What is Web 2.0?
Photo: Don J. McCrady
- quot;The central principle behind
the success of the giants born
in the Web 1.0 era who have
survived to lead the Web 2.0
era appears to be this, that
they have embraced the
power of the web to harness
collective intelligencequot;
- Tim O’Reilly, 2006
- “The Semantic Web is not a separate
Web but an extension of the current
one, in which information is given
well-defined meaning, better enabling
computers and people to work in
cooperation”
- Tim Berners-Lee, 2001
- Both are Ecosystems
Semantic Web: interaction between machines
Social Web: conversations between people
- Integrated intelligence
Individual intelligence
Computer intelligence
Integrated:
Collective intelligence
(networked)

- How?
- Expansion strategies
1. Create an API (Application Programming Interface)
2. Distribute source as Open Source (e.g. Sugar CRM)
3. Create developer ecosystem (e.g. Amazon)
4. Create browser plugins (e.g. del.icio.us)
5. Create plugins for other platforms (e.g. blogging)
6. Create embeddable widgets (e.g. Meebo)
7. Advertise on AdSense (e.g. everyone)
8. Utilize SEO (search engine optimization)
- Even more importantly....
Give something valuable for free
- Example revenue of X
■ 40% premium memberships
■ 42% Adsense
■ 10% selling one ad directly to advertiser
■ 5% text link ads
■ 3% referall money from amazon.com and linkshare
Minimal self funded startup costs, focus on a specific
community, value created to the user base through a clever
combination of services driving repeat visits and premium
subscription, viral growth, advertising revenues and eventually
(hopefully juicy) sponsorships.
