I imagine they have to alter their business model as the world alters.
The company I work out has business focused publications and makes a
large amount of money from the conferences, I daresay that O'Reilly
has to do likewise to stay in business.
I imagine with everyone chanting BigData now that the Strata
conferences are far more in demand.
Although I'd like to add my own gripe in turn.
What is it about webcasts? People use them to publicise their
technology, or promote their agenda, but they use crappy audio and
dodgy video. It is almost as though they haven't got a clue.
Although I'm cursed by living next to the Underground track, try
filtering that out.
