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.

I’m still absorbing some of the information that was published yesterday on the Google Phone alliance, and I don’t have any sources of “inside” information. My initial feeling is that, while it may take a few years to play out, Google’s strategy of an open-source, software-dominated mobile platform has a good chance of beating Apple’s […]

At the suggestion of IBM’s knowledge-management/social-networking wizard, Luis Suarez (not to be confused with the football and baseball players also named Luis Suarez, described here in Wikipedia!), I downloaded a new Web browser called Flock last night (click here to see Luis’ review of Flock). A beta version has been available for quite a while, […]

This has been a busy week in the Web 2.0 world, especially with yesterday’s announcement of Microsoft’s investment in Facebook. So I’ve added some new items to my Web 2.0 presentation, and have made it available in the two familiar formats. If you would like to view the material on the Web, as an open, […]

I’ve made a few more updates to the Web 2.0 presentation material, in preparation for a 2-day seminar that I’ll be giving in Rome next week (click here for details).
