Web 2.0 – The Next Disruptive Technology by John F. McMullen (johnmac -- The following was printed as a letter in the October 2008 issue of Analog Magazine. Note: Stanley Schmidt is the editor of Analog). I just started Stanley Schmidt's "The Coming Convergence" and, after reading the first two very well-written chapters, cheated went right to Chapter 8 – "The Explosion in Information Technology" (after reading the first 2 chapters, 45 years in the IT business made me want to see how the threads established early in the work play out in my field), I think that the analysis of change in IT was right-on – but might have gone even further in exploring the importance of the newest paradigm shift in IT, the next truly "disruptive technology" – Web 2.0

On Blogging: Three Books by John McMullen One of the earliest Web 2.0 manifestations to reach public awareness was “blogging”, the Web publication of anything any person with Web access wished others to read. The operative words here are “anything” and “any person”; all one needs is a connection to the Internet and the use of a free tool, such as “Blogspot” or “WordPress”, and away she/he goes. |

Marketing 2.0 by Barbara McMullen I received an informative article from a reader, Nathan Gavin, who works for Mzinga, a company that offers on-demand social software solutions for marketing, support and learning. The article, entitled “Marketing in the World of the Web” was written by TOM HAYES and MICHAEL S. MALONE for the Wall Street Journal. The subtitle is “Bemes, clouds and My Space: Welcome to the brave new world of retail.” Profound changes are underway in the retail world and marketing. |

Technology in the cloud |

Just What is the Cloud? by Stan Veit There is nothing as nebulous as a cloud and so it is with the various Internet services being offered to business and industry on the World Wide Web. The vendors offer to supply not only the applications, but to provide the data storage, content management and customer management, all this without the client having anything more complicated than an Internet-ready computer and browser. |

Enterprise 2.0, According to Tim O’Reilly by Barbara McMullen It is appropriate, in this first issue of Web 2.0 The Magazine, to refer to the recent blog entry by Tim O’Reilly entitled “Google, WalMart, and MyBarackObama.com: The Power of the Real Time Enterprise” (December 27, 2008). After all, O’Reilly gave Web 2.0 its name when they launched the first Web 2.0 Summit in November, 2008. Web 2.0 is a classic disruptive technology as O’Reilly points out. In his blog entry. O’Reilly explains what is at the heart of Enterprise 2.0, a transformation that does not resemble “the trendy labels given to marketing campaigns of companies such as Dell’s IdeaStorm and MyStarbucksidea.”
Welcome to the Cloud (Again) by William F. Slater, III, PMP This article discusses the computing phenomenon, “Cloud Computing” which has become for the early part of the 21st century, a similarly hyped term like “client/server computing” was in the 1990s. I have been an active participant in both of these trends (see my byline). With Cloud Computing the future of powerful, economical computing will be as close as the browser on your computing device. |
