Life is grand

It would seem from Read/Write Web’s wrap-up of the Web 2.0 Summit (previously the Web 2.0 Conference) that $3000 and a few days of your time is not worth it. Apparently the Web 2.0 Expo will be more of a technological show case but I have to wonder if any conference, expo or summit is going to tell you anything that subscribing to TechCrunch, Read/Write Web and other sites don’t already tell you. Plus they do it a lot faster and are more responsive.

If you want to network, strike deals or idolise some smart people then by all means keep on attending conferences. And if you speak at them, keep it up, but otherwise are technological conferences outdated in favour of the realtime web?
