“Web 2.0 Is F*Cked”

"The end of Web 2.0 and the dawn of a new age of individualism, driven primarily by Twitter".


First impression: bit of an overstatement. And - is twitter not based on and driven by web2.0? Agree with Marcus Ogawa: "Culture is often labeled as a time period, but its influences will always be eternal... It’s not “fucked” its just going to be folded into the every changing culture and reintroduced as mainstream elements."

StevePB: "I find it shocking and fundamentally disconcerting that from Keen’s diatribe (and most of the comments) that something (e.g. Web 2.0 site/tool/product) has to generate revenue in order to be worthwhile."

And Web 2.0 does generate profit, it just doesn’t flow to all the players in the right way yet. The formulas will change. Apple and AT&T are making money from Web 2.0 - Facebook and Youtube drove a lot of iPhone sales. Web 2.0 enabled this ecosystem

Enough stating the obvious.. what am i gonna wear to the F1 party tomorrow eve?

The Twitter Wingman

According to Wired’s Danny Dumas and Steven Leckart, Twitter is introducing the Wingman, a handheld, pager-like device for all things Twitter on the go.

Very cute! But who'd want to carry an extra piece of gadget on top of mobile phone and ipod and a camera... on the go? I wouldn't - my bag is the size of an A16 size notebook and i choose to have my phone every time. Why not simply a mobile app - esp. with 3G coming soon to China and 4G the rest of the world. Question is, what are the tech constraints for such app?
