If there is a Web 2.0 version of heaven, it must be Webjam. Last night Sydney's Bar Broadway was packed to the nines as 18 presenters got three minutes each on stage at Webjam 8 to show off their hot Web work. We were there to see it all go down.

We didn't get everyone's names last night, so please drop us a line or post a comment below this article if you know someone pictured, and we'll update the photo with their name.

Barbie beanie? What was he thinking? On the other hand it does look pretty cool. But where do you even buy one of those?
