Always-on Summit at Stanford

AO, or Always-On is a CA based organization that promotes the connected lifestyle. Their proposition reads as if it's right out of the Cluetrain Mainfesto:

The AO Proposition

In the next wave, media companies will have to share control with the audience they serve. eBay taught us the power and profitability of that idea in the first wave. But giving up control is a huge challenge for an old, crusty and entrenched industry. At AlwaysOn, we invite some of the smartest chiefs, geeks, investors, boosters and wonks to come play in our spontaneous and uncensored arena.


A recent featured blog from their group proclaims 802.11 "the greatest wireless technology ever". Wow. I love WiFi too, but you can take my WiFi away before I'll let you pry my IR remote control out of my hand (or my garage door opener). I guess that also leaves bluetooth as the "joseba beloki" of wireless standards (see below).

they've got what looks to be a great conference going on this week. Check it out.
