Blogging and web2
The internet and web2. Some people call it a hype, others live for it.
To me, it’s nothing more than a way of naming the current trends in webtechnology. The user/visitor is given a more central role, has a lot more input and advantages to the website (take for example digg.com and myspace.com).
At this very moment, millions and millions of euros (dollars) are being pumped into ‘revolutionary?’ web2 start-ups. If you want to have some insight, check out sites like techcrunch.com and killerstartups.com.
Everyone wants a piece of the pie, and everyone is an entrepeneur.
Now, the fun part. 99% of the time, these entrepeneurs have blogs to. We can devide these entepeneurs into two classes. You have the ones that have proven themselves succesfull (read: made millions of $$), and on the other side, you have the ones thinking they are going to make lots of $$.
I want to talk about the first category. Yea, you know who they are. The elitists.
The ones that get invited to conference after conference. Telling everybody how great this new web experience is and how we all should embrase it. Always busy busy dealing with a new start-up. Shareholder here, board member there. The money is everywhere!
Don’t get me wrong, I’m not calling everyone a big meanyhead. Sure, I have respect for lots of people. People who have indeed set a milestone on the map. But come on, wake up and smell the coffee man.
I think we can describe the whole web2 thing with one image. Needs no more.
