I attended the DLD Conference in Munich earlier this week. It was my first time, and I'll certainly be back - from all the conferences I've seen so far, DLD is one of the best (my favourite remains LIFT in Geneva though). Here are some noteworthy quotes and thoughts from the conference:

"Whenever media changes, society changes." - Hubert Burda quoting Walter Benjamin.

"It's not about simplicity, but about subtlety." - Jonathan Harris on storytelling.

"Technological feasibility is not a problem anymore. Now, it's about policy." - Dave Morgan from Simulmedia

"The real dangers facing the development of the web in the future are complacency and mystification." - David Gelernter

"If the web is so good in bringing people together, then what the hell are we all doing here?" - David Gelernter again

"Don't listen to the consumer. Surprise the consumer." - some participant at the marketing panel whose name I didn't get.

"There is no web 3.0 yet. We're still in the middle of the web 2.0." - Reid Hoffman

I wrote about DLD in greater detail for my blog at NZZ (in German).
