# TBL Podcast, Mobile News, and 2 tickets to Future of Web Apps to give away

IBM has a [podcast with Tim Berners-Lee](https://web.archive.org/web/20110812215328/http://www-128.ibm.com/developerworks/podcast/dwi/cm-int082206.html). In a conversation with Scott Laningham of IBM developerWorks, Sir Tim discusses his early history with the Web, opportunities and challenges of the present, emerging technologies, and of course the semantic web.

**![blackberry](https://web.archive.org/web/20110812215328im_/http://rww.readwriteweb.netdna-cdn.com/images/blackBlackBlackBerry.jpg)Reading news on your mobile device** – Another Web inventor, Dave Winer of RSS fame, is now busy [creating mobile versions](https://web.archive.org/web/20110812215328/http://www.scripting.com/2006/08/21.html#newMobileStuff) of popular news sources and weblogs for reading on your BlackBerry, Treo, or web-enabled cell phone. Included in the first batch is a mobile version [of Read/WriteWeb](https://web.archive.org/web/20110812215328/http://readwriteweb.scripting.com/)! Also available is mobile [NY Times](https://web.archive.org/web/20110812215328/http://nytimesriver.com/). When I hear Dave saying something [like this](https://web.archive.org/web/20110812215328/http://www.scripting.com/2006/08/22.html#whatsNewForYourBlackberry), I always prick up my ears:

“I’ve not been so excited or so sure about a new direction for mobile technology since podcasting in June 2004. I’m sure we’ll look back on this as a turning point for mobile news.”

And speaking of the future of the Web… Read/WriteWeb is **giving away two seats** to [The Future of Web Apps](https://web.archive.org/web/20110812215328/http://www.carsonworkshops.com/summit) conference – courtesy of Carson Workshops. For a chance to win, answer this question: What is the name of the person speaking about Google Calendar at The Future of Web Apps?

Email readwriteweb \[at\] carsonworkshops \[dot\] com with your answer and the folks at Carson Workshops will choose the first two people with the right answer.
