Friday Comments Review: Web 2.0 Impacting Collaboration
I’m a little late for this… But early for next week.
Kicking off with this great post:
The goal of many of the Web 2.0 tools is to reduce the overhead. Think of it as a “flat tax” for interactions, in that many of the philosophies of Web 2.0 are around transparency and participation, in addition, everyone is equal.
If you look at MySpace, LinkedIn, Youtube or other social networks, there is no hierarchy and pretty much everyone is equal (yes there are administrators for such systems who have greater powers).
Who keeps the Internet going? No one really, there are some agreed upon standards so that one computer can talk to another, and information can be displayed in a common format, and that is about it.
By the way, my condolences for this writer’s situation; I was in similar circumstances just last year with my dad.
