Ahh, the weekend! After several informationally intense days at Gilbane Conference San Francisco, the R&R starts with a leisurely stroll through the week. Grab a cuppa something and check our coverage of the event.
One the most prevalent themes at #gilbanesf was web engagement management. Even at the post-conference inaugural #CMSGeekUpSF, conversations about engaging content, the importance of enjoying web experience and CMS becoming a Conversation Management System kept going.
Next door to #gilbanesf, a geeky crowd was sporting freebie Droids, Evos and G-socks. Yup, that would be Google I/O. How do you know you're at a geeky conf? Sign #13: 87% of attendees are using Macs, and 47% of those have "Powered by Ubuntu" stickers on them, as observed by @pmonks.
Froyo, (attempted) revival of Wave (especially pitched to the enterprise) and Google TV were among the goodies Google tried to impress the folks with. Oh, right. That and the big Google Storage announcement chasing after Amazon’s S3 offering that already has a relatively established history in the RESTful cloud services market. Too late to the game, dear G? Will BigQuery API and Prediction API become the game changers in Amazon vs. Google storage war?
