Well I am at the Web 2.0 Expo and there is definitely a buzz around everything Web 2.0. Last night was a pretty awesome night as I attended the first ever Digg Meet-up at Mighty. It was pretty wicked, everything from Rock Band, to a video that the Digg team had made the night before. Then when I got back to the hotel, had the chance to stay up to date with the Mesh launch, and sign up for the Live Mesh beta.
What is Mesh anyway? To me its a operating system agnostic web operating system. Yes right now it only supports Windows, but that clearly is not the only goal. You can build awesome application on it that work online and offline, and have web components as its building blocks and foundation.

So the guts of Mesh are the MOE (Mesh Operating Environment) which is made up of a Web Server, handlers for ATOM, JSON, FeedSync, WB-XML, and POX. Not only can Mesh understand and read RSS, but it creates and receives RSS/Atom feeds from other Mesh applications. Everything within the Mesh can be subscribed to as well, with things like Bloglines and Feedburner.
Anyway, I’m looking forward to the sessions and the keynote. I should go grab a coffee and bagel and grab my seat for the first session.
