The second and final day of the FOWA expo (or third and final day if you attended the workshops on the 8th) has now concluded with what was surely a riotous filming of diggnation with Kevin Rose and co. Starting much as the first day did with a stellar keynote, this time by Tim Bray of Sun Microsystems and XML fame, followed by Adam Gross of Salesforce giving a quick demo of his company’s online offering. Tim certainly started off the proceedings strongly with a frank and intelligent exploration of how web applications and more specifically, those developing them, can survive in hard times; while other attendees touched on the banking situation, none covered it quite so lucidly and with such brilliant advice attached. Adam’s talk was part marketing, part demo and, unfortunately, all forgettable.
