Web 2.0

The Internet boomlet is here! This week I’ve been attending Web 2.0 in San Francisco. This conference is totally jampacked with sessions and people! There’s obviously a tremendous amount of interest all things Internet again. And there’s clearly a tremendous amount of possibility and creativity emerging. The Web 2.0 conference covers a lot of ground, including Rich Internet Applications (RIA) using Ajax or Flash, new ideas in search, mash ups, open source, video games, online music, and online advertising, etc. A lot of really great demos are being shown. Some of the speakers are real characters including Barry Diller, president of IACI, John Battle, journalist who is like the MC of the conference, Reed Hastings, the president of Netflix, and even Mickey Hart from the Grateful Dead! I recorded some of their talks and will post later.
