I’m not sure if you know this but the tactics that is being by Tim O’Reilly like suing non-profits, resorting to racist tactics and getting his old boys networks to do his dirty work are pretty interesting. It seems that the old boys social networking have been benefiting tremendously from the O’Reilly platform. From the looks of things, O’reilly and the old boys doing things to protect themselves and their position as experts in web 2.0. They are engaging with customers to sell them their expertise in web 2.0, internet marketing and also social networking. He seems to be talking about the free flow of information in web 2.0 but looks like it not it as he seems busy squeezing every penny out of it. Google had been contacted to cut off support for a holding web 2.0 conferences which are priced at a fraction of his conference. There have not been any venue for events in the past few months and I got to know that the events will be back on track. The next event would be on the 7th of May 2008.
