Royal Pingdom » Current trends for Web terminology and buzzwords

    • A few interesting observations regarding some of the terminology:


      • “Web 2.0” peaked in 2007 and has been decreasing in 2008.
      • The ever-popular “cloud computing” actually dropped sharply late in 2008 after having been increasing rapidly since late 2007.
      • While the interest for “blogging” hasn’t changed much over the last couple of years, “microblogging” has seen a rapid rise since early 2007 (presumably due to Twitter).
      • “Blogger” has been increasing four years straight.
      • “Ecommerce” is decreasing.
      • “RSS” is decreasing.
      • “Affiliate program” saw a sharp increase during the second half of 2008.
  • Folksonomy
    Down
    Sharp rise at end of 2004. Largest peak in mid-2007 and slight downward trend since then.

What's Next After Web 2.0? Here's What You Told Us... - ReadWriteWeb

  • Sandra Foyt is looking for a "better learning/connecting hub". She elaborates: "I want a command center where it's easy to share all kinds of digital media, while being able to chat or microblog. An all in one home base, with Twitter/Flock/Ning/Wiki/Flickr/YouTube elements."

Report: Social Web Usage Tipped in 2008 - ReadWriteWeb

  • three in four US online adults now use social tools to connect with each, up from 56% in 2007. According to the report, the largest growth came from ratings and reviews, "voting" on websites, and user-generated video. Blogging and tagging were also popular.


    Forrester predicts that if growth of ratings and reviews continues at its current pace, then "reading peer recommendations will fast become a permanent stage in the purchase decision process."

  • Forrester has come up with different categories of social media usage (see image below). It claims that Creators are still growing slowly (it's now 21%), but "Critics" have increased more (to 37%). Critics are defined as people who post online reviews and comments. Collectors are at 19%, Joiners 35% and unsurprisingly "Spectators" are the biggest group with 69% of US online adults 'consuming' social media.

An Ignoble But Much Needed End To Web 2.0, Marked By A Party In Cyprus

  • The first to go will be the bulging marketing and communications departments at all those startups - the very people who make Silicon Valley such a nasty place to be in the boom times. But as the number of startups dwindle, it won’t be so hard for them to get attention from press and users, so those marketing and PR flaks won’t be missed all that much (of course, the people without jobs won’t be happy).

evhead: Ten Rules for Web Startups

  • Many highly successful companies—the aforementioned big G being one—have thrived by taking on areas that everyone thought were done and redoing them right. Also? Get a good, non-generic name. Easier said than done, granted. But the most common mistake in naming is trying to be too descriptive, which leads to lots of hard-to-distinguish names.
  • One of Google's biggest strengths—and sources of frustration for outsiders—was their willingness to say no to opportunities, easy money, potential employees, and deals.

分析：Web2.0网站民主神话的破灭(2)_互联网_科技时代_新浪网

  • 　技术博客Slashdot的仲裁系统(moderation system)也许是网络中方式的最好例证。Slashdot在采用读者提交的链接的同时，也将有限的权力赋予较为活跃的用户来规管其他用户的评论以及提交的内容。与维基百科要求小部分核心管理者付出巨大投入相比，Slashdot的做法使用户能够更容易地成为管理者。


    　　实践证明，向大量用户赋予少量的责任的做法对于消除评论中的争执诱饵和论战(flame war)非常有效。同时，由于每个管理者的权力都很小，所以网站的管理层对于哪些内容能成为头条仍然保持着控制权。


    　　Slashdot创始人罗布·马尔达(Rob Malda)说，“这种事情并不能与乌托邦相提并论。Slashdot上经常会有‘微软做了件坏事’这样的文章。如果我让整个网站都任由社区来运作，这类文章会越来越多。但我不想让Slashdot成为专门发布‘微软真差劲’消息的网站，这些内容只不过是其中一个主题。”


    　　另一种强制模式来自Helium.com，它是一个类似于维基百科的文章和社论知识库，其创始人就是硅谷资深人士马克·兰奈利(Mark Ranalli)，他将Helium比作资本主义版的维基百科。在Helium上，活跃用户为了使自己的作品成为某一主题的最佳文章而相互竞争。一旦用户写了一篇文章，就会受邀在类似主题中选择两篇喜欢的文章。这种要求人们评价之前文章的做法造就了一个更为稳定的系统：Helium鼓励每个人做每件事，而不是“生产”一群创作者和一群苦役。


    　　不能民主更不能专制


    　　每种模式都有其不足之处。与维基百科不同的是，Helium的文章缺乏来源的全面性。尽管Slashdot与其它没有监管的论坛相比，愚蠢的评论要少很多，但它也无法完全摆脱这种困扰。不过，值得高兴的是，虽然这些网站认识到Web 2.0不是神话式的民主，但它们并没有走向专制极权。如果Digg和维基百科能够摒弃由群众运营这个假象，并真正开始思考约束少数人权力的方法时，它们将会做得更好。(继中）

EarlyStageVC: Web 2.0 - Over and Out

  • Ultimately, the successful Web 2.0 companies will have built unique data assets that become increasingly differentiated and unassailable via network effects.
  • Here's how we'll know when Web 2.0 is over: when all of the major data assets that can be built out via network effects (identity, location, what Amazon calls "item authority" for stuff, time (not just for events, but say, hours of operation), and "how to") are "owned," and the "free data movement" is in full swing.
