# Web 2.0 Conference Post Round-up

The conference is over now and so here’s a summary of my blog output from it. I was pumping out the real-time notes over the last 3 days! I didn’t have much time for analysis – my brain was full to the brim just absorbing everything. I intend to dive into the details over the next week or two. Here are the posts I wrote during the conference:
