Web 2.0 summit 2007
Where are the greatest opportunities, and the greatest risks? At the Web's edge—the places where the Web is just beginning to take root: the industries, geographies, and applications that have yet to be conquered by the Web's wide reach.
For the past three years, the Web 2.0 Summit has explored ideas which have already begun to slip into the mainstream. This year, we'll highlight news from unusual suspects—the enthusiasts and dreamers touching the edges of spaces not yet conquered by the Web, as well as established players who are looking to expand into new and previously unimaginable realms.
How is the Web infiltrating new beachheads in areas we never thought it could—or would? What are the majors doing at the edge, at the loony "twenty percent time" at Google, in the labs at MSN, IBM, etc., that might inform entirely new applications, opportunities, even threats? What are the edge startups promising to redefine the center? What are the things we wish or know the Web can do, but so far, is failing us? What are the edges in terms of policy, politics, and morality? Bericht publiceren

Business aspects of social software and collaboration
Web 2.0, social software, blogs, wikis, instant messaging. New tools and new ways of approaching communication and coordination among customers, suppliers, and partners. Software to help companies share information has been around for more than 15 years. How do the new tools intersect with existing ones? How can you best leverage new technologies for faster time-to-market and increased customer satisfaction? What is the role of security in an increasingly open supply-chain communication system? We'll examine these questions and talk about current and future technologies and trends.

Tim O'Reilly: Graphing Social Patterns Conference Keynote
I'm at the Graphing Social Patterns conference in San Jose again today. I'm covering the event for Read/WriteWeb and doing a few interviews for Read/WriteTalk
- Background on O'Reilly Media
- A Web 2.0 Refresher
- What I Want from the Social Graph?
Tim started off by talking about the idea that "new technologies first exploited by hackers, then entrepreneurs, then platform players." A few good examples were the move toward adoption of universal WiFi access or webservices from network wifi groups and screen scraping hacks respectively.
Facebook Report
Tim referenced the report on Facebook that O'Reilly Radar
A Web 2.0 Refresher
Tim started by joking about the overuse of the term 'Web 2.0'. However, he felt it was important to offer a refresher on web 2.0 in light of the discussion on the "social graph" (see our explanation of the term here). He said that really web 2.0 is ultimately about "systems that harness the network effect to get better the more people who use them." In other words, it is about building 'collective databases.' He cited a paper by Dan Brickland entitled 'The Cornucopia of the Commons: How to get volunteer labor
- Organized Manual: Pay people (ex: Yahoo! Directory)
- Volunteer Manual: Get volunteers (ex: Wikipedia)
- Organized Mechanical: Architect systems to get smarter automatically (ex: P2P)
Harnessing Collective Intelligence
Tim commented that "every true web 2.0 company is building a database whose value grows in proposition to the number of participants -- that is, a network-effect-driven data lock-in - with accelerating returns to winners." Tim repeated his oft-quoted claim that the Google Page Rank algorithm was the first Web 2.0 application. He also pointed to some recent examples, like Wesabe
Facebook Can Be Doing Better
Next Tim transitioned to how he felt FaceBook could do better leveraging collective intelligence. He focused on the confirmation questions that Facebook requests, while that data is already available on the web. For example, he talked about friend requests from employees when data on the web already confirms they are employees. Also, O'Reilly Authors have requested to friend him and Amazon already shows they are friends. The fact this data exists is something we've explored reguarly with our coverage of the Semantic Web.
Questions you should be asking?
Tim wrapped up this section of his presentation by reviewing five questions that everyone should be asking:
- Am I doing everything I can to build applications that learn from your users?
- Does my application get better with more users, or just more busy and more crowded?
- If "Data is the Intel Inside" of Web 2.0, what data do I own?
- What user-facing services can I build against it?
- Does my platform give me and my users control, or take it away from us? (note: I personally spoke about this at the Always On Conference)
Conclusion -- What I Want from the Social Graph
Finally, Tim discussed what he believes we really want from social graph data:
- I want it to reflect my REAL social relationships (mine my phone and email)
- I want it to help me manage those contacts (how to reach them, updated status)
- I want to manage groups of people
- I want it to recognize asymmetry in relationships
- I want fine grained control over what I see and what I ignore. For example, he talked about wanting to see his daughter's flickr photos but not other updates.
- I want to discover interesting people and express the actual relationship.
What do you think? Is this what you want from your social graph data?

