Web 2.0 Expo
wmseto | 26 April, 2008 06:07
I was in Web 2.0 Expo for 3 days, working... The expo was held in Moscone West, San Francisco. I didn't have time to walk around until the last day of the conference and took some snap shots while I was walking around. The usual conference suspects were there, IBM, Google, Micoroft, Nokia, Oracle, Sun, Yahoo and etc (sorry if I didn't name your compies here). I would say the expo was developer focus. Companies showed of thier platforms, APIs, out-source services. Though some of the hip/hot compaies like Facebook, MySpace, or Twitter were no were to be found. I was hoping to see them there... Then for small startups, they probably didn't think sharing their secrets/products in such expo/conference would help thier business, because the conference was not for consumers.
Plus, isn't Silicon Valley itself already a big Web 2.0 expo? Whlie many of them already live in the "expo" everyday, why relive it again? 
Just a thought...
Nokia this time around had shown off its Internet Tablet, Map 2.0 service, Ovi share, Mobile Search, N-Gage, Web Run-time, Widsets... The main theme was "Share more. Experience more." Well, as you can see from the booth picture below.

I don't recall seeing woman specific services in the expo. Next time I shall pay more attention to that.

I was the winner of some tickets, had a quick look. To be honest, first time at such an event and I quickly run across the whole area (had one hour).
For me as an European it was just "cool" to see all those big names with a stand!
Who am I?
