IBM has a podcast with Tim Berners-Lee. In a conversation with Scott Laningham of IBM developerWorks, Sir Tim discusses his early history with the Web, opportunities and challenges of the present, emerging technologies, and of course the semantic web.

Reading news on your mobile device - Another Web inventor, Dave Winer of RSS fame, is now busy creating mobile versions of popular news sources and weblogs for reading on your BlackBerry, Treo, or web-enabled cell phone. Included in the first batch is a mobile version of Read/WriteWeb! Also available is mobile NY Times. When I hear Dave saying something like this, I always prick up my ears:

"I've not been so excited or so sure about a new direction for mobile technology since podcasting in June 2004. I'm sure we'll look back on this as a turning point for mobile news."

And speaking of the future of the Web... Read/WriteWeb is giving away two seats to The Future of Web Apps conference - courtesy of Carson Workshops. For a chance to win, answer this question: What is the name of the person speaking about Google Calendar at The Future of Web Apps?

Email readwriteweb [at] carsonworkshops [dot] com with your answer and the folks at Carson Workshops will choose the first two people with the right answer.
