Once again, it’s time for an update to my Web 2.0 presentation. There’s nothing really earthshaking here, but the bits and pieces of new material help round out the overall picture of what’s happening in the Web 2.0 world. As usual, the new version is available to you in several different formats. If you’d like [...]

I’m giving a presentation on Web 2.0 technologies for the Atlanta SPIN organization tomorrow evening (for details and directions to the meeting location, click here), and I thought it would be a good idea to update the mind-map I’ve been refining and extending over the past year and a half; I’m up to version 35 [...]

I’m going to be giving a presentation on Web 2.0 in a few days for the Boston SPIN chapter (click here for details), so I thought it would be a good idea to update and revise my evolving mind-map on the topic. As usual, I’ve made it available for downloading, but it now comes in [...]

It’s been a few weeks since I last updated my Web 2.0 mind-map, and there have been some interesting developments, announcements, and new products.

As I mentioned in yesterday’s blog entry, I’ve gotten my hands on a new book by Don Tapscott and Anthony D. Williams, entitled Wikinomics: how mass collaboration changes everything. I offered a commentary on the Introduction in yesterday’s blog; today, I’ll focus on Chapter One. At this rate, it may take several weeks or months [...]

I’ve added a few new links to my Web 2.0 mind-map. You can find it in the “downloads” section of my main web site at www.yourdon.com/downloads, or you can simply download the 7.1-megabyte PDF by clicking here. Here’s a summary of what I’ve added to this version: On the “Risks” branch of the “Wiki phenomenon” [...]

Summary: (1) GoogleMaps API illustrates a business strategy accepted by Web 2.0 companies; fumbled by Web 1.0 companies; and rejected by old-world companies. (2) Google Maps succeeds because its complex, polished UI brings a smile and a muttered “how do they do that?” reaction from even jaded Internet users. (3) we’re shifting many of our [...]

Having just arrived here in San Francisco this afternoon to spend a week looking at Web 2.0 products and technologies, I had an interesting conversation with Chris Boni about Zimbra‘s open-source, Web-based collaborative email product. Unlike many of today’s Web 2.0 products and services aimed at the consumer market — of which the MySpace social-networking [...]

I’ve created yet another new version of my Web 2.0 mind-map; you can download the PDF file (a whopping 6.87 megabytes this time) by surfing over to the www.yourdon.com/downloads area of my website, or by clicking here. I’ve added several new items to the previous version of the mind-map: I added a link to the [...]
