The SFBAY chapter of the ACM is holding this event:

The pony express. Towns in Kansas. Claude and Ignace Chappe. Birds of the Salton sea. How are these related?
The Web is full of lists describing the “what” of Web 2.0, but where is the list of the reasons “why?” Through an examination of the past, learn why Web 2.0 was a pre-destined consequence of social psychology, military dollars, and determined hackers and entrepreneurs.
Come explore with us where the Web will be tomorrow and beyond by extending the same rich patterns which tie all these events and locations together.
