During three hectic days at the Web 2.0 Summit conference in San Francisco last week, I picked up a number of interesting factoids, statistics, links, references, and other items to incorporate into my ever-growing Web 2.0 presentation. In addition, I found a few broken links in the existing material, and have fixed them. (If you happen to notice that any of the hyperlinks are pointing to yahoo.com instead of something more appropriate, please let me know.)

As usual, the Google Docs version of the material can be accessed by clicking here; if you want to become a collaborator and make additions/corrections/improvements of your own, send me an email. If you’d just like to look at the material and use it as a resource, you might prefer to download the 18.5-megabyte PDF file, you can do so by clicking here.

Here’s a summary of the additions and refinements that I’ve made to the material:

1. On page 5, I inserted a JPG thumbnail picture of the Michael Wesch YouTube video, “Vision of Students Today.” I also put a couple links to his bio on the same page.
2. On page 10, I added a parenthetical note that Craigslist is 30% owned by eBay, which was mentioned by Meg Whitman during her interview/conversation at the Web 2.0 Summit conference.
3. On page 12, I added a bullet point indicating that the “Web as platform” concept is still at the early adopter stage, as illustrated by a statistic from Intuit at the Web 2.0 Summit Conference: there are 1.5 million copies of the PC-based version of Quickbooks, but only 125,000 installations of the web-based version of the same product.
4. On page 13, I created a new page that summarizes the benefits of a web-based platform for business applications.
5. On page 14, I created a new page that summarizes the risks of a web-based platform for business applications.
6. On (new) page 31, I added a note indicating that most Yahoo Pipes processing is done on the server, while most Microsoft PopFly processing is done on the client.
7. On (new) page 45, I added some statistics about the number of users, visitors, and photographs on the Flickr site — based on data from a presentation at Web 2.0 Summit conference.
8. On (new) page 63, I added a note indicating that Dapper is an Israeli-based company, and that it has a partnership with Microsoft.
9. On (new) page 66, I added a bullet point indicating the need to design Web 2.0 products/services to accommodate the need for rapid scaling a large user base.
10. On (new) page 83, I added a hyperlink to Marissa Mayer’s bio on the Google website.
11. On (new) page 89, I added a bullet point based on a comment from Meg Whitman at the 2007 Web 2.0 Summit conference: 98% of the content on eBay is user-generated; I also provided a link to the Wikipedia bio page for Meg Whitman.
12. On (new) page 95, I added a bullet point indicating that Google mail is a good example of the “perpetual beta” theme of Web 2.0.
13. On (new) page 97, I created a new page with several points about the tendency to resist paradigm-shifts — e.g., blogging and user-generated content in the Web 2.0 world.
14. On (new) page 101, I added a bullet point noting that in today’s world, we find content, but not easily — because we often type the wrong search term. In tomorrow’s world, content finds us — because it will “know” what we want to see/read
15. On (new) page 107, I added a bullet point reflecting a prediction from John Battelle at the Web 2.0 Summit: while today’s Web content is mostly entered by humans, the new trend will be Web content automatically entered by autonomous devices (e.g., photos automatically uploaded to Flickr from our digital cameras)
16. On (new) page 108, I added a bullet point with a statistic from Mary Meeker’s presentation: 91% of today’s mobile phone users keep their phone within one meter (of themselves) 24 hours a day, 7 days a week; I also added a link to Mary’s bio on Wikipedia.

I expect to have another set of updates to this material on either Monday or Tuesday; stay tuned…
