Are hyper-local online communities the wave of the future? Many location-based apps (think Foursquare or Gowalla or Yelp) have caught on quickly, and Facebook and Twitter will likely add the option to make updates location-aware. In response, some in the Web 2.0 world are shifting away from making products that create national or international communities. [...]

Paige Finkelman would like to teach you how to rob her—or any victim—more efficiently next time.
“Communication is essential,” Paige, who will speak at tonight’s Ignite Bay Area | Women Innovators, said. (Web 2.0 Expo is a sponsor of the event.) “It makes the experience for the muggee less painful.”
Although the 5-minute talk focuses on her [...]

After the recent Web 2.0 Expo NY–a sprawling, week-long conference and exhibition–I ducked into the Morgan Library to catch A Woman’s Wit: Jane Austen’s Life and Legacy. A one-room show about an 18th century novelist seemed like the perfect antidote to a week of tech talk in the Death Star Javits Center.
As I’d hoped, the [...]

Thank Web 2.0 Expo co-chair Brady Forrest (@brady) if you enjoyed the soundtrack to the conference keynotes. Besides the numerous tweets from the audience requesting song titles, we noticed a few of you tapping your toes and (as the kids would say) “rocking out” pre-talk in the keynote room.
Want to take these tunes home with [...]

For those of you unfamiliar with Ignite, here’s a brief description:

You’re surrounded by people, but you’ve never felt more alone. Web 2.0 Expo New York is a busy, packed event, but unless you’re a natural extrovert, it’s often times nerve-racking to initiate a conversation - even with the person next to you.
Or maybe you have another problem: You need to know about the best place [...]

As wonderful as it is to be here and see Web 2.0 Expo coming to life once again at Javits, it’s a bittersweet moment for me. I’m both happy and sad to announce that this will be my last event with Techweb and Web 2.0. I’ve been so lucky to have worked with this amazing [...]

The theme for this year’s Web 2.0 Expo New York is the Power of Less. The Power of Less doesn’t just mean making do with fewer staff and a smaller budget. It means that constraints drive creativity, whether in business models, design paradigms, or platforms. It means the power of the small screen, the thin [...]

Even the friendliest community manager won’t keep your customers coming back if you don’t pay attention to the numbers. Sean Power and Alistair Croll believe cold, hard data take precedence over any marketing or design decision or strategy, and they’ll be teaching others how to better analyze their situation this November at Web 2.0 Expo [...]

If you’re a designer, you’re likely familiar with the dread that accompanies most review processes. You think you’ve done a good job and delivered exactly what they asked for… only to find out they want a tweak here, a change there, and - oh wait - they want it completely redone, RIGHT NOW.
How do you [...]
