to go to in LA during my acting days THEN BOOM! John starts throwing stuff! Really caught me-and I’m sure somebody else-off guard there buddy.
You need to work on your football form internet guru Chow. The life and time of John Chow.
you thrown cookies or cake ? in the crowd
Offshoring.com looks pretty cool. Kind of like an Elance, but only you hire someone, it sounds like on an ongoing basis.
Lol… John, you thought I was Gyutae,
I just e-mailed Gyutae to meet me today and he said he was not able to make it….
I was wearing Gyutae’s T-shirt. Lol….

So John, where are we having lunch today? I work right across from the Moscone Center
I had lunch at Ad:Tech but I’m going to Michael Mina tonight.
Hey john , are you sure youtube has not blocked you?? Every video you are uploading is giving “this video is no longer available” after 12-24 hours. Is this video also deleted ???
Video is working fine here. Could be a glitch on your end.
dude you are crazy. Throwing things in the air lol.
[...] Tuesday John Chow posted a video on his blog that he shot at Ad:Tech in San Francisco. One of the people he interviewed was a young [...]
What’s with these antics and bursts of jackass like antics? Was it just for the camera? When I walked by you yesterday it seemed like you were as tame as a snail with a dead serious face, wearing a monocle and a bolo tie while relaxing in the rubicon.
I don’t think that was me you walked by. I don’t wear ties at any trade shows.
John I was just joking man. Wow that just blew back up in my face. But you were calm.
