Check out the companies below; they are bringing financial support to this important gathering to talk together about the future of the internet.

Sponsor Post: The Limits of Tweet-Based Web Search
Editor's note: we offer our long-term sponsors the opportunity to write 'Sponsor Posts' and tell their story. These posts are clearly marked as written by sponsors, but we also want them to be useful and interesting to our readers. We hope you like the posts and we encourage you to support our sponsors by trying out their products.
Many of the recent real-time search engines are based on Twitter. They use the URLs enclosed in tweets to discover and rank new and popular pages. In this post, we'll take a look at the quantitative structure of the underlying foundation, to determine the feasibility and limits of this approach. We'll also look at how to overcome these limitations by using the implicit Web.

Top 10 Alternative Search Engines of 2008
Editor's Note: This list was contributed by Charles Knight, editor of AltSearchEngines, a former RWW network blog.
In terms of user experience, the gap between the major search engines and their alternatives continues to widen -- a lot. Google has been compared to a luxury liner that turns around very, very slowly, whereas the startups are speedboats that can turn (or innovate) on a dime. I guarantee that if you try any of these top 10 alternative search engines of 2008, you won't come away saying, "Hey, that was just like Google."
Cloud Failures Are Serious - Time to Revisit P2P?
Google had a bad week in cloud computing, with serious downtime in Gmail, Blogger and Spreadsheet. Back in July it was Amazon that was embarrassed with their S3 outage. If you measure on total downtime, cloud computing still looks good compared to traditional hosting or in-house data centers. But that glosses over the psychological and market confidence issues, when a problem hits everybody at the same time. In contrast, when was the last time you heard about a massive Skype outage? Maybe it is time to look more seriously at P2P?
FAROO - Could P2P Search Change the Game?
Entrepreneurs have learned that pitching anything to investors with "we can beat Google at search" is the kiss of death. This is like pitching against Microsoft in the PC world of yesteryear. None of the high profile, well-funded search engine start-ups with cool new interfaces, social search or natural language technology have made a dent in the real world. Not even Microsoft, with its army of smart researchers and piles of cash, has been able to halt Google's relentless market share gains in search. So why do I think that a bunch of engineers in Germany at a low profile company called FAROO have a chance?
