Another quick summary, this time of day two at Webstock. I’ll put together a more detailed account over the coming days.

Day two kicked off with Russell Brown speaking of content and community. Next Russ Weakley discussed the merits of user-centric and user-created navigation of large content sites. Ben Goodger spoke of the history that lead to the Firefox project and some of the lessons learned and then gave some hints to what will be in Firefox 2 and Firefox 3. Then I attended Dori Smith’s discussion of unobtrusive scripting.

After lunch Steve Champeon got passionate about why standards matter for email. Then Tony Chor, from Microsoft, talked about the good, the bad and the future of Internet Explorer in a very candid manner. After a break we were back for a panel discussion moderated by Russell Brown and “starring” Joel Spolsky, Steve Champeon, Doug Bowman and Kelly Goto.

The final session for Webstock was another inspirational and, dare I say it, passionate presentation by Kathy Sierra on the principles of creating passionate users.

We wrapped with a buffet dinner and entertainment by Wellington band Odessa.

A fantastic few days.
