Let's hope for the sake of Kleiner Perkins Caufield & Byers' limited partners that new partner Bill Joy hasn't been put in charge of meetings.

The first full AlwaysOn conference, the AO2005 Innovation Summit, at Stanford University kicked off today in an unusual manner. AO founder Tony Perkins and Marketwatch columnist Bambi Francisco conducted a remote interview with Draper Fisher Jurvetson founder Tim Draper and Skype Technologies SA CEO Niklas Zennstrom.
