Mmmm, Web 2.0 Koolaid, sister, that's tasty stuff
"There's too much going on. Every night there's a Mashup get together, or a TechCrunch party, or it's Tag Tuesday, or SuperHappyDevHouse or SXSW or this conference or that conference. And this stuff is fun. It's a real community. But all of these things are great by themselves, but terrible in combination. I see some entrepreneurs in photos from *every single event*. Who's talking to the users, writing the code, tweaking and retweaking the UI? It ain't the Chief Party Officer."
This naturally raised an interesting issue: who IS the Web 2.0 Chief Party Officer? At a guess, I'd figure it's Hugh Forrest of SXSW Interactive. Too bad ol' Hugh's got that job sewn up, because man, that job sounds terrific.
