Tim O'Reilly, the man who coined the term Web 2.0 hosted a Web 2.0 expo, to help people get the gist of what this new technology is all about. This Expo ran from April 15 to 18 at the Moscone Center in San Francisco, and as many as 10,000 people were expected to attend. This expo will covered topics necessary to start up your own Web 2.0 site, including topics such as "the elementary (web 2.0 fundamentals) to the complex and critical (web operations)."
I think that everyone in Bud's class has learned how exciting web 2.0 can be, and also, we now have a great understanding of how to use the technology. It's great that this type of conference is going on too, to get people to understand, accept, and use web 2.0.
