The nice thing about living in the San Francisco bay area is that you are surrounded by great talks and conferences that are just around the corner.  The problem is that you still need to do your other work. 
A really great conference for web developers and Internet-based companies is the Web 2.0 Expo, which will be in San Francisco the middle of next week.  Web 2.0 has become a bit of an overused term.  I think of it as a new phase in the Internet.  In Web 1.0, web sites tended to dictate to users what content they could have with a small amount of user feedback.  Web 2.0 might be called “The Revenge of the Users” in that the users are creating and contributing their own content to the web sites.  Basically, users can now generate their own niche specific content without having to worry about the potential marketing opportunities, as the web sites do.
I will try to attend the Web 2.0 Expo, but I am not sure if I will be able to make it.  If you attend the conference, please let me know what you thought about the conference.
