New Years, Web 2.0 and Business Social Networking
by Paula GaonWishing all a belated Happy New Year and welcome back to BoomSpress Times. We've finally succeeded in standardizing all formats, making navigation easier for you and updating easier for us.
The
New Years well under way, ushering in constant changes in the Web.
Don't think I'll ever stop feeling like a newbie. Every time I open
email or research an issue there's a new acronym for a new technology;
social sites and multiplying like guppies. In any case, here's my take
on the current situation.
The Web is well out of infancy now.
It's at least middle age, long past the excitement of its adolescence.
Since Google's "Slap", the crackdown on spam blogs and sites whose only
purpose was to generate ad revenue, the Web must now function as a
serious medium. Whether one needs to sell, shop, research or just hang
out and rap with friends, we all want readily accesible information
without a lot of junk and confusion.
Enter Web 2.0. What the
heck is it? Well, after a few searches, the best definition that I've
seen is "participatory architecture". Makes a lot of sense when you
think about it. The medium is now so vast and ever-changing, people
(especially marketers) need to be able to exchange information, that
is, participate actively in the building of their goals. The real irony
in all of this is the fact that in spite of all of the High Tech that
we've developed in the past couple of decades, we're learning more and
more by osmosis, constantly absorbing strategies and knowledge from
millions of virtual contacts. Will wonders ever cease?
