In less than 5,000 days, the Web has gone from the linking of a few computers in a lab to satellite images of the earth at our fingertips. Today, the Web has 100 billion clicks and 55 trillion links and carries 2 million e-mails per second. There are 1 billion PC chips in use, 65 billion phone calls made per year, and 600 billion RFID tags being used. Every second, we move the equivalent of half the Library of Congress across the Web. All that in less than 5,000 days.

So what will the next 5,000 days bring?

In the same inbox I just received an invitation by Tim O’Reilly and John Battelle for the Web 2.0 Summit taking place in San Francisco Nov 5-7th. So what’s next indeed..!? Hopefully I’ll find out at the Summit and share it with you.

I did make it a priority last night for an hour between the web audit and e-marketing plan due last night and a database of members missing critical information (um.. usernames) for a huge site launching last night, anyways, I submitted 3 proposals to Web 2.0 conference in NY Sep-08.

Today I met with a new client, and while sorting schedule meeting times for the next few weeks, I found out one of them will be at Web 2.0 in SF later this month. I mentioned the talk proposals and they asked me what the topics would be. So I pitched them, and they wanted to hear the talks immediately! So that is a good sign.

So here’s what I’m going to do – put up the pitches over the next three days to get your input.

But before that, I’d like to get some advice on something else. You may notice that my diagrams are.. well.. sketchy at best. I have no artistic talent, but I tend to use whiteboards extensively to draw out sticks, boxes and circles for clients, and they love them. But I guess putting up online is a different game.

So to my point – what do YOU think of my diagrams? Unprofessional? Too ugly to make a point? Comments please!
