An interesting talk by Jeff Bezos of Amazon at the Web 2.0 conference, I believe from last year. Starts with a brief overview of where Amazon started. And then the statement on what web 2.0 is to him:

  • Web 1.0: Making things easier for people
  • Web 2.0: Making things easier for computers

The take home of course was API’s API’s API’s. He also goes over the increasing role full text indexes will play in the future in terms of discovery. It then ends with a Q&A.
