Web 3.0 is like Ponoko
Image by TheAlieness GiselaGiardino²³ via Flickr No not pinocchio, this is Ponoko. What is Ponoko you ask? “…the world’s largest marketplace for product plans. Creators and consumers use these plans to share, buy, sell and make individualized goods.” So people can make, share, sell and buy…well, stuff. Ponoko has started out making a framework, they [...]
Not content – Context is King!
Image by motionblur via Flickr If there is one thing my circle of friends (Jason, Annette, Nick and Abe) would agree that I say way too much is it’s all about the conversation – we need to engage people in a real life convo. So when I read Steve Raye’s post @ social media today, [...]
Forums 2.0?
Source: WikipediaI love forums – and really they have been around forever. (Pre-internet is forever you know.) But I am really frustrated that there has been very little innovation in the area.

Definition: Cloud Computing

Fear of Web 2.0
I found this article that talks about enterprise and web 2.0 – it explains how enterprise is divided on the new technologies…they know they need to adopt – but they are not comfortable with “cloud” computing. In adoption of Web 2.0 the biggest pushback was from IT – whether right or wrong the article stated: [...]
