I proceed from the assumption that as knowledge workers our primary job is to communicate.

Communication is not overhead, it's the work.

Chris Denthttp://www.burningchrome.com/~cdent/mt/archives/000435.html

Conclusions (1/3)

1. Markets are conversations.

95. We are waking up and linking to each other.We are watching. But we are not waiting.

Levine, Locke, Searls & Weinberger (1999)The Cluetrain Manifesto

Conclusions (2/3)

Establishing open access as a worthwhile procedure ideally requires the active commitment of each and every

individual producer of scientific knowledge and holder of cultural heritage. Open access contributions include

original scientific research results, raw data and metadata, source materials, digital representations of

pictorial and graphical materials and scholarly multimedia material.

Berlin Declaration on Open Access to Knowledge in the Sciences and Humanities

From Web 1.0 to Web 2.0The web 1.0 is the dot-com bubble. The web from 1995 to 1999.The web 2.0 is the “web of the people”. The web from 2003 on.

The personal page → The blogDirectories (taxonomies) → Tagging (“folksonomies”/”tagsonomies”)The Hotmail experience → The GMail experience

Say...

Content creation, management and publishing made easyFrom a “centralist” organization to the “wisdom of crowds”From the static page to the dynamic web application

Standards: (X)HTML, CSS, Semantics, MicroformatsTags and “folksonomies”

del.icio.us and FlickrThe boom of “social software” and architectures of participation

Digg and SlashdotThe Long Tail

AmazonRich user experiences

GMail, Google Local, ajaxWrite, ajaxSketchWeb services, open APIs and mash-upsContent syndication
