The Future of Web 2.0
This month’s issue of the Technology Review Magazine focuses on The Future of Web 2.0. It was a great read and I read the magazine from cover to cover. If you don’t get the actual magazine, you can read all of the articles online (You will need to register before you can access the articles. Registration is free).
In this issue of Technology Review, we examine how social networks might make money; why the ownership of personal data on Web 2.0 sites is so fraught an issue; and how the Internet will support the swelling tide of rich media that people are sharing. We also identify 10 Web 2.0 startups that we think are particularly promising, and visit the offices of one of our favorite new ventures, the microblogging service Twitter. Finally, we ask some of the founders of the Web and its contemporary innovators to tell us: “What will be the future of the Web?”
Below are links to all of the articles online:
