8th International WWW Conference

I attended the WWW8 Conference in Toronto in '99.

The list of topics from the proceeedings that warrant Program Committee Vice-Chairs is telling

• User Interface
• WWW Performance
• Searching Querying, and Indexing
• Browsers and Tools
• Electronic Commerce and Security
• Hypertext/Hpermedia

Not an identity to be seen.

In retrospect, the panel with the topic of 'Why are all these Internet companies worth so much?' should have been a warning.
