But that would actually involve understandinf web 2.0 and the long-tail, so dont hold your breath.
Sometimes I feel guilty about singling them out for my moaning, but then they say something like 'anybody into video needs to be at our conference' and all the guilt disappears. According to words spoken at the NYC 2.0 meet, you can get into the conference for free if you can prove you are a startup company though!!! And all this from people who use words like 'agitate' and 'disruptive' when referring to themselves and how they will shakeup the traditional media industry. I intend to do a bit of what those words actually mean, in order to agitate and disrupt up[starts who wish to copy the old way of doing things using new technology, instead of embracing the real potential of the internet. Tune in next week when I empty my bowels on those who think SEO is the spirit of the internet.
