This video was presented by Salesforce’s Sean Alpert on 2011-04-25, and I’ve strived to apply its insights ever since.

  • It streams really badly. Download the file and then watch it locally for much better results
  • Imo the bottom line is “think about your audience, and how to best convey a message to them (hint: you’re probably overloading your slides)”
    • If ya gotta have rules, you could do worse than something like this, but I love Alpert’s emphasis away from rules
    • Recording is choppy 😞. If you know the cleanest way of converting an WebEx ARF file into something that plays well over the internet, contact me
