I’m not sure if you stayed for the last session, when Anil talked about the future of the Web. But I’ll give you a little quote from my analysis of his presentation:

The most important thing Anil talked about was defeating the fear. There?s a real fear among businesses people that the bloggers will say something bad about you, that you can screw up and fail and really harm your company in the blogosphere. And that fear is perpetuated in great part because there are some pundits who attack businesses when they make mistakes or don?t ?get it? as fast as they would like.

But the reality – Anil tells us – is that the blogosphere very inviting to businesses. They love that businesses are using the same communications tools that they use to relate to the world. What?s more, there is no religion or dogma of blogging, no right or wrong way. ?Don?t be so afraid of the changes,? he said at last, ?that you lose the opportunity to take advantage of something so powerful.?
