Come to PubCamp in Sydney and Melbourne and share some of the experiences from Web 2.0 Expo back in Oz
Inspired by all the great information and atmosphere at Web 2.0 Expo, we're hosting a free event in Sydney and Melbourne for Australians. Part of the aim is for interested Australian web 2.0-ers to share some of the ideas and excitement that came ...

Failure Happens: What Broke Since Last Year (and What We Learned from It)
Thanks for the reviews.
Due to Jesse being sick I had to rejig the slide deck at the last moment. Sorry about that :(

Maximizing Ad Revenue Through Format Optimization
Good stuff.. the room was packed and everyone was taking notes - where are they now to get this reviewed :)
The Next Generation of Tagging: Searching and Discovering a Better User Experience
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.
What CurrentTV Knows About Viewers
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.
Web 2.0 Product Management: Optimizing Metrics and Viral Growth
Hugely insightful - covered a huge breadth of topic in a short time but all of it useful
Welcome and Morning Keynotes
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!

Living with the Internet: Experiencing the Digital Revolution from a Latino Perspective
I very much enjoyed when someone in the audience asked Madeiro: "so you basicly run your business like a sweatshop?" and he said: yes.
Web 2.0 Workflow
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.
Dan Lyons, aka Fake Steve Jobs
It was like good stand-up for techies. Amazing.
Here Comes Everybody
I was highly impressed. Whether it was the "best" talk or not is difficult to say, but it was the most fun and engaging.
Get Mesh!
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.
Living with the Internet: Experiencing the Digital Revolution from a Latino Perspective
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.
Here Comes Everybody
Clay continues to live up to my high expectations, as both the most thoughtful and the most quotable of all technology pundits.
Get Mesh!
I wasn't so into 'watch our ad' as the crux of the presentation, I can catch ads on TV at home!
Ignite SF
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 :)
A Flickr Approach to Making Sense of the World
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.
Polite, Pertinent, and... Pretty: Designing for the New-wave of Personal Informatics
spacetime! win!
Designing for a Web of Data
Yay for Tom! However, this talk is perhaps getting a long in the tooth and in need of a larger overhaul? Particularly with the more interesting social significance (covered better in the Personal Informatics session) and with the seismic technological trends on the near-izon (the O-everything).
Social Data: Collecting, Mining, and Using it in Your Applications
My complaint is the same that I have for the book. A good enough overview of basic algorithms, but a distinct lack of interesting applications or any coverage of which attributes to analyze to return valuable insights.
Next-generation Mobile UI
I've been burned by lack of depth of other "next gen mobile" presos at recent conferences, so pleasantly surprised by actual depth and useful information tying together academic research and practical application in product. Congrats (and yes, a deck would be great).
