I’m giving a short presentation on the “future of Web 2.0″ at a CIO roundtable session in Chicago on May 12th. You can download the 14.2MB PDF version of the presentation:

Almost exactly a month ago, I blogged about “blogging vs. micro-blogging“. I now have a couple more pieces of data, which I think confirm the points I made in that first blog.
During the past month, I’ve written approximately 450 short “micro-blog” messages on Twitter; that works out to approximately 15 “tweets” a day. During the […]

Here are a couple of interesting statistics: the current version of this blog was launched on April12, 2006 — which means it’s almost exactly two years old. During that time, I’ve posted 404 blog entries, not counting this one.

I’ve been slowly accumulating new Web 2.0 material during the past month, and it’s time for an update. As usual, you can access the presentation in a variety of formats, although I haven’t yet had time to upload the “ugly Betty” version to Google Apps. For now, you can view it, and/or download it, from […]

Michael Krigsman has a provocative posting this evening on his ZDNet blog titled “Twitter is Dangerous.” Michael, who is a very smart guy whose opinions I respect, seems to enjoy starting debates by making such provocative statements … and since I seem to be suffering a bit of indigestion from too many garlic-laced French Fries […]

Bottom line: Google is going to begin hosting a hosting a collection of author-expert postings on various topics, in the hopes that it will represent an alternative to the collection of 2+ million anonymous community-homogenized articles on Wikipedia. My prediction: yes, it will probably succeed (regardless of whether it’s a good thing or a bad […]
