Web 2.0 Expo: Making a Difference

"There is this amazing confluence of technology and opportunity at a time where we really can change the world. And there are some big problems that need to be solved." –Tim O'Reilly

The Web 2.0 Expo took place this week in San Francisco. We attended virtually through Twitter, blogs, and Blip.tv. The keynote from Tim O'Reilly speaks to the larger Web 2.0 trends in the first two thirds i.e. the web as a platform, the potential on the enterprise side, mobile, and cloud computing. He ends with a nod and a plea to innovators and entrepreneurs to leverage the power of Web 2.0 and social media to solve big problems including climate change, government transparency, deforestation, energy efficiency, disease, and the deterioration of our local communities. He asks rhetorically, "Are we done yet?" Indeed, we're just getting started.
