Web 2.0 forum entertaining but not focused

The "Power of Web 2.0: Branding, New Media, Politics" forum was a success in the sense that the packed crowd truly had a fun time listening to the political stories that the panel had to share.

However, many audience members later said the forum could have been more focused, especially on business models for Web 2.0, which was barely touched upon.

There was a lot of focus on blogs but social networking was not touched upon at all. I guess that means there's an opportunity for another organization to come up with another Web 2.0 forum.
