Web 2.0 Acid Test
2nd of October 2005 by Fergus Burns
As we prepare for the Web2.0 conference, Tim O’Reilly has a great article on “What is Web2.0″.
(btw, I always guessed Tim had Irish blood…)
Ian Kennedy of Yahoo has a great summary on Tim’s article, as well as the “web2.0 company acid test”
* Services, not packaged software, with cost-effective scalability
* Control over unique, hard-to-recreate data sources that get richer as more people use them
* Trusting users as co-developers
* Harnessing collective intelligence
* Leveraging the long tail through customer self-service
* Software above the level of a single device
* Lightweight user interfaces, development models, AND business models
