Web 2.0 Pre-Dinner

For the second year in a row, I attended the pre-Web 2.0 VIP dinner in San Francisco last week, held at Scott Howard.

A prelude to our schmooze and fine dining time (two courses - fish and steak), John Battelle and Tim O'Reilly engaged attendees in a dialog, asking them what they hoped to see and hear at the upcoming Web 2.0 event at the end of the year.

I think I may have even heart that enterprise search is sexy. A debate between Vonage and Skype is very overdone however. Digital Rights Management and Digital Video were among the hot topics.
