Today was opening day at O'Reilly's Web 2.0 Expo in San Francisco. The place was buzzin' with all the electric energy associated with this space. I popped in and out of quite a few workshop sessions throughout the day. The diversity in presentation content and presenter effectiveness was astonishing. It is hard to take anything as sizzling hot as Web 2.0 and make it dry and dull, but quite a few managed to hurl themselves over that bar. I think it is worth giving a shout out to Trisha Okubo (Omiru.com) for opening a can of whoop-ass and keeping her audience on the edge of their seats during her blog workshop. That sista' stole the show. What made Trisha such a standout at a conference filled with a bunch of standouts? Quite simply, she was witty, insightful, relevant, fast-paced and self-effacing -- a fantastic mixture of attributes that propelled her presentation into the stratosphere. Anyone who describes themselves as "short with no waist" has more balls than...well you know where I'm going with this point.
I look forward to the rest of the Expo. If you didn't make it out to this one, I highly recommend you make it to the Web 2.0 Expo in New York in September.
Any attendees out there who want to share their perspective?
