This week I'll be at two Bay Area Web 2.0-ish conferences run by friends.

First up, on Wednesday, November 14, NewTeeVee Live, a GigaOm production. This conference is about online video, which means it's really about the future of television. Webware readers in the area can get a 15 percent discount for conference admission.

Then on Thursday, November 15, I'll be at the Under the Radar: Mobility conference. As with other UTR events, it will be an orgy of startups. I'll be moderating two morning sessions. In the first, four mobile search companies will be presenting: Boopsie, Buzzwire, Dial Directions, and Imthere. In the second, we'll hear from four voice services firms: Lypp, Talkster, Vlingo, and Yap. Other sessions will feature companies combining the mobile platform with social networking, advertising, publishing, and more. Discount tickets are available for Webware readers.

If you're at one of these events, come find me to say hi.
