  Computerworld - Web 2.0 revives Internet economy 

  http://www.computerworld.com.au/index.php/id;1405075240;fp;4;fpid;1398720840

  The emergence of the next generation of Internet technology and applications has led to the coining of the term Web 2.0 to indicate that the Internet now has more capabilities than ever before. The Internet ... media companies such as Google, News Corp, and Yahoo are just some of the leaders taking advantage of this with the introduction of new services and applications. This revival of the Internet has also led in part to the re-emergence of the Internet economy, and more specifically e-commerce. The increase in broadband connections is another factor that has led to this revival according to BuddeComm. Revenue from the large range of content and services available from the Internet is rapidly increasing globally; travel, gambling, adult content, music and health services are particularly popular, and social networking services are flourishing. It is estimated that by 2010 more than $US2 billion will be spent on social network advertising in the US alone. The Internet economy is increasin   [More...] [Less...]

  Accenture: Embrace Web 2.0 cautiously - ZDNet UK 

  http://news.zdnet.co.uk/software/0,1000000121,39292467,00.htm

  Featured Talkback The fact is: Software developers today are really designers and not coders. The reason that business anlaysts exist today to model solutions is because they understand the value of designing ... software before writing it. All too often developers create code that has little value because they do not understand that business classes interact with other classes within the confines of a working model or pattern.

  http://www.pr.com/press-release/70660

  Saarbr cken, Germany, February 04, 2008 --( PR.com )-- World Pharma News project is launching a Web 2.0 pharmaceutical news platform, named as well World Pharma News but with attached '.net' extension. ... Web 2.0 generally represents knowledge-oriented social-networking platforms focused first of all on collaborative approaches. "We know that it is a very ambitious initiative but we trust in the power and in the flexibility of the coming Web 2.0 pharmaceutical solutions/interfaces, we sincerely hope that in the nearest future the term 'Pharma 2.0' will sound as well appropriate as the terms Web 2.0 or Health 2.0", assumed World Pharma News .net administrator. World Pharma News .net, by being based on the well known open source software, is following the Web 2.0 strategy of hosting, supporting and motivating the online content submission (pharmaceutical news articles).

  IT will 'take head out of sand' and embrace Web 2.0 in '08 

  http://www.computerworld.com/action/article.do?command=viewArticleBasic&articleId=312215&intsrc=news_ts_head

  February 4, 2008 (Computerworld) Corporate IT managers who have long resisted implementing Web 2.0 technologies such as wikis, blogs and social networks will likely start adding them to their priority ... lists this year, according to a report released last week by Forrester Research Inc. Of 119 companies that the research firm surveyed in the third quarter of 2007, 42% said they had no plans to invest in Web 2.0 technology. But Forrester predicts that about half of those companies will add it to their priority lists by the end of this year. Many of those firms had long called Web 2.0 technology "frivolous," but they will "take their heads out of the sand" this year, Forrester said. "Is it the year for the perfect storm, where everything comes together?" said Josh Hilliker, community manager for Intel Corp.'s vPro Expert Center social community. "If you look at the tools that are out there and the business applicability, it is absolutely that time." Intel launched the online community five   [More...] [Less...]

  Can Web 2.0 cope with second class security? | 22 Mar 2008 | ComputerWeekly.com 

  http://www.computerweekly.com/Articles/2008/03/22/229530/can-web-2.0-cope-with-second-class-security.htm

  Yet according to Ken Munro, managing director at penetration testing specialist Secure Test , rushing into Web 2.0 is the last thing you should be doing, because the consequences of getting your security ... wrong are severe. "You can get a vulnerability in a web application that is exploited one day and infects a million users the next. The potential impact is so big, it is enough to take a brand down," he says. And his remarks are not fantasy. Two years ago the Samy worm exponentially infected over a million users of social networking site Myspace, within 24 hours. Samy smashed a previous propagation record, for an internet worm, set by Code Red, July 2001, which managed only a paltry 350,000 victims after four days. Luckily for Myspace, Samy also gained some "cool" status for its benign effect: the payload amounted only to making the victim a "friend" of the worm's writer. Jonathan Armstrong, technology law partner at Eversheds, agrees with Munro's pessimism, particularly with regard to   [More...] [Less...]

  Web 2.0: new tools, same challenges 

  http://www.computerweekly.com/Articles/2007/10/16/227440/web-2.0-new-tools-same-challenges.htm

  Change has to be driven within the context of an organisational programme, transforming culture and behaviours. Tools such as social networks require cultural change in order to be widely adopted in the ... long term, as well as a real commitment to this change from the business. The new generation of workers has grown up with the internet and can provide a catalyst for this change. Search for "enterprise Web 2.0" on the internet and a number of business benefits will be touted. Blogs are going to give every employee a voice. Wikis will provide common collaboration spaces for projects. Social networking will connect your employees in thriving communities, resulting in a revolution in the sharing of knowledge. The resulting organisation will be far more agile and flexible, and will have dispensed with its traditional hierarchy and knowledge silos. All of this just from installing some software? The reality is that no organisation can, or should, expect an overnight revolution. Projects that   [More...] [Less...]
