Web 2.0 conferences

I'm preparing a speech on Web 2.0 for the PTI conference in Wisla (Poland). And then I'm showing up at Stanford (USA) on November 29th for the Web 2.0 conference. So I have to prepare two presentations. I don't want them to be identical so it's an even harder job.

Web 2.0 is talked about all the time and it's been defined by numerous people. But those aren't the things which are making the task of talking about it hard. What does make it a difficult task is that the whole idea is actually very simple. Web 2.0 is just about doing things the 'natural' way. It's about conveying thoughts, feelings and all other attributes of humanity to computers.

No longer are websites designed by technology people with technology in mind. Web 2.0 are sites designed by humans with all the attributes of humanity in mind. And humanity is something everyone of us 'feels' and knows. So is there anything new to say about it? I hope I find those things and manage to draw the attention of conference guests to my presentation.
