Web 2.0 As A New Wave of Innovation?

Posted by ryuzaki0 on from the learning-2.0 dept.

Vitaly Friedman writes "In his article in the recent Educause magazine, Bryan Alexander, Director for Research at the National Institute for Technology and Liberal Education (NITLE), presents a comprehensive analysis of the rising web 2.0 companies and describes the emerging of web 2.0. From the article: ' ... larger players have entered the field, most notably Yahoo, which has been buying up many projects, including Flickr and del.icio.us. Microsoft is considering a massive extension of RSS. And Google has been producing its own projects, such as the Lens RSS reader and Google Maps. Meanwhile, academic implementations are bubbling up, like the social bookmarking and search projects noted earlier. This Web 2.0 movement (or movements) may not supplant Web 1.0, but it has clearly transformed a significant swath of our networked information ecology.'"

  2. Zombie 2.0, Better than Zombie 1.0 by Anonymous Coward · · Score: -1, Troll
    Zombie 2.0 is the zombie as platform, spanning all connected zombies; Zombie 2.0 makes the most of the intrinsic advantages of that platform: delivering death as a continually-updated service that gets better the more people die, consuming and remixing life from multiple sources, including individual users, while providing their own life and services in a form that allows remixing by other zombies, creating network effects through an "architecture of participation," and going beyond the page metaphor of Zombie 1.0 to deliver rich death experiences.

    Zombie 2.0 - you just can't put it down!

    Do you know what happens with too much buzz and hype? You let people down and make them sick up to their necks. I hate the damn Web 2.0 and have no idea what THE HECK it is anymore.

    And I'm a web developer, let alone businessmen and the casual Internet surfer.

    If you are a web developer, and you don't know what "web 2.0" is, trust me that's a good thing! In my expeirence the web devs currently embracing the term "web 2.0" are the same lot who just recently discovered that frontpage is a horrible html editor. I guess that was "web 1.0" for them? Any ways, it probably wasn't that long ago that they all sprouted opposable thumbs and climbed down out of the trees... we're not talking about the brightest among us here...
