They are coming up with a service that delievers mail with a timestamp. At first, it seems like a very funny thing for the postoffice to be doing. Other booths I was interested in were companies that sold products to tract web traffic. What is intersting in this is the fact that there is a database in the backend. Database seems to be something that's very important in web developements.
Bolero also echos similar products in that it does have a very easy web interface.
From the expo, I got the sense that people were basically designing existing products that you can access through the web rather than say MSWord or Access. At Web97, there were a lot more free CD's and magazines people were giving out. This was one reason I felt it was geared a lot more torwards individual users. I must say this was really what I got out of it. I didn't know how I could use any of the products promoted there.