Reisindustrie is prominent aanwezig op internet
Emerce (01-12-07)
De reisindustrie is nadrukkelijk aanwezig op internet. De nieuwe mogelijkheden van het web zoals consumer generated content, delen van multimedia en onderlinge interactie hebben met betrekking tot de reiswereld geleid tot een nieuwe term: travel 2.0.
Het woord `travel` is na `porno` het populairste transactiedomein op internet. In het afgelopen jaar werd in Europa 38 miljard euro uitgegeven aan online boekingen, aldus onderzoeksbureau Eye For Travel. Het betreft 15% van alle reisboekingen. Dit jaar groeit het bedrag naar verwachting tot 47 miljard euro, oftewel 18% van de totale markt. In 2008 komt het bedrag naar verwachting uit op 55 miljard euro, oftewel 21% van de totale markt. Ook een aanzienlijk deel van de boekingen die via fysieke reisbureaus worden gedaan, wordt beïnvloed door online oriëntatie en zoekgedrag.
Een van de problemen van interactie op internet is dat het al snel leidt tot ruzies, ongewenste promoties, betweterij, broodnijd en smaad. Grote virtuele gemeenschappen hebben echter een zelfreinigend vermogen. Deelnemers hebben snel door wanneer recensies ten onrechte overdreven positief of negatief zijn. In de nabije toekomst vormt mobiel internet een aantrekkelijk kanaal om consumenten ter plaatse toeristische informatie te verstrekken.

The state of Enterprise 2.0
The state of Enterprise 2.0 by ZDNet's Dion Hinchcliffe -- Industry analysts, CIOs, and business leaders around the world are continuing to try to read the industry tea leaves in 2007 when it comes to the subject of Enterprise 2.0, the increasingly popular discussion of using Web 2.0 platforms in the workplace. The primary topic of interest? Whether Enterprise 2.0 brings real bang for the buck by making the daily work of organizations measurably more productive, efficient, and innovative. Investors and executives are just not going to make significant bets on Enterprise 2.0 in terms of resources and risk exposure without good information on the likely returns of implementation.
The 10 top challenges facing enterprise mashups
The 10 top challenges facing enterprise mashups by ZDNet's Dion Hinchcliffe -- The promise of remixing existing online services and data into entirely new online applications in a rapid, inexpensive manner, often referred to as mashups, has captured the software industry's imagination since the release of first major example, HousingMaps.com, in early 2005. Since then, mashups have offered the potential to finally make widespread software reuse a reality, enable SOA initiatives to achieve positive ROI, and radically drive down the cost of application development while satisfying large applications backlogs that plague organizations almost everywhere.
Tuning Up Site Search - IA Summit 2007
From: ChrisFarnum, 8 months ago
Site search for portals, intranets, e-commerce, and e-service sites often fails to deliver the results that users expect. If your search system isn’t delivering on these high expectations, an important question to ask is what (if anything) has been done to configure and optimize your site search tool. Given the fact that many organizations have already made a big investment in purchasing a search engine, it makes sense to explore ways to tune up your search engine before sending it to the digital scrap heap.
If you are new to the area of site search and facing the challenge of how to rescue your site’s users from a frustrating search experience, this presentation will provide you with effective strategies, starting points and examples. It will also include opportunities for incorporating user testing and search analytics into the process of improving search. The strategies covered will range from the low-hanging fruit (taking better advantage of existing features) to the more robust solutions, which are possible when you have the option of customizing your search engine.
