NewTeeVee Live
Our friends from the GigaOm Network are presenting a one day event called NewTeeVee Live, to be held in San Francisco on 14th of November. The event will showcase the online video industry. NewTeeVee is a similar blog to last100 (a Read/WriteWeb Network blog), so we will be closely following the action.

Our friends at TechCrunch have another meetup happening, this time in Boston on November 16, 2007. Our own Josh Catone will be there, schmoozing on Read/WriteWeb's behalf. Look for a tall skinny guy with a beard!

British startup Snipperoo is holding a conference about widgets on December 6, 2007, at Brighton.
R/WW Events Board
Last but not least, don't forget R/WW has an Events Board, hosted by EventBee. You can list your event there for as little as $75.

Very useful post, Richard!
I would like to remind you of the Web 2.0 Expo that will take place in Berlin on 5-8 November. Intruders.TV is a media partner and gives away a €100 discount on tickets (you just need to contact us and let us know).
Implicit web: “a practical manifestation of intelligent computing that routes around the inherent complexities and elusiveness of the semantic web to deliver relevant data to end users when and where they want”.
... Or a cool term that Brad Feld cooked up on one of his long runs in the hills around Boulder.
The Implicit Web: Gathering data from different pipelines to give you the information you want, when you want it.
May or may not be relevant - Denver student, can't afford $1500!
Here is my 1-sentence definition of The Implicit Web.
The implicit web is the network of traces of individual activities on the explicit web, which is the publicly accessible World Wide Web itself.
Allow me explaining this definition a little bit.
1. The implicit web is a network of traces. Traces on the Web are visible historical marks of activities. Traces are not the activities themselves.
2. Data, services, and links are explicit to the public. Data browsing, service invoking, and link clicking are implicit to the public. But once the activities of data browsing, service invoking, and link clicking are recorded and organized properly, these traces become visible and accessible to the public. Traces are historical records of individual activities.
3. The basic components of the explicit Web are data, services, and links. The basic component of the implicit Web are traces of data browsing, service invoking, and link clicking.
4. The explicit Web reveals the static side of human knowledge. The implicit Web reveals the dynamic side of human knowledge.
5. The explicit Web engages collective human intelligence. The implicit Web engages collective human behaviors.

The implicit web is what you make of it.
better yet:
The implicit web is what it makes of you.
Also, you forgot Blog World Expo, Nov 8 - 9 in Las Vegas.
the implicit web is cooler tan you and I but needs both I and you to make it a reality.
The Implicit Web: “Is about human to human perception integration or the Cognitive Web, built by leveraging the machine to machine automation of the Semantic Web”.
When I build an application that scraps my Facebook mini-feed, Google Reader OPML and Day Planner then runs it through a neural network to tell me that I want to eat at Ruth Chris next week and I should probably get my suit dry cleaned -- that's the Implicit Web.
I probably can't make it out to Colorado but great thought experiment Richard!
The Implicit Web: The parts necessary to complete the whole experience are present, however it is up to the users to assemble them.
We have a great speaker lineup at NewTeeVee Live, http://live.newteevee.com/schedule, and would love to see the readers of RWW there.
Here's a special 15% discount code for you:

The Implicit Web. Definition unnecessary because it's implicit. Where do I pick up my free ticket?
Congrats Kevin (#2) for the best definition. I've emailed details re the free ticket to you Kevin.
