Web 2.0 Summit Takeaways

Earlier this month Web 2.0 Summit took place in CA. I had received an invitation to this event where Al Gore, Mark Zuckerberg, Arianna Huffington, Jerry Yang and Lance Armstrong were among the many stars present. Unfortunately, I couldn't go.

Sarah Blue writes A Wrap Up Letter On Web2 Summit.
