Learn about Web 2.0 fonts

This is Ludwig Gatzke’s compilation of nearly 400 Web 2.0 logos.

If you are creating content or campaigns for Web 2.0, check out Fontfeed's breakdown of the fonts:

"There is no official standard for what makes something “Web 2.0“, but there certainly are a few tell-tale signs. These new sites usually feature modern web technologies like Ajax and often have something to do with building online communities. But even more characteristic among these brands is their appearance. Web 2.0 sites nearly always feel open and friendly and often use small chunks of large type. The colors are bright and cheery — lots of blue, orange, and what we jokingly call the Official Color of Web 2.0: lime green." Read more.

This is a fantastic post about the Web 2.0 typefaces and branding,  as well as for learning about new fonts.

Web Conferences - Toronto

I wanted to mention a couple of upcoming web related conferences in Toronto:

Mesh Conference - May 30-31, 2007
Canada's premier Web conference, being held in Toronto on May 30th & 31st, 2007, is a chance to connect with people who are as excited about the potential of the Web as you are – people who want to know more about how it is changing the way we live, work and interact with the world. And you won't just connect with them in the hallways – at mesh, every panel and workshop is interactive.

Keynotes include Richard Edelman, Michael Arrington, Austin Hill, Jim Buckmaster, Tom Williams.

Enterprise 2.0 Conference - May 29, 2007
Anthony Williams, co-author of  internationally renowned “Wikinomics” and John Bruce, CEO of iUpload, a leading (and Canadian) Enterprise 2.0 success story, will be keynoting a breakfast seminar on “How Enterprise 2.0 is Changing Business”. Taken from a top manager’s perspective, this session will explore how “social media” and new collaborative models are already changing business and what lies ahead for the future.

The morning program will be followed by an interactive Q&A session. Afterward, feel free to stick around for a day-long series of participant-led workshops. Packed with examples from organizations that are walking the talk right now, these sessions will explore the role of the business and technology leaders implementing “2.0” in the enterprise.

The keynotes should be interesting as well as the "camp" style sessions that follow. Casecamp was great, so I'm looking forward to this.
