I was disappointed in the Web 2.0 conference too -- it felt super slimy to me, too many card sharks walking around. Hey, I put up a Flash video version of the speech I gave here if you are interested: http://video.yahoo.com/video/play?vid=427145 Cheers, Brad Dion, very cool embedded feed reader you created (a few blog posts up).

Stone Sun, 22 Apr 2007 19:28:10 +0000 http://almaer.com/blog2/web-20-expo-was-poor#comment-37217 I felt the same way about the Web2.0 conference -- a bit disappointing. Since I'm a developer as well, I was really hoping for some meat in the presentations rather than glittering generalities (or a sales pitch). The other surprise for me, which is similar to what you commented on, was the community roundtable, which was a very interesting, yet informal, cross-functional discussion - it was probably the most enjoyable part of the show. I was also glad to meet some of the folks from the Adobe Flex/Apollo team. I felt the same way about the Web2.0 conference — a bit disappointing.
