I visited each website from the list of Demo finalists.Boy, do they suck. Really, really suck.Does no one understand how to market themselves?It’s amazing to me that not a single Demo website has learned from the lessons of Gary Vaynerchuk’s Winelibrary.tv. Now THAT is a Website that knows how to market! (Interesting that Gary runs a wine store that sells $50 million a year, yet no one looks at his style as a great way to market your service/product yet).

I enjoyed Scoble's post about presentation. The first thing your customer uses is his EYES to see your product. The next thing is functionality, oh, I meant how easy it is to test or demo your product. Who doesn't know this? Your website is a great way for you to promote yourself to the world. Aren't you a tech related company? Then why don't you look like it? If the people willing to promote you complains, what do you think the people you really care about will do? Click, click click...Do you hear that? It's the sound of a potential customer going back to www.google.com and spending their hard earned money somewhere else.

And Scoble's harsh tone and LISTING each terribly promoted company? Yeah, it's called the real world, maybe you should visit there sometime...

Now I'm mad. These people hired college grads to work for them right? To give them the edge needed to be succesful in this Online world?

OK, maybe they truly are start-ups with just a dream and one product. Welcome to primetime guys, where nothing is held back and nothing is given to you easily. If you want to "take" what market share you are in, Be more agressive, tough and please most of all, PRESENTABLE!
