TechCrunch Outs Conference Copycat WebGuild

Henry Blodget | January 2, 2008 7:21 AM

Arrington snoops around and discovers that the anonymous comment spammer blasting TC for not hyping the "Web 2.0 Conference and Expo" has the same IP address as the CEO of conference promoter WebGuild--the company that says there is nothing legally wrong with naming its conference after the wildly successful John Battelle / Tim O'Reilly confab of the same name (which, legally, there may not be).
Are you going to the Web 2.0 Conference later this month? No, not the one put on by O’Reilly in San Francisco. I’m talking about the Web 2.0 Conference & Expo put on by WebGuild later this month.

Or do you plan on attending the popular Future of Web Apps Conference? Not the one put on multiple times per year by Carsonified. This is a different Future of Web Apps conference, also held by WebGuild.

Confused? So am I. I hadn’t heard much about WebGuild, but recently dozens of spam comments started appearing on TechCrunch lambasting us for not promoting WebGuild’s Web 2.0 Conference...
On behalf of WebGuild, we would like to take the opportunity to announce WebGuild's newest conference, the 2008 TC40. For tickets and guaranteed floor space, please just send bags of cash.

In all fairness, the Web Guild is a non-profit organization that holds monthly forums for web professionals to learn and network, while the other conferences you mentioned are for profit.
