Not quite as amazing as experiencing it live, but still pretty damn amazing. As close as you can get to an orgasm-inducing presentation about big data.

[kris416]

offensive? really? I think you're a tad sensitive, sir. Sounded like a good portion of the crowd appreciated his presentation style rather than being mundane. Plus he is able to get the point across.

As soon as he mentioned Jesus, I stopped the video. Jesus or any other religious crap just does not fit this type of presentations. People want to learn something, not to be brainwashed even though it was not probably an intention.

[Omkar Mishra]

Brilliant..:)

[ajayparihar000]

Amazing presentation.

Thanks Avinash.

[Dan Overholt]

I found the topic to be very interesting, but the presentation is peppered with offensive religious comments and off-color political digs. Sorry, sir NOT funny.

[Mike Mayer]

This sounds amazing. Is this a free feature in GA?

[Hammad Khalid]

Informative -- and terrifying.

[Ravi Trivedi]

Got it. May be his delivery isn't the best. But, he is the guru in web analytics and does a great job in explaining analytics and complex examples. Check out his blog - if you have interest in the area.

nothing to do about race or even his indian accent. his speech flipflops between high and low tone repeatedly with a lot of animation - almost like an infomercial.
