I agree with you in the sense that most people at the kind of events this guy talks about are doing web-apps/social media of some sort.
He needs to go to some of the more tech-based events where people are genuinely innovating.

This meet used to be packed with techies and social media types, but recently the latter have seemed to tailed off - a few are left but seem to have a few genuinely good ideas.
I have noticed however the angel investor types aren't showing up as much but certainly there also seems to be plenty innovation funding going around within the Uni and organisations like NESTA, 4IP and EPIS.
