Where 2.0 Conference 2008

The main inspiration for getting this blog up and running was the O'Reilly Where2.0 Conference which took place in Burlingame, CA, from 12th-14th May this year.

I've been meaning to write up some overall thoughts of the event but have been waiting to get the site live first.

So, full review to come along shortly, but in the meantime here are my postings from the conference (on my personal site).
