The real implications of Web 2.0
Over the last couple of months, i’ve been bombared by questions about social media (or web 2.0 products) and my responses have been consistently varied on the real implications for users, brands and communities.

2) Webpreneurs, the value-store (read VC valuation) is not in content but in shaping & delivering a unique experience seamlessly across digitally converged devices. (read computers, mobile phones and other devices. The other devices are where the next wave of innovation is going to be led, and the best thing is
3) The barrier to entry, and time to market, in innovation is a thing of the past. Due to the permutations/combinations, and constant evolution of the platform itself, it is much harder for innovation to be driven top-down. The sheer nature of experience, demands it be built bottom-up.

2007
Like any other - a year to learn, adapt, grow, challenge the limits, make the most, do the best, to stand, punch and follow through, to believe, to develop instinct, to hunt, to constantly evolve every function, every task, every role, every relationship and every bit of information.
