Web 2.0 debate
Our position is to argue against the statement: "Web 2.0 is all fizz and no substance"
Philip's Notes
web 2.0 = different mindset, tools are (nearly) the same as Web 1.0 style vs substance? maturity of the tools: browsers + javascript + databases maturity of the market: wikipedia, blogs, myspace - people now have the mindset/expectation to write online, not just read
the means of production have never been more accessible, and more powerful ruby on rails
read write platform
web OS
network effects - better the more people use it
business ebay, trademe, craigslist - marketplace reaching customers around the world
connecting with friends and family making new friends
shescrafty, turntable - working for clients around the world via email, chat, web
Brenda's Notes
- the body of web 2.0-ish content is substantive in itself
- numbers of blogs
- wikis
- This guy has an interesting take on twitter - that essentially it helps middle-aged men connect with each other and be part of the world ... odd that!
