Web2Expo – Keynotes Day 2

Day 2 had an interesting line up of keynote speakers. It started off with another conversation of Tim O’Reilly with Martin Varsavsky of FON.

What caught our attention was the personal spin in the questions that Tim asked. Stuff like “What does your life look like?”. There seems to be more focus on personality then technology here what we really like.

Saul Klein shared his thoughts on the European venture scene and basically gave some ideas on how to survive the current crisis.

Alexandra Deschamps-Sonsino of Tinker It talked about open source hardware. She presented five challenges the community is currently facing and asked the web 2.0 community for help. Very, very inspiring what these modern-day hackers are doing and how it’s changing their understanding of technology and design.

  • I really liked suw's talk about email psychology. I thought about this for a while now, but she had some intesting points why people send so many emails I never thought about.

    First that people get conditioned to check new mails because sometimes a nice and intersting mail has come. And the other point was that having and producing a lot of email is kind of status symbol and a measurement of how much work someone does. How stupid but how sadly true this is.
  • Thanks, why do I actually still attend the keynotes? #Off 2 Alkopole #w2eb
