Five Reasons Why Web 2.0 Matters

jg21 writes "Dion Hinchcliffe, who is becoming the closest thing outside of Tim O'Reilly to being a Web.2.0 popularizer and evangelist, has summarized what he considers to be the five major benefits of Web 2.0 best practices. Hinchcliffe singles out the tactical potential of aligning with Web 2.0's increasingly ballistic trajectory: 'You can use the leviathan forces of attention and enthusiasm that are swirling around Web 2.0 these days as a powerful enabler to make something important and exciting happen in your organization.'"

    "I've been spending a lot of time lately with folks around the mid-Atlantic region and talking to them about Web 2.0."

    Firstly that there are a lot of people on Ascension Island. Secondly that there are a lot of web type people there!

    Maybe he was referring to the Azores...

    The Focus of Technology Moves To People With Web 2.0. One of the lessons the software industry relearns every generation is that it's always a people problem. It's not that people are the actual problem of course. It's when software developers naively use technology to try to solve our problems instead of addressing the underlying issues that people are actually facing. Then the wrong things inevitably happen...

    Or does someone have a link that's translated from PR bullshit to English?

    There's not a single nugget of real information in this article.

    I, on the other hand, found the article easily comphrehensible. In fact, it's pretty obvious to me that all Web 2.0 really needs is to leverage the repurposing of synergistic, best-of-breed e-markets into more scalable, cross-platform action-items, allowing us to harness the power of the aggregation of one-to-one metrics in a way that will simultaneously optimize and extend several world-class, out-of-the-box web-readiness initiatives and give us the disintermediated mindshare we're all after. What could be easier?
