a lot of promising meetings this week:

with live demo from 4INFO, Caboodle Networks, Google and Yahoo!
- Ted Burns, 4INFO

No wonder it is sold out! I am sure we will have podcasts and comments available on various blogs for those who can not attend.
- On Tuesday, Emerging Tech SIG meeting: New Business Opportunities Leveraging Web APIS
Because of the current Term of Use (TOS) and rate limits imposed on the use of most of the public APIs, there were a lot of questions related to what type of business model can be built on top of web APIs at the Yahoo APIs/widgets meeting 2 weeks ago. Since the 4 top players will be represented, I hope to get some good answers during this meeting.
- Adam Trachtenberg, eBay
- Chris DiBona, Google APIs
- Jeff Barr, Amazon Web Services
- Robert Goldberg, IdeaLab
- Toni Schneider, Yahoo APIs
- John Rodkin, CEO of F2 (a new startup using Web APIs)
