Applications 2.0: AJAX and Beyond (The Business Case)
In this workshop, Jesse James Garrett and Peter Merholz of Adaptive Path will curate a series of applications built on solid Web 2.0 principles. In discussions with the applications' creators, they'll probe the challenges of development, the benefits to the users, and the business cases that make this all viable. With its underlying philosophy of openness and relinquishing control, developing Web 2.0 applications are less about tight plans and roadmaps, and more about corralling a disparate set of technologies and potential uses. How does a business take advantage of AJAX, APIs, the "architecture of participation," and other components in the Web 2.0 stew? Building a Developer EcoSystem (Sponsored by MSN Search)
VC 2.0: An Entrepreneur's Market?
What's in a Tag?
CANCELED: From Community to Commerce: The Arrival of Podcasting (Sponsored by Outcast Communications)
In short, podcasting has created an explosion of multimedia advertising inventory. Advertisers and media companies alike are enthusiastic about a new form of advertising that opens up unlimited possibilities with respect to reach, frequency, and target marketing. At the same time, podcasters and listeners still get to experience their information and their entertainment on their terms. With winners on both sides of the equation, who's to say this isn't the first great media breakthrough of the 21st century? Identity 2.0: Identity Protocols, Today and Tomorrow (Sponsored by Sxip Identity)
This model will be discussed in the context of past, present, and future IdM protocols. Hardt will start by establishing a definition of digital identity and examine how identity information is currently stored and transported on the Web. Then he'll review the lessons learned from the successes and failures of past identity protocol implementations. Hardt will also look ahead to impending digital identity development needs, the evolution of standards and protocols, and realistic expectations for Identity 2.0 in the near and distant future. This will be a lively debate! Open Source Infrastructure
This workshop will review many of the leading standards and present those leaders in an interactive format so that new standards, functionality and potential can be discussed in an open manner. Panelists will present their technical standards, while also discussing the ramifications of what happens when these standards go viral and trickle down the pyramid to the mainstream. More specifically: The world of micro-content will be discussed both from a "microformats" worldview, as well as a "structured blogging" perspective. Open Media will be a general theme, and tagging will be discussed as well as how tagging fits in and drives ALL of these standards. Advanced services such as pinging and aggregating will be discussed as well as new eco-systems (such as Events or Reviews) and what happens when trends are combined together--like social networking and blogging (a la Y! 360 or GoingOn.) Finally, discussions will be geared towards whether or not non-profit organizations are the right vehicle for organizing and establishing standards (as opposed to a free and open marketplace) and what is the future of open source infrastructure and what audience participants can do to contribute to this open movement.

Should employers micro-manage the manner in which employees use company-sponsored blogs?

What liability might the employer face when its employees post objectionable material to a blog? What policies should companies develop to address blog usage at work?

What are the challenges, what's working and what needs immediate fixing? What is interesting that's coming soon, and what are users doing that we didn't expect?

Additional panelists: Mazin Gilbert, AT&T Suranga Chandratillake, Blinkx Usama Fayyad, Yahoo! Dave Sherfesse, Alexa The Internet is the world's largest source of information, offering data on nearly every topic imaginable. The challenge is to extract useful information from the constant and enormous daily flow--in essence, to do data mining on a moving target, "in flight" as it were.Web data comes in formats ranging from traditional fielded records, through text, speech, image, and video. The bulk of the data is referred to as "semi-structured" because it inherits the hypertext structure of the Web; organizationally, however, more often than not it is unstructured text. The magnitude and richness of this data offers a compelling target for data mining. One can derive information about nearly any subject or anyone. Companies involved in web-based commerce --virtually all businesses these days--present a tremendous volume of information about their products, services, and operations. More importantly, one also can learn a tremendous amount about individual web users. The researchers at AT&T Labs are now turning their data mining expertise to the challenges presented on the Web. AT&T's Daytona Database Management System is the largest known database in the world, with more than 100 terabytes of data and one trillion indexed records. For years, Daytona has been used to spot telephone calling card fraud in real time, and it is now being used in AT&T's Internet Protect service to analyze the 2,500 terabytes of IP traffic that flows over the company's backbone network every day to spot early signs of worm and virus attacks. AT&T will host a panel discussion with other industry experts on technologies and applications of data mining, presenting views from across the industry on the use of data available on the Web and data created by use of the Web.

Mash-ups 2.0: Where's the Business Model?
So you built a mashup, it's super-cool, and your site just got slashdotted -- but will it ever pay the rent? Since Google Maps debuted earlier this year, mashups combining multiple web services have become the poster children for the Web 2.0 movement. However, while no doubt amazing, can sites like these that remix data from others ever be used to make money on their own? Join us for a tour of the latest Mashups hit parade, and a discussion of how mashup business models might attract commercially-minded developers with Web 2.0 aspirations. We'll discuss key technologies & services needed to implement mashups, and what business models could be used to generate revenue for their owners. Our panel will include popular mashup developers, as well as technology evangelists from platform companies like Yahoo, Google, and eBay offering mashup services.
