The State of the Web According to Web 2.0 In San Francisco

Gotta love O'Reilly Expos!
Last week, myself and Christian were in San Francisco for O’Reilly Media’s famous Web 2.0 Conference.
There were some really compelling keynotes, fascinating panels, and the show floor, while small, did its job of showcasing the current focus of the tech industry. What I found most interesting was the seemingly laser-like focus the entire tech industry seemed to have on three key development priorities, and Web 2.0 showcased them handily.
After four days there, I have a few take-aways that I think do a good job of summarizing where today’s developers see the future of the web.
Yup, We’ll Pay for Your Hosting…
I have had the opportunity over the past two weeks to carry the news of ServInt’s LA launch to several well known tradeshows that are popular with our clients. Last week I attended both the PubCon and DevConnections conferences in Las Vegas. This week I’ll be at both Interop and Web 2.0 Expo in New York City. I’ve already got to meet a number of clients face to face, which is always fun. I’m going to meet more this week and I can’t wait! I love to hear how our products are being used to build new companies, and I like to hear feedback of all kinds directly from our customers. It’s the way we grow and improve.
I was surprised to have one particular conversation with multiple people, on something I thought was fairly common knowledge. It made me want to get a blog post out as quickly as possible.
More after the jump…
