People sometimes ask me, why go to  these conferences, when one can read up on them on the Web. The answer, my friends, is that there are many things you learn by talking to people at conferences that you won't get  from reading RSS feeds. Like what other developers think of Googe Maps vs Yahoo Maps.  Or what new products will be coming out in the next 9 months (that they'll gladly tell you over dinner or whisper conspiratorially, but will never tell the press). Or which companies are throwing a lot of marketing behind a product, and which ones just happen to have an impressive Webpage.
