web 20 minions leaving money on the table for the rest of us
I'm here at BarCamp having a great time. They've done a great job organizing this event and Amit and his crew have obviously learned a great deal from the last one and really implemented some great changes.
There's probably about 200 people here. The good news for those of you who read this blog is that I can report that most of the smartest people in our industry are distracted by Web 2.0 and especially social networking. There's an incredible focus on solving already solved problems of social networking.
Part of me feels sad by this because there's so many great problems these folks could be solving. On the other hand, they're leaving all the really great problems to the rest of us to solve (and profit from)! Yeah!
