Web 2.0: Day One

I’m disappointed about missing Web 2.0 but one thing is certain — there’s no lack of verbiage coming out of the Hotel Argent and its environs. Just a few of the links:

Conference coverage page | del.icio.us | Technorati | Wiki

– Jeff Jarvis on tagging and Barry Diller, who he says is still Web 1.0.

– Dan Farber refrains from defining a Web 2.0 product but scouts out the services debuting at Web 2.0 the conference.

– Red Herring reports that “web ads should be smarter.” From Google’s Matt Cutts: “There’s a ton of room left for experimentation. If someone comes up with something better than AdSense and kills it, the world will be a better place.”

– Jeff Clavier checks out the VC panel. (There’s a surprise.) One takeaway: “If you don’t need the money, then don’t bother with VCs.” Fred Wilson’s version: “If you don’t need money, and you take it, you should be shot.”

– WSFinder Blog has detailed notes from throughout the day. One quote from Diller : “Absolutely we’ll get involved in creating, financing, producing products in movie or video type form. We all know that everything will end up digital. The idea of being distribution agnostic is very interesting.”

– Dion Hinchcliffe offers The Vicarious Web 2.0 Conference: Day One He’s not there either but he’s determined not to miss anything.

– JD Lasica takes us along to Mashups 2.0, the Web services kind sometimes produced sans permission. Masher Paul Rademacher has good advice — “If you’re going to try this at home, Rademacher said, keep in mind that it’s one thing to create a mash-up if you’re doing it as a public service, with no attempt to appropriate the data. It’s quite another to begin collecting ad revenues built on other people’s data.”
