Hey all - thanks again for coming. For those of you who thought it was too fast, we decided to place everything online including a tutorial for some self paced learning. The URL is http://technoracle.blogspot.com/2008/04/web-20-expo-san-fransisco-materials.html
Yeah, quite crowded but great snacks and drinks :-)
Thanks for the reviews.
Due to Jesse being sick I had to rejig the slide deck at the last moment. Sorry about that :(
I came in late for this one and I sooooo regretted it.. one of the best sessions of the conf.
what a treat. thanks guys !
Good stuff.. the room was packed and everyone was taking notes - where are they now to get this reviewed :)
It makes me think the possibilities of using the tags are infinite, what we need to figure out now is how to monetize it / make it useful, usable and fully automatic. Something tells me GeoTagging could be taken to the next level - and Fireball could put it to work too.
Great idea, this true liberalization of media .... It's just a matter of time there will be no program lineups - well.. we'll make our own, based on our own preferences.. Also - - each one of us will have our own television channel right ? we'll be producers and starts of our own shows.
Hugely insightful - covered a huge breadth of topic in a short time but all of it useful
I found the morning sessions helpful. I also appreciated the timely start. I think you packed a lot into the sessions. I have to say they were some of the most well-attended morning sessions that I've seen. I also learned some new things from each speaker. One thing that would have been helpful. If some bullet points or outline or something had been posted on the large projection screens (some speakers did have video or other visuals to share) it would be helpful, especially for those in the back. Thanks!
You can find Todd's presentation on www.web2expo.com
There is a link - we are uploading presentations as we receive them from the speakers so if it's not there, please check back.
I very much enjoyed when someone in the audience asked Madeiro: "so you basicly run your business like a sweatshop?" and he said: yes.
it was one of the more interesting sessions during the expo as a whole. unfortunately, it was scheduled as the last session on the last day; consequently, a lot of folks missed out on it. she was interesting in different fronts and promised to provide links to books of interest.
It was like good stand-up for techies. Amazing.
I was highly impressed. Whether it was the "best" talk or not is difficult to say, but it was the most fun and engaging.
I feel like the presentation did not do a good job of selling the product/service. I was unimpressed and kind of confused. However, after discussing it at length in the Microsoft booth on Thursday, I realized it actually is a cool technology that has many good uses. It was just a bad presentation.
The data shown was very interesting. Sadly it shows that Latin America is not an appealing market for e - business. Even though the technology is implemented at different levels all around Latin America. The lack of population and the economic differences make the market very difficult.
I still believe that Latin America is growing and many people have business ideas that aim Latino markets and abroad.
I want to thank Fernando for this insight to the Latin American market.
Clay continues to live up to my high expectations, as both the most thoughtful and the most quotable of all technology pundits.
I wasn't so into 'watch our ad' as the crux of the presentation, I can catch ads on TV at home!
I thought, "it's only a few blocks, I'll walk there". Next thing, I'm wandering alone through the Tenderloin at dusk. Oops!
I know, it's a typical SF newbie trap... but hey, not all Web 2.0 Expo attendees are lucky enough to live there :)
As a counterpoint, I'd say that this was probably the best session that I went to at Web 2.0 Expo - certainly hard to follow if you're not familiar with the problem-space (which perhaps could have also been made clearer), but if you are, this stuff is pure gold. Also, true that some of the jokes fell flat, although the "divisive" agglomerative clustering joke was hilarious.
Also, the "space-filling curve 101" bit on the hilbert and morton curves I thought was quite good and probably as clear an explanation as I've heard.
This stuff, while not rocket science, isn't your run of the mill "web development" so I wouldn't expect anyone to get it (or care), just wanted to add a different perspective to the conversation.
spacetime! win!
Best keynote at the conf, by far.
