Web 2.0 is over?
Stuart MacDonald has a post worth reading entitled Web 2.0 is over. And it’s a good thing.
So you still don’t know what web 2.0 is about, and feel you might have missed something? Not to worry. As Stuart points out this has followed the path of many innovations. They start out as the bleeding edge new thing, but eventually work their way into the mainstream.
When e-commerce first came along, many thought it was a new thing that would usurp traditional bricks and mortar stores. Like Stuart, I felt that for the most part it was just another delivery channel that existing entities would adopt.
That comment is not meant to belittle the advancement – or to suggest that there can’t be innovations that are true standalone disruptive technologies – but to show how for the most part innovations get adopted.
