Missed concepts of Web2.0 March 22
When people are trying do define web2.0 and trying to understand what it means, user-generated content usually comes up.
And I agree, user-generated content is THE key factor to success. But what most people forget, is why should users enter information. When we are trying to go beyond the tech-enthusiasts we need to create reasons for users to enter information. Not everyone will edit an article on wikipedia. A lot of services created today focus on the information gathering as a service in itself. I believe this will not work in the long term. The service need to be separated from the businessmodel, services should add value for the user, provide the service for free, and then focus your business around the information entered.
Visiting Webbdagarna got me inspired to write a little piece about what I believe a lot of people are missing.
Internetworld are liveblogging at the conference and they also wrote a piece about my presentation.
