….Web 2.0 is like the lyrics of a Pink Floyd number, it means different things
to different people, depending upon the state of your mind…..
Web 1.0 was Commerce
Web 2.0 is People

Should organisations even care about Web 2.0?
The world we live in..
…the consumer is in control
…..they have unlimited options
…and are avoiding advertising
Pop-up Blocker Do Not Call Registry
Markets are Conversations
Companies must– Pay attention– Participate
Who do consumers trust ?
The CEO / Ad agencies / marketers
Or
“a person like me”
i.e. other consumers or peers
Web 2.0 has put consumers in control of the conversation
Every consumer is…
… a publisher
…a DJ
…an expert
…a broadcaster
…an editor
…a network
…a critic
…if organisations want to participate in this conversation, they must acknowledge and facilitate
consumer control...
