Here’s what I’m gonna say at the Web 2.0 workshop Jason Fried and I will be giving on Tues. Oct. 5th at 10:30. Please come. All the schmoozers will be out in the hallway - but Jason and I will be rapping about Lightweight Business Models.

If you’ve never seen Basecamp or heard Jason talk before - it’ll be a treat. And I promise to buzz through these 12 slides in :15 channeling the energy of 5B people inter-connecting together through technology.

John Batelle has created a nicely balanced group of peeps - for his Web 2.0 conference.

Not only does he have John Doerr, Mark Cuban and Mary Meeker, but he also has Cory Doctorow, Kim Polese and me.

I’m looking foreard to working with Jason Fried - one of my fav dudes - to get some heads spinning.

Here’s John’s post……

Again with the Web 2.0 plug, forgive me, but this has been an obsession lately.

As you may recall earlier I posted about the Web 2.0 lineup and asked for feedback on potential workshops. Well, I’m very pleased to say you really responded and we’ve got 10 already lined up, and they are truly amazing. They’ll run from the morning of the first day up till the main sessions start. From the Web 2.0 site:

Web 2.0’s workshops are designed to be conversations, not lectures. Each is led by a moderator with expertise in the workshop topic, but no formal presentations will be given. Instead, the workshop will address open questions and explore the latest developments in each of these very Web 2.0 subjects.

The subjects include:

RSS: Syndication Strategies and Business Models
Dick Costolo, CEO, Feedburner

Journalism 2005: A New Era for Newsmakers
Dan Gillmor, Columnist, San Jose Mercury News

Design for Web 2.0 Business

Jason Kottke, kottke.org

Consumer IS The King: Going Direct To Consumer For Revenues
Rafat Ali, Editor/Publisher, Paid Content

Emerging Democracy: Building API’s Into Government

Lightweight Business Models
Marc Canter, CEO, Broadband Mechanics
Jason Fried, 37signals

Dialing on the App Tone: How the Early Web OS is Shaping Up

Enterprise Social Software
Ross Mayfield, CEO, Social Text

Publishing 2.0
Christopher J. Alden, Co-Founder & CEO, Rojo Networks, Inc.

In addition, we’ve got at least half a dozen new companies and/or major products that will be debuting at the conference, including from Bill Gross, Kim Polese, Chris Alden, Michael Weiss, Joe Kraus and some soon to be announced. I hope to see you there!
