I learned more than I expected to. Wed, 16 May 2007 19:04:06 GMT http://confabb.com/conferences/16835/sessions/1131/details#241 Mr. Chris Scannell http://confabb.com/conferences/16835/sessions/1131/details#227 Great start, showing lots of promise, with an update on the future. He was good at breaking down what the world is like in the fast lane. Thu, 10 May 2007 20:10:15 GMT http://confabb.com/conferences/16835/sessions/1131/details#227 Mr Dale Phillips http://confabb.com/conferences/16835/sessions/1131/details#220 inspired presentation, and great speaker...really knows where things are going and I believe in the vision! Tue, 08 May 2007 15:45:12 GMT http://confabb.com/conferences/16835/sessions/1131/details#220 G D http://confabb.com/conferences/16835/sessions/1131/details#212 Provided an excellent overview of Web 2.0 concepts. Very few speakers so effectively combine style with content, humor with ideas and insight. Tue, 08 May 2007 14:59:29 GMT http://confabb.com/conferences/16835/sessions/1131/details#212 Ms. Sylvie Chartrand, PMP http://confabb.com/conferences/16835/sessions/1131/details#201 Excellent session. Explained many concepts in a simple manner. This knowledge formed a great base for subsequent sessions during the conference. Mon, 30 Apr 2007 00:22:43 GMT http://confabb.com/conferences/16835/sessions/1131/details#201 Ms Ros Kewley http://confabb.com/conferences/16835/sessions/1131/details#186 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!

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. Fri, 20 Apr 2007 16:19:55 GMT http://confabb.com/conferences/16835/sessions/1131/details#172 Mr. Luc-Rock Paquin http://confabb.com/conferences/16835/sessions/1131/details#170 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. Fri, 20 Apr 2007 13:08:24 GMT http://confabb.com/conferences/16835/sessions/1131/details#170 Scott Abel
