Web 2.0 is one of the hottest things on the consumer Web, but where does it fit in the enterprise? What's the business value and how can developers use new Web 2.0 mashups to bring value to the line-of-business users? These are the questions that Rod Smith, IBM Fellow and Vice President of the IBM Emerging Internet Technologies group, will discuss during his General Session at AJAXWorld Conference & Expo 2007 West at the Santa Clara Convention Center next week.

Smith's talk is titled Developing Situational Applications with Web 2.0 Mashups.
