  O'Reilly -- What Is Web 2.0 

  http://www.oreilly.com/pub/a/oreilly/tim/news/2005/09/30/what-is-web-20.html

  The bursting of the dot-com bubble in the fall of 2001 marked a turning point for the web. Many people concluded that the web was overhyped, when in fact . Shakeouts typically mark the point at which an ... ascendant technology is ready to take its place at center stage. The pretenders are given the bum's rush, the real success stories show their strength, and there begins to be an understanding of what separates one from the other. The concept of "Web 2.0" began with a conference brainstorming session between O'Reilly and MediaLive International. Dale Dougherty, web pioneer and O'Reilly VP, noted that far from having "crashed", the web was more important than ever, with exciting new applications and sites popping up with surprising regularity. What's more, the companies that had survived the collapse seemed to have some things in common. Could it be that the dot-com collapse marked some kind of turning point for the web, such that a call to action such as "Web 2.0" might make sense? We ag   [More...] [Less...]

  A growing body of tools and practices is bringing down the cost of creating and using ‘machine-readable’ data. This is helping to advance the W3C’s vision of the semantic web which relies on an ontology ... of logical assertions about specific things and their relationships. New tools, such as OWL (web ontology language) and RDF (Resource Development Framework) are used to create the language of the semantic web. The first sector to demonstrate real commercial potential is that of enterprise applications to extend the utility of relational database management systems.   [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...]

  1 Outlook 2007 Number 3 The journal of high-performance business A coherent technology ecosystem—from infrastructure, architecture and applications to standards and support services—creates a virtuous ... cycle by making adoption of a new technology easier and less risky. As interest builds, more enterprises are likely to adopt that technology; this, in turn, strengthens the ecosystem and leads to lower costs. Soon, with large-scale adoption, the new ecosystem changes the basis of competition, which finally forces laggards (if they are still around) to adopt as well, completing an industrywide transformation. Too often, however, companies take a buyer- centric view of technology, and look for a magic bullet to solve a specific business prob- lem or a failsafe specific business opportunity This article originally appeared in the September 2007 issue of Intormation Technology Eight trends that are redefining IT By Kishore S.

  A Stale State of Tagging? David Weinberger posted a comment about Tagging like it was 2002 , which quotes . I mostly agree, but not completely. In the consumer space thing have been stagnant for a while, ... but in the enterprise space there is some good forward movement and some innovation taking place. But, let me break down a bit of what has gone on in the consumer space. History of Tagging The history of tagging in the consumer space is a much deeper and older topic than most have thought. One of the first consumer products to include tagging or annotations was the Lotus Magellan product, which appeared in 1988 and allowed annotations of documents and objects on one's hard drive to ease finding and refinding the them (it was a full text search which was remarkably fast for its day). By the mid-90s Compuserve had tagging for objects uploaded into its forum libraries. In 2001 Bitzi allowed tagging of any media what had a URL. The down side of this tagging was the it did not capture ident   [More...] [Less...]

  Google is always experimenting with new features aimed at improving the search experience. This experiment lets you influence your search experience by adding, moving, and removing search results.

Note that this is an experimental feature and may be available for only a few weeks. This button (fig. 1b) will move the result to the top of the page and add this orange marker (fig. 1a) next to it so you can easily recognize it. The result(s) you promote will appear at the top whenever you search for the same keyword(s) in the future. At the bottom of the search results (fig. 1c) you can give the address of a page that's relevant to your search. When you search for these same keyword(s) the page you've suggested will appear at the top with this orange marker . Your changes will be applied each time you search for the same ke   [More...] [Less...]

  Web 3.0 and beyond: the next 20 years of the internet - Times Online 

  http://technology.timesonline.co.uk/tol/news/tech_and_web/the_web/article2726190.ece

  In the heart of Silicon Valley, at what is referred to, somewhat romantically, as the 'web's edge', something is stirring. A new type of internet is being imagined, far more powerful that the one which ... lets you link up with your friends or watch a video uploaded by a stranger. Facebook, YouTube and the other social networks and blogs that fall within the scope of 'Web 2.0' may be beginning to penetrate the mainstream, but to those whose Cassandra-like vision lets them see the web in 2020 and beyond, they are but a pixel in a much larger picture. In a little over a decade, according to the engineers building the internet of tomorrow, the web will be able to connect every aspect of our digital lives - be it a website, an e-mail, or a file on our PC - to every other aspect. It will know, for instance, when you are typing an e-mail, what the subject of the e-mail is, and be able to suggest websites and books as well as documents, photos and videos you have saved that may be relevant to tha   [More...] [Less...]

  PC World - The 10 Biggest Web Annoyances 

  http://www.pcworld.com/printable/article/id,138872/printable.html

  The 10 Biggest Web Annoyances The new, improved Web won't deserve that name until sites make clear what they do with your private data. And online tech support gets a lot better. And... Ryan Naraine In ... its relatively short life, the World Wide Web has already made many of our most mundane, tedious tasks quicker and easier to perform. But there are still a surprising number of activities--from helping us buy concert tickets to protecting our privacy--that, for one reason or another, the Web still can't get right, stirring the ire of even the most patient users. We look at ten of the worst of them. Beyond obvious, nagging problems such as e-mail spam, phishing lures, viruses, and spyware, a great many commonplace online frustrations--some dating all the way back to the earliest days of the Web--remain unfixed. We asked visitors at our online forums to identify what they consider the most dysfunctional aspects of the Web; then . For each difficulty, we identified an "aggravation factor"--   [More...] [Less...]
