 Web
2.0 Technology
Web 2.0 is not a bolt on feature of the Internet. The intention and tools
have always been there since the beginning. It has only gained recent
popularity in recognizing that the power of online social networks help
build business. This is where the phrase The Long Tail comes into play
where companies are relying on user-driven content creation. Crowd sourcing
is a common business model from this user generated innovation.
Web 2.0 sometimes changes business marketing models. Viral or gorilla
marketing, buzz or word of mouth marketing, and New Media marketing are
examples of how companies are changing their approach to building their
businesses with Web 2.0.
HOWEVER, using and applying Web 2.0 within businesses and enterprises
is not advised nor the same thing. That is where Enterprise 2.0 comes
into play. Web 2.0 encourages horizontal approaches to collective intelligence
and knowledge sharing, whereas enterprises are more use to a vertical
hierarchy of knowledge dissemination. Companies have very little conceptual
models to show what value social software can bring to their organizations.
