Web 2.0 Conference
A conference about the way new technologies are being used to improve user's experiences on the Internet was attended by Hobo team members Ben Lobo and Danny Hope last week.
The d.Construct conference, which was organised by clear:left and took place at Fabrica in Brighton, was centred around Web 2.0, a term
being used to describe how new technologies can deliver better web-based applications and services.
Speakers at the event covered a range of topics and emerging ideas about how the web will continue to develop. Some interesting examples of the new breed of web-based applications include:
- meebo.com - A browser-based Instant Messaging client
- flickr.com - A photo sharing service
- maps.google.com - Google's location and direction finding service
- geobloggers.com - Google maps and Flickr combined into a new service
By
attending conferences like this, Hobo aim to stay at the forefront of
Internet technologies and to pass on the benefits that this brings to
their customers.
