Spy Journal 3.0 Filtering the web for you

Here's a few funny rants brought to you by the WebDev Hall of Fame:

Last week The Chitika Blog hosted an Expert Mini-Series in which 5 experts gave their favorite Chitika & Google Adsense ad placement tips. Just in time for the holiday shopping season!

Great line up today.

We had a chap from Qantm speaking up the semantic web, virtualisation technologies, mashups and more. He was followed by the Faraday Media guys talking about APML, but more generally talking about some of the issues surrounding a Web 2.0 startup in Queensland. We had a great presentation by Nick Hodge on Mashups using PopFly, I have created some already - watch out for them on here soon. Silverlight got a background explanation and also some cool demos - mind you PopFly uses Silverlight also. We also had lunch hosted by Microsoft, and I scored a cool shirt. In the morning there were 2 web development companies presenting some information for graduates who may be looking for developer roles. Clearly Speedwell were a cutting edge design company  while JSA was far more of a design company, firmly ensconced  in flash technology.

I a currently online at Microsoft Mix On Campus. I am learning lots of cool stuff about the internet growth. market penetraton, new technologies coming etc. There are some interesting consequences for internet development in the future. Stay tuned
