We had a blast at last night's TechFlash Live, despite the fact that the TechFlash team was skunked in ping pong by Madrona Venture Group's Greg Gottesman. (We will be practicing up for this summer's big tourney, so watch out). Defending champ Valeri Kim of Akvelon was on hand -- playing with a paddle the size of a donut -- as was runner-up Minh Le of Silicon Valley Bank -- sweating up a storm as usual.
Of course, the highlight of the night was the insightful panel discussion on the future of online advertising and how to make money on the Web. Our experts panelists of Madrona Venture Group's Brian McAndrews, AdReady's Aaron Finn, Microsoft's Jeff Lanctot and msnbc.com's Charlie Tillinghast touched on a number of topics from mobile to video to hyperlocal news sites. We'll have more on what was said later this morning. But first here's a photo gallery of last night's activities. Thanks to everyone for coming out.
