Documentation and Training: The User Experience

Session: Keynote: The Future of XML Publishing
Description
The internet has gone through two major waves, email and the web. We are now entering the third wave, called Web 2.0 or Internet 3.0. This generation is characterized by two major forces, User Generated Content and XML Syndication. The combination of these will fundamentally alter the structure of the internet for both enterprises and consumers. Salim will talk about what this will look like, show some examples, discuss what to expect and explain how companies can take advantage of this new decade.

Energetic presenter and excellent session
Provided an excellent overview of Web 2.0 concepts. Very few speakers so effectively combine style with content, humor with ideas and insight.

Excellent session. Explained many concepts in a simple manner. This knowledge formed a great base for subsequent sessions during the conference.

Pop Rocks for the brain
I've heard a variation of Salim's keynote before, and it's a bit like that candy called "Pop Rocks" that kids empty from a tube onto their tongues, and they get an explosion in their mouths. Salim starts talking, and there is a little series of explosions in my brain as I start seeing the applications for what he's talking about. Salim sketches out, with a very few strokes, some alternate realities of how we could do business or communicate or generally run our lives, better and with more efficiency, and the dots starts to connect, all over the place.

I assume this is happening for everyone else in the audience, though some people looked at me a little askance afterwards and said that they had no idea what I was going on about. The one way Salim's presentations could bring the point home would be to use more illustrative stories, use cases, if you will, but there's no "4.75" rating on Confabb, so he'll just have to settle for a 5!

Fun & informative session
Salim Ismail delivered a great keynote that managed to be both informative and fun. He managed to give a good overview of "Web 2.0", which is a concept that is not well understood by many people and too often used as a buzzword.

I would have liked to know where the "Internet 3.0" term came from, as this was the first time I had heard of it.

You've Got Ismail!
As usual, Salim captivated the audience and lead them through a keynote address jam-packed with thought provoking, paradigm-shifting ideas. Attendee comments included: "Brilliant," "Best Keynote I've heard in a long, long time," and "Where did you find this guy? And why have you been hiding him from us?"

Salim made a complex (Web 2.0) topic understandable, accessible, and useful.
