From Digital Media Conference 2007: A beautiful day in DC, weatherwise, for the Annual Digital Media Conference, taking place today at the American Film Institute in Silver Spring, Md., just across the city line. About 500 registered attendees and about 60 panelists are converged in the AFI’s striking Art Deco space, and a lot of the chatter here centers around the notion of “monetizing” content and audiences, and which business models on the Web are going to work best going forward, moving past Web 2.0 and toward Web 3.0 (whatever that might be). Seems similar to the question that a lot of people in the business were asking way back during Web 1.0: Would the best business models be advertising driven or supported by paying users?
