Noah Kagen spoke at the Startup Epicenter workshop today. Noah is a marketing/promotions genius. Although I am not an authority on Facebook, I am going to guess that Noah is one of the few former Facebook employees. This hypotheses is based on the fact that Facebook hasn't been around for long, and isn't doing too shabby. Yes, he choose to leave.Noah, who is 25 years old, proudly announced that he has a new gig at MyMint and has finally moved out of his mother's house (I couldn't tell if he was serious about that or not).
This is my first time seeing Noah speak, but I have seen Guy Kawasaki speak a few times. In fact Noah and Guy are friends. The best way I could describe Noah is that he is the young, Jewish version of Guy (not sure if he or Guy would take offense to this comparison).
Noah demonstrated a very interesting 2-D analytical tool by CrazyEgg. CrazyEgg allows you to see exactly where people are clicking on a page. www.crazyegg.com. This is an awesome tool for usability research. Definitely something that GetQuik could benefit from.
I expect folks in Silicon Valley will be hearing and talking about Noah for some time to come. I thought there was only one Guy (Kawasaki), but now I am not so sure. Noah's personal blog is www.OKDork.com.

Fyi,
I consider myself Jewish because I cut my teeth in the jewelry business in Los Angeles.
