I’m indebted to Chris Anderson, author of the newly-released The Long Tail: Why the Future of Business is Selling Less of More, for this intriguing combination of Web 2.0 concepts. The idea of focusing on “niche” products rather than “big hits” is typically illustrated with data from publishers like iTunes or Amazon. But Anderson argues [...]

I’ve added some details to the mind-map page on the long tail concept, as well as some new details and examples in the wiki area. Also a little material on the intro page. You can download the entire 2-megabyte PDF file by clicking on the image above, or by clicking Web 2.0v008.pdf (link removed, 7/12/06).

I’ve added a few bits and pieces to various parts of the Web 2.0 mind-map, but most of the new material is on the page describing the “wiki phenomenon.” You download the current version of the entire PDF file by clicking on the image above, or by clicking Web 2.0v007.pdf (link removed, 7/12/06).

I’ve added a bunch of stuff to the mind-map today: some material on Ajax, about a dozen articles on various aspects of Web 2.0, and some material about the Long Tail. Chris Anderson’s new book, The Long Tail, just arrived today; I’m busy reading it with one hand while I’m mind-mapping with the other hand.
You [...]

I’ve added some new content about “mashups” to the section of my mind-map about “basic themes” section of my mind-map. You can download the current version of the entire mind-map by clicking on the image above, or by clicking Web 2.0v005.pdf (link removed, 7/12/06).

Here’s something to make you feel old: Dartmouth College is hosting a conference this summer, to celebrate the 50th anniversary of the beginning of research in the field of AI. Wikipedia’s article on the “history of artificial intelligence” provides a broader perspective on how AI really got started; you might want to take a look [...]

I’ve added some more content to my Web 2.0 mind-map, and have tidied up the new web site where I’m keeping all of this stuff. To avoid redundancy, I won’t post any of the new materials here; you can find it at http://web.mac.com/yourdon
June 25th, 2006
I’ve added more content to the evolving mind-map on Web 2.0, and have broken it into a multi-page document, with separate “sub-mind-maps” for each of the 10 major “branches” that you see above. There’s still a long, long way to go, but if you poke around the material, you’ll begin to get a sense of [...]

Okay, I’ve filled in some of the details around the edges of the home page for the site: some recommend Web 2.0-related web sites, a few of the personalities associated with Web 2.0, and a list of recommended books. I’ve also added a few details to my mind-map, and uploaded a new version, which you [...]
