Web2.0 NOT Web2 – Semantics are important

To get it in Quicktime

There is a silly trend by business people to call web 2.0 web2 and that is wrong and lazy. Keep social media about geeks and community. Semantics are important
Call it Web Two Point Oh.
Web Two has got to go.

I’m going to start using silverlight & silverlight hosting soon but I want to update my whole blog.

Barcamp Toronto Tech Week was a great success

So as BlogTO said we un-kicked off Toronto Tech Week on Saturday with Toronto’s fourth BarCamp since November 2005. By all accounts it was a successful event. We had a lot of new campers (that have now been indoctrinated) and good conversations. We can’t ask for more than that.

There are a couple of posts about the event:

The organizers Ryan Coleman, willpate, Dan Kurtz and I would like to thank our sponsors:

EnterpriseCamp was today and it went really well. Sandy has some great posts about it.

So have a good tech week people of hogtown.

Whiz! Bang! HaHa Douche! – Impressions of the Mix 07 keynote

I’m enjoying Mix this year and the keynote was pretty cool. The conversations are there but there are still some good old fashion whiz Bang demos. Silverlight looks amazing. I really hope it takes off.

At lunch today I talked Ian Muir and he felt the same way. All the marketer are like “videos with skateboards, AW YAH” and all the developers in the room are groaning.
