Presented by Fernando Madeira (Terra). There is a new revolution in Latin America. The region is emerging as a bellwether player for internet trends. See how the Latinos are creating a new media environment and reshaping the society.
pola oloixarac: I very much enjoyed when someone in the audience asked Madeiro: "so you basicly run your business like a sweatshop?" and he said: yes.
Fernando: 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.
Vinesha: I very much enjoyed this session.

O'Reilly interrupted Jonathan Schwartz numerous times. It came across to me that he (O'Reilly's) thought his views were more important than Schwartz.
Tommy Merry: Yes, it did seem that way at times. Perhaps O'Reilly was more focused on the questions on his pad of paper, than the great responses that Jonathan was giving. I can't help being a big Schwartz fan, he's one inspirational character!

Hillary Hartley: This has been said about most of the successful sessions, but it also applies here: great info, but 50 minutes was way too short. They presented an excellent high-level overview of their process, but I wanted more!

Presented by Alex Bard (AOL - Goowy Media), Tariq Krim (NetVibes), Hooman Radfar (Clearspring Technologies, Inc.), Gary Benitt (AOL - Goowy Media), Rooly Eliezerov (Gigya Inc.), Ganesh Sivaraman (Nokia, Inc.). Widgets are portable bits of code tha...... [session page]
Clara Kuo: I would have liked to hear more from Ganesh about what Nokia is doing to make widgets more accessible from a mobile standpoint. Also Tariq, hope to connect with you or one of the software developers working in the widget arena to learn more about the the NV universal widget API or what kind of coding goes into that!
Jacques Brisson: Interesting talk from people that really have experience from the trenches. I discovered Hooman last year, still is solid this year. Is Tariq from France (I mean... the accent...) ?

Responses to the session: Casual Privacy
Presented by Kellan Elliott-McCrea (Flickr). Casual Privacy is a design pattern for sharing semi-private information that maps to how secrets are shared in real social networks, and that people will actually use. Casual Privacy plays nicely with w...... [session page]
Leanne Waldal: the content was great; kellan constantly referring to lost graphics to remind audience that we're missing something -- that was distracting -- i wish he'd just gone to the web to demonstrate what he was describing with words and text. still it was one of the most interesting sessions.
Tim Bishop: Kellan rocked. It was worth attending the talk for the funny asides alone, but the ideas presented were extremely interesting as well.

Responses to the session: Disney.com
Presented by Eric Freeman (Disney Online), Jason Davis (Disney Online). This talk will showcase the Web 2.0 themes across several new products including the new Disney.com, Disney Fairies, and the new Family.com.
Wayne Smith: Jason wasn't a pep rally leader, but it was a decent run thru their new site. Interesting view into a social site for moms and another for 6-11 year-olds. Hoping for a little more behind-the-scenes and less feature demo, but I liked it anyway.

It will be interesting to see the lifespan of this social network. I have seen it ramp up slowly, steadily the month before the conference. In the last week before, it added members with a renewed vigor. I was continually surprised how many people joined as the conference progressed. Now that the show is over, and the lights have been turned out (well, almost), who's going to stick around?

What makes Web 2.0 companies different? It’s all about the people. Web 2.0 companies and their technologies lower the barrier to membership, empower and engage community members, and develop a two-way communication channel between the community ...... [session page]
Hillary Hartley: I thought the mix on the panel was fine, but thought that you could've gotten more out of the panelists with better questions and tighter moderation.
Kingsley Joseph: Thanks for the feedback Judy. We wanted to represent a mix of organizations so that we could cross pollinate the discussion more effectively.
Judy Fightmaster: It was good to hear from the real world - although Kiva and Dell seemed a little more 'real' and I would prefer to have more business examples in industries not so closely connected with Web 2.0 as Yahoo! and Flickr. The ideas expressed during the last 5 or 10 minutes about what actions most encourage participation were the most helpful.

Petr Dousa: Interesting look at how web evolves. I haven't thought that non-standard stuff is the innovation driving force.
Matt Brohammer: Not exactly code-heavy, but that's not needed for the last session of the last day. Very engaging presenter trying to wrap heads around the jumbled toybox of js libraries. Not so much about what to do specifically rather than which thing to pick up and use.
ccruz: Very disappointing session. Despite the opening disclaimer that there would be no code reviewed, the title suggests hands-on, in-depth code discussion/review and that's what I was hoping for. Also, Brian speaks very, very fast! I did like hearing about future standards possibilities (CSS Object Model, etc.)
