Example


Web 2.0

"...an idea in people's heads rather than a reality. It’s actually an idea that the reciprocity between the user

and the provider is what's emphasised. In other words, genuine interactivity, if you like, simply because people

can upload as well as download" -- Stephen Fry


“[Projects] fail from a lack of clear communication. Basecamp

solves this problem by providing tools tailored to improve the

communication between people working together on a project.”

-- Basecamp website
