These tools are essentially better ways to communicate and share ideas. Aren't we just trying to make the world a better place faster?

I'm interested to know whether you've noticed this as well in the more corporate arena. Although I used to be a corporate executive, I'm now a business owner, business coach, speaker and a blogger. Thus, the conferences I attend are more focused to those audiences. If corporations are as equally focused on these topics, we could be headed for a really exciting transition next year.

In the days after the storm local bloggers began to come together, teaching web 2.0 skills to local activist and community groups, watchdogging the rebuild, and trying to pool our efforts for the common good. For example: The efforts of http://squanderedheritage.com have resulted in news coverage in the MSM and possible legal action concerning questionable use of rebuild funds. Oddly enough for a seeming technological backwater, use of social media in New Orleans have already gone into that mode and continues to evolve as the reconstruction drags on. I am very glad to hear that this is finally reaching center stage. IMHO none of the tech really means anything if you are not doing something positive with it.

And the timing could't have been more perfect with Obama being elected president on the eve of the conference's first day. So, I'd give even more credit to Tim O'Reilly and John Battelle for having the foresight in having fully planned the conference many months ago around the theme of "Web Meets World."

I have never paid to go to a conference, and fortunately I have either spoken, or been comped to get in. I am glad to hear that so many got their (3k) monies worth. More often then not, I believe that conference organizers exist for only one thing...to make a quick buck. This results in their panelists and keynotes adding NOTHING of value. They instead simply use it as a forum to tout their own (solution) horn. I don't need to pay money to here someone brag myopically about their product or service. Though it is not the same as being there, reading comments from you and others about the conference at least brings it to me (and the masses), and THAT is what social media is all about. I can't wait for Obama's (and others like Gore) Government 2.0...wake up people and DEMAND this from your congressman. www.twitter.com/A_F Great points (your post and Karl Long’s comment).
