The first video I watched from the web 2.0 conference is entitled "Internet Trends". In this video, the speaker engages the audience with 10 topics that businesses should focus on in the coming years. One of the main highlights of the presentation was mobile usage. Mobile kept coming up over and over again. Mobile will continue to be an important part of the evolution of the internet and business world, so companies need to start paying attention now. Mobile app development has grown tremendously. Another intriguing fact was that the revenue growth for the top 15 internet companies has been staggering in the past year. The internet is finally beginning to mature and is ready to bust open new, untapped markets. You can watch the video from the link above or the link below:

The second video I watched from the web 2.0 conference is entitled "Internet Culture". The main speaker for this clip is Ben Huh, CEO of the massively popular Cheezburger networks (FailBlog, etc.). He analyzes the reasons why internet culture has become prevalent. One of the ways is the fact that no can dictate internet culture. Unline TV and music where much of the culture is dictated by the media, internet culture is completely dictated by the user himself. Internet culture is generally created by passive consumers of general culture who wish to express themselves to the masses. It is quite an interesting video, and I would recommend watching it.
