We Media vs. Web 2.0
There are two conferences going on today – We Media and Web 2.0. Both are sold out, have great speakers, and have generated lots of “pre-conference” buzz (whatever that means.)
They are radically difference conferences addressing the same thing from two totally different perspectives. The schedules and the agendas tell the complete story. We Media – all media, all day long – in New York. Web 2.0 – all tech, for a couple of days – in San Francisco.
Ten years later, the bifurcation on the Internet between tech and media seems as big as ever. I wonder which party is going to be more fun (actually, I don’t, but it was a good closing line.)
Nice and truthful last line, really problem when writing blog. Make it more interesting..
So you’re not at either Brad? What the heck?
Actually, I was at WeMedia today (and spoke on a panel – http://www.rklau.com/tins/archives/2005/10/05/wemedia_we_invest.php). I have an early meeting in Boston tomorrow so I headed out at the end of the day. I’m enjoying Web 2.0 vicariously through the power of – well – Web 2.0.
