On: WWDC sold out in ten hours.

[travisjeffery]

The title is just a statement of how long it took to sell out, "WWDC sold out in ten hours." — tell me where the exaggeration is in that sentence.

I feel that the fact that OP mentioned the time, it was supposed to be read as a grand feat, which it wasn't. But if I'm wrong then I'm wrong.

10 hours might not seem like a "grand feat" but if I remember well, last year it took over a week for the tickets to be sold out...

It sure is a grand feat. Could you explain why you think that it isn’t?

In 2009 Google I/O was sold out only after ninety days and Apple’s WWDC was sold out only after more than thirty days. In 2010 both conferences sold out only after a few days.

That both conferences now sell out in substantially less than a day is newsworthy and a grand feat.
