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.

Each week, he contributes a print column, an online column, an online video and a popular daily blog, "Pogue’s Posts."
