@Elsa – Thanks for your comment, I love sharing about Web 2.0 because it truly is a passion of mine, and I would love to see more Long Tail business taking advantage of it!

@Vanessa – I agree, I’m speaking to many people who are web designers still in the “Web 1.0″ space, and they’re actually terrified of how things have change – and “nearly” passed them by. It’s really simple though, and once you understand the fundamentals it becomes extremely easy.

@Teri – Lol – yes people actually “work” and “make a difference” when others think they’re “playing” with their laptops! :) There’s a lot of power in technology now, and if you see someone on their mobile don’t be sure that person is wasting time – that person might be changing the world! :)

@Hasanain – Glad you liked the talk bro. I’m still waiting for my invite to play some squash with you guys! lol :)

Hi Jamal
Your talk on Web 2.0 was very informative. You talk very passionately about this “new media” . I hope to attend your future talks.
Warm Regards

Hey there! what a fabulous day of intense new information. I used to always wonder how folks could play with their laptops during a conference – the penny has dropped. Now to explore the worldwide possibilities of virtual collaboration… Definitely an excellent tool for energy efficiency and carbon reduction!

Speaking of scary stuff – I think the whole web 2.0 world is still pretty scary for a lot of people – so great job of unpacking it for people today Jamaal. Had some great feedback from the people I spoke to at Flying Solo – often people end up more confused than ever before, but you gave a very accessible overview.

I could have listened to you the whole day. You have really great practical advise to offer and this should be shared. Thank you for the time you gave us at the un-conference.
