What do YouTube, MySpace, eBay, and Craigslist have in common? They're
all part of "Web 2.0," in which a Web site's material is supplied by
its visitors. In this head-spinning talk, David Pogue, the New York
Times's tech columnist, helps to make sense of the explosively
expanding realm of Web 2.0. He'll advise both individuals and
companies on how to exploit these live-wire technologies, supply some
horrifying and hilarious real-world stories, and hint at the future,
the pitfalls, and the rewards of these revolutionary new channels.
Speaker: David Pogue is the personal-technology columnist for the New
York Times. Each week, he contributes a print column, an online
column, an online video and a popular daily blog, "Pogue’s Posts."
David is also an Emmy award-winning tech correspondent for CBS News,
and he appears each week on CNBC with his trademark comic tech videos.
With over 3 million books in print, David is one of the world’s
bestselling how-to authors. He wrote or co-wrote seven books in the
"for Dummies" series (including Macs, Magic, Opera, and Classical
Music); in 1999, he launched his own series of complete, funny
computer books called the Missing Manual series, which now includes
over 100 titles.
David graduated summa cum laude from Yale in 1985, with distinction in
Music, and he spent ten years conducting and arranging Broadway
musicals in New York. In 2007, he was awarded an honorary doctorate in
music from Shenandoah Conservatory.
He’s been profiled on both "48 Hours" and "60 Minutes." He lives with
his wife and three young children in Connecticut. His web site is
