Wiki for the [Webstock] Web 2.0 debate.

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

delicious, flickr - i collect for me, i define on my own terms, i share flickr vs ofoto

the means of production have never been more accessible, and more powerful ruby on rails

Web as platform: The video

read write platform

web OS

amazoning the news

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!
