Web 2.0 Expo, SkypeJournal tag and twitter
I'll be at various Geek Week events this week, the biggest being the O'Reilly Web 2.0 Expo. Here are lists of all talks at the conference, talks that interest me, and six I tagged "skypejournal" as on-point for our readers.
- "Business Mashups: Designing, Distributing and Monetizing Web Applications"
- "Writing Voice Mashups with Mechanical Turks and Maps" Thomas Howe
- "Mobile 2.0" Mike McCue, Ilkka Raiskinen, Paola Tonelli
- "The Power of P2P: Millions of Tiny Unstoppable Pieces" Ori Brafman...
- "High Order Bit: Joost: P2P Television" Dirk-Willem van Gulik
- "Web 2.0++: Why We Got Here and What's Next" Rolf Skyberg
If you're twittering, here are twitter home pages for the conference, Phil Wolff (follow my twits), and Skype Journal headlines (follow the headlines).
I'll try sending photos to my flickr account.
I believe (wild, unfounded) Skype will launch web service access to the Skype identity service, presence service, payment system, calling and messaging services sometime this year. When the do, Skype's ecosystem will expand to the web2.0 community.
Call or Skype me if you have tips or want to visit this week in San Francisco. My mobile: +1-510-206-1138. Skype should roll over to my mobile.

Why do you believe this?

@bjorn: It's about economic incentive. More than 40% of all eBay postings flow through their web service systems. Much of this is pure growth for eBay. When Skype helps companies to build Skype into their web sites and business systems, Skype's velocity - customers, revenue, power, innovation - will double or triple.
There's a race on to talk-enable the web and this architecture is at its core. I think Skype's leaders know this and are working on it. It's neither simple nor easy to do well and quickly.
Again, I haven't seen any code to confirm this. Just analysis and observation.
