Why Robert Scoble Is Wronger About "2010 Web": A BoomTown Translation!

Oh, Scooby-Don’t… You could not be more wrong in your post last week–titled, “Why Kara Swisher and Walt Mossberg are wrong about naming Web 3.0 ‘Web 3.0′”–about Walt and I being wrong about naming Web 3.0 “Web 3.0″ in an essay we posted at the start of our D: All Things Digital conference, which took place last week. I know writing “Kara Swisher,” “Walt Mossberg” and “Wrong” is well-nigh irresistible, but your solution of calling the digital era we are in the “2010 Web” is equally confusing and incorrect.

D7 Welcome Reception

The attendees have been steadily arriving at the Four Seasons Resort Aviara today. After stashing their great swag in their rooms, they’ve gathered for the welcome reception in the hotel.

D7 Swag

The recession can claim our jobs, our homes and maybe even our dignity–but our swag? That’s just going too far. Not to fear. While this year’s D7 swag bag is a bit lighter than last year’s, it doesn’t disappoint.

D-Day: In the Seventh Year, We Didn't Rest (Mostly Because of Meetings)

We launch the seventh D: All Things Digital conference in Carlsbad, Calif., today, after a long weekend of preparations and way too many meetings, as you can see in the video below. (Including packing the mountain of swag bags for attendees, upon which one of my kids sits in this photo.) The conference kicks off with an evening interview tonight with Twitter co-founders Biz Stone and Evan Williams.

D6 Swag

What’s in the D6 swag bag this year? Sadly, the Microsoft-Yahoo Edition Rock ‘Em Sock ‘Em Robots we’d hoped for didn’t come through. That said, we did manage to compile a nice selection of goods from the kind folks at Activision (ATVI), Jawbone and PEZ, among others.
