[Webpub] web 2.0 expo 2007

[Lisa Mayer]

 From our blog, http://webpub.mit.edu

The Web 2.0 Expo out in San Francisco wrapped up yeseterday. Check  
out all the tracks and seminars they had, this thing was HUGE. I’m  
totally putting this conference on my continuing education wish list  
for next year.

It sounds amazing…not only did they have some cool speakers (how  
about Tim O’Reilly and Eric Schmidt for starters?) but also in depth  
workshops (Ruby on Rails, Search Engine Optimization and more) for a  
“first hand opportunity to master the power of Web 2.0 technologies.”  
That’s the way I like to learn, jumping right on in!

Thankfully they are posting some of the speaker presentations online.

The really cool thing about the Expo was how they practiced what they  
preached about living the Web 2.0 life. They had live Twitter  
updates, a conference news blog, livecasting, a wiki, a flickr photo  
gallery, and a social calendar with tag clouds to popular tags and  
speakers. Really interesting to see how the conference world is  
integrating this new web world!
