Our vision for Web 2.0 Expo NY looks like this: smart leaders, looking toward the future of the web, gather together in a lively venue to meet, exchange ideas, ?and?get a serious dose of inspiration. You make connections, you learn a lot, you have fun. Here’s what Expo NY looked like… read moreWeb 2.0 Expo Makes the Move to Midtown

The tech scene in NY crackles these days with a growing sense of?community. Our attendees say they’d like the show to reflect and?support that, so we’re shifting to a venue where people can better?connect. Instead of holding Web 2.0 Expo at the Javits Center, we’ll?be at the Sheraton at 51st… read moreWhat's the Secret to Submitting a Great Conference Proposal?
April 06 2010
You may know that we hold Web 2.0 Expo NY in the fall. But here's something that may surprise you: the drop-dead deadline for submitting a proposal is next Monday (April 12). In the past, we've extended the deadline a week, but we don't have time for that this year.… read moreWhat Would Jane Austen Have Twittered?
November 30 2009
After the recent Web 2.0 Expo NY--a sprawling, week-long conference and exhibition--I ducked into the Morgan Library to catch "A Woman's Wit: Jane Austen's Life and Legacy." A one-room show about an 18th century novelist seemed like the perfect antidote to a week of tech talk in the Death Star… read moreWeb2Open: An Exciting Experiment
March 30 2009
As I've written here recently, we've got some amazing sessions scheduled for Web2Open--the free unconference hosted by Web 2.0 Expo in SF this week. One that I'm particularly excited about is a new experiment, "Practice Your Customer Pitch." We're bringing in five startups who will get two minutes each to… read moreWeb2Open: Great Sessions, Recessionary Pricing
March 25 2009
Next week is Web 2.0 Expo in San Francisco, a four-day mind meld for programmers, practitioners and novitiates. The Expo is co-produced by O'Reilly and TechWeb, who, for the third year in a row, are devoting resources and a row of rooms to Web2Open--a free, two-day unconference that anyone can… read moreTwitter Drives Traffic, Sales: A Case Study
February 19 2009
Back in December, Dell reported that offers from its Dell Outlet Twitter account had led to more than $1 million in revenue. A small percentage for a company that books $16B in revenue annually--but a nice number nonetheless, particularly in a dreary economy. Question is: are they the only ones?… read moreEveryone's New Favorite Question About Twitter
February 03 2009
For a while there, you couldn't surf a single drop of the web without smacking into the question, "How will Twitter make money?" Although that question remains unanswered, Internet interest has shifted. Today's favorite question about the micromessaging service is: "Has Twitter has gone mainstream?" Or, somewhat less optimistically, "Will… read moreWhy Does Twitter's Business Model Matter to You?
November 24 2008
That's a real question, not a rhetorical one. In a Radar post I wrote last week about whether Twitter's user base was hitting a critical inflection point, the first comment was, "How does Twitter make money?" Although the post wasn't about Twitter's business model per se, a lot of the… read moreTwitter's Hockey Stick Moment?
November 18 2008
Over the weekend, TechCrunch postulated that with a frenzy of election-related activity, Twitter hit its hockey stick moment in late October. The theory goes that Twitter saw a 25 percent increase in U.S. visits from September to October and is thus about to experience the sort of explosive growth that… read moreNovember 06 2008
If I'm blogging it, is still a tweetup? Either way, we're hosting a little shin dig tonight (Thursday) to celebrate the release of our new report, "Twitter and the Micro-Messaging Revolution: Communication, Connections, and Immediacy--140 Characters at a Time." Join us from 6:30 - 8p at House of Shields, 39… read moreNew Radar Report: Twitter and the Micro-Messaging Revolution
November 05 2008
It would be a stretch to say that Twitter helped Obama win the presidency. But there's no question that the messaging service played an important role in this year's elections. To wit: * Obama signed up early and has by far the most followers of anyone on Twitter. He and… read moreApril 24 2008
During Web2Open yesterday, we ran an experiment that turned out to be a big success. Because it felt like a model that could be extended and used by others--but it hasn't been blogged about widely--I'll explain here what we did. We started with the idea that we wanted to hold… read moreWeb2Open: Announcing Speed Q&A;
April 22 2008
Web2Open, a free unconference within Web 2.0 Expo, starts tomorrow, and we've got a new twist: after some really good speed-dating suggestions from you, we've been inspired to try speed Q&A.; Here's how it's going to work: we'll have 50 minutes, five prominent people and five tables, one each for… read moreSmall Business Hacks at Web2Open
April 10 2008
We've got a cool new development on the Web2Open front: Jen Bekman, Don MacAskill and Bryan Mason will be joining us for "Small Business Hacks," an open discussion moderated by Tony Stubblebine. Particularly neat is that each of them has worked on a Web 2.0 company with a different business… read moreMarch 28 2008
Earlier today, Teresa Nielsen Hayden posted the guidelines she uses for moderating the comments on BoingBoing. Of course, not everyone agrees with her take-no-prisoners approach, and her post has drawn some fire. But whether you're a fan (which I am, big time), there's no question that Teresa's advancing our collective… read moreSeeking Ideas for Conference Speed Dating
March 22 2008
Last week, I came across conference speed dating. I immediately fell in love with the idea and wanted to try it at Web2Open. But I'm not sure how to set it up. Seeing as the Open is a community-based event,... read moreMarch 20 2008
Great news: On April 23 and 24, Web 2.0 Expo in San Francisco will host Web2Open, an unconference that anyone can participate in.

October 20 2007
This afternoon's panel of four Google Alumni ended with an audience question: Was it insane to consider that Google might reach a $1 trillion market cap? (It's now at about $150 $200 billion.) Or might that actually happen? I thought,... read moreWeb2Summit: Make Life More Like games
October 19 2007
Game designer Jane McGonigal’s session this morning had a thought-provoking twist: instead of thinking about how to make virtual reality more like real life, think about making real life more like games. Why? Because games, networked games specifically, work better... read moreWeb2Summit: The Future of Printing
October 18 2007
Yesterday, we talked about HP’s new Web services for printing. Today, Vyomesh Joshi, the company’s Executive Vice President for Imaging and Printing, gave a tantalizing follow-up with his predictions for the future of printing.

October 18 2007
Google’s Jeff Huber gave a 10-minute talk today on widgets—apparently referred to as “gadgets” in Mountain View. His presentation, following Niall Kennedy’s on the same theme, wasn’t flashy, and even if you were in the room, you might have missed... read moreWeb2Summit: eBay Services We'd Like to See
October 18 2007
Tim’s earlier post covered a lot of the highlights from his on- and off-stage conversations with eBay CEO Meg Whitman. But he didn’t touch on one of the most interesting themes of their interview: whether eBay/PayPal’s powerful knowledge about who... read moreWeb2Summit: Google Health--Groundwork Needed?
October 18 2007
This afternoon, Marissa Mayer, Google’s Vice President for Search Products & User Experience, gave a brief, unsubstantial presentation on health information, which—no surprise—Google wants to help you find. They’re also interested in helping you store and access your own health... read moreWeb2Summit: Booking Charter Flights from Your Browser

It's unfashionable to admit these days, but 14 years after getting my first account, I still like email. Of course, the volume is crushing, and so lately, I've been experimenting with email reduction. I'm getting good results with two key... read moreJune 22 2007
