Web 2.0 Bis

Tim O'Reilly, celui-qui a créé la tendance du Web 2.0 donnait récemment un discours aux étudiants de UC Berkeley School of Information.

"Most of you probably know that I've been evangelizing an idea that I call Web 2.0, the idea that the internet is on the verge of replacing the personal computer as the dominant computing platform.

And as you know, platform shifts are times of enormous disruption and enormous opportunity."

Il définissait aussi à nouveau le concept du WEB dans sa mouture de réseau social ou d'amplificateur de l'intelligence collective.

"A true Web 2.0 application is one that gets better the more people use it. Google gets smarter every time someone makes a link on the web. Google gets smarter every time someone makes a search. It gets smarter every time someone clicks on an ad. And it immediately acts on that information to improve the experience for everyone else.

It's for this reason that I argue that the real heart of Web 2.0 is harnessing collective intelligence. ...The world of Web 2.0 *can* be one in which we share our knowledge and insights, filter the news for each other, find out obscure facts, and make each other smarter and more responsive. We can instrument the world so it becomes somethng like a giant, responsive organism."
