Wow. Looks like I’m going to be headed to the "Web 2.0 Conference for Business" in Tyson’s Corner, Virginia (near DC) next week. I’m psyched! Like I said previously, the Microsoft conferences are passe; the energy these days can be found with the Web 2.0 crowd! The conference is a little pricy at $595 for …
