Darren Straight's Blog

Last month Michael Arrington got together with a number of startup CEOs and executives to video a discussion about Web 2.0. Participating in the discussion were Aaron Cohen (Bolt), Scott Milener and Steven Lurie (Browster), Keith Teare (edgeio), Steven Marder (Eurekster), Joe Kraus (JotSpot), Jeremy Verba (Piczo), Auren Hoffman (Rapleaf), Chris Alden (Rojo), Gautam Godhwani (Simply Hired), Jonathan Abrams (Socializr), David Sifry (Technorati), Matt Sanchez (Video Egg) and Michael Tanne (Wink).

The topics discussed included:

1. What is Web 2.0?
2. Are we in a bubble?
3. What are the business models that will work on the web today?
4. What is the role of publishers in a user generated world?
5. How important and how big is the early adopter crowd?

And though you may have already seen The 24 Minute Web2.0 Documentary on TechCrunch and I probably didnt notice it until now because I’ve been very busy at work as well as sorting out my  last year uni/college fees, I can asure you that it’s worth while watching!

Also as we are talking about web2.0, let me remind you that the Second Blogger/Web2.0 Mixer Redux is on the 11th of August September and that you’re welcome to come as a guest if you let me know or you can visit Roger’s Site and request for an Invite yourself.
