Web 2.0 Expo began eons ago in Internet Years – April of 2007 – in San Francisco. It was the first conference and tradeshow for the rapidly growing ranks of designers and developers, product managers, entrepreneurs, VCs, marketers, and business strategists who embraced the opportunities created by Web 2.0, a term coined at the birth [...]

We’ve seen a number of big media splashes this year about bad user data practices: data theft at Playstation, Facebook’s ever-changing privacy policies, Apple’s iPhone tracking scandal. But how does this affect the younger, smaller startups building their business on user data? How can they prevent similar fiascos and what best practices should they follow? [...]
When she taught writing, Jen Dary would start with a quote from Steven King describing writing as telepathy: “I never opened my mouth and you never opened yours.

Not monitoring your online reputation? You may be a tweet away from a company reputation crisis. “If I am stuck at the airport and the Delta agent is being a jerk to me… there is no way in the world I would be able to get any help or redress 10 years ago. When you [...]
Note to readers: I debated publishing this article entirely in lolcat speak, but ultimately fought the urge. If you’d prefer to get meta, however, have at it. Internet memes are like the Force: It’s created by all living things (dogs, cats, socially awkward ducks, Scumbag Steves). It surrounds us, penetrates us, and binds the galaxy [...]

Raise your hand if you’ve ever been hoodwinked by manipulative UX design on a website. Maybe they used a bait and switch tactic or disguised ads as navigation options. You likely never returned and are perhaps bitter at the experience – but have you considered that your own website might do the same thing? If [...]

Only great teams build lasting products and companies.

I made the mistake of selecting tags that are actually a little too long to be useful on Twitter… Officially, we printed in our program guide that we will be using “web2expoeu” and “web2expoeu08″ For some reason this made sense at the time.
