Thingy 15 - web 2.0

Oooh, I'm skipping out of order here. Web 2.0 is nothing new
to me, I've got the link to a blog/website that deals exclusively
with this topic, plus one of my early posts was a link to an article
"Web 2.0 is it Dead?" ... So this is something I've followed awhile.

I like the rehtoric, but I think that the practical implementation and
the actual implications of rolling out this techology may make the
central authority types very very nervous indeed. For in its simplest
self, it ceeds much power and control to the lower ranks.... it equalizes
the footing if you will. Now, you *have* to trust and back up your
staff... and you have to encourage innovation in the ranks.

For progressive organizations, this won't be a problem, rather a blessing.
For those organizations where the cultures don't embrace and
or permit the full implementation of the technology, there will be problems....

Ultimately, it will be very interesting to see the way in which this develops,
and the service enhancements that arise out of.

See my link under "fave links" to the Web 2.0 site...worth a look.
