A Brief History of the Web, and a Glimpse of Its Future 1

Earlier this week, I had the pleasure of speaking at Ignite Sebastopol, the first-ever local Ignite event. Started a couple years ago by O’Reilly Media, Ignite talks use an unusual, fast-paced format: 20 slides, 5 minutes, and the slides advance automatically every 15 seconds so there’s no such thing as running over. It’s a challenging format but it sure keeps things moving. The event was packed, with more than 150 people at the Hopmonk Tavern.
Here’s the video, courtesy of Empire Report. The slides are available at slideshare, but they’re sort of dull without the talk track.
You rock! I hope Webvanta is a great success. Really appreciated the POV that we want to support journalism, not necessarily ink-and-newsprint.
