Tonight I participated in a discussion about Web 2.0. Our goal for the evening was to figure out how to use Web 2.0 to take over the world. We didn't get that far, but we did have some interesting thoughts:
-- In the stock market, valuation is created when you sell your stock. In thoughts, valuation is earned when you tell someone your idea.
-- By changing our mindset to always assume our ideas will be shared, we automatically try to hone them, make them better. The good ideas will be shared, they will get better with the addition of other brains... the cream will rise to the top.
--With this paradigm in mind, my friend created a website called Learn WITT (Learn With Intention To Teach).http://www.accountingwitt.com/site/Home.html
--Substance/Form: In accounting, we think of things in this format-- If I do this, then I can do this. ex: If I buy this Hummer and wrap it with an advertisement, I can deduct the expense.
Applying this concept to Web 2.0 (online collaboration): What is the substance we want to create, and is the form going to achieve that? How do we achieve substance in Web 2.0? Do 1,000 friends on Facebook=SUBSTANCE?
-- Wikipedia is Latin for "truth." (That was a joke.)
We left off the discussion there, to be contemplated until we can have our next discussion.
My question for you guys is this:
What do you think of Web 2.0? Do you use it? How can it be useful?
