Will You Add? - Web 2.0 Makes Us Young Again
Advertising and Service Company Business Models Considered Not all Business Service Companies should invest in advertising to promote their companies. But I thought all businesses must advertise to stay in business? Well not all of them and let me tell you why. Once you have a secured number of customers you may not wish to advertise because you cannot take anymore work or you do not want any At the end of the day, we must all learn to embrace and love the new era of Web 2.0, and not just because of all the cool new gizmos, improved communications and media. More importantly, Web 2.0 reminds us that there is life after the dot-com crash. After a long period of recovery, we finally have permission to be hopeful again -- and maybe even take up day trading? Yes, hope springs eternal, and Web 2.0 makes us feel young all over again. Paul Lamb is a consultant, writer and techn So-called Web 2.0, the latest round of interactive, Internet-based tools and services, is to be our salvation. Raising their iPod-clutching fists to the sky, the technorati are demanding we take note of a new, golden era, where we can be online everywhere and in every way. Our happiness, like cable TV and satellite radio, is to be on-demand. I for one am happy to have evolved beyond dial-up Internet, cell phones only good for telephone calls and scotfree file swapping. I truly pity the curmudgeons among us who remain nostalgic for a simpler, lower-tech time. True, it was a time without terrorism, a time without overseas job outsourcing, but a time also without TiVo. Life is so much easier and hassle-free now that MP3 players offer us a blessed excuse not to hear or talk to anyone we don’t care to. And soon we will be freed from having to look at people as well, turning our attention instead to TV and movies displayed conveniently on our cell phones and other portable devices. How liberating it will be to be able to watch TV outdoors while jogging, hiking or riding a bicycle! The hunger for that kind of boundless freedom is certainly what makes America the worldwide leader in innovation. There are other advantages of Web 2.0 as well. Kids are kept away from predators now that they play on a PlayStation instead of in the park, and teenagers are significantly less prone to physical violence from their peers by virtue of living on MySpace.com and communicating only by instant and text messaging. Natural resources will not be depleted as people refrain from traveling and instead visit virtually. Aunt Millie will be so delighted to get a videoblog, instead of having to feed the whole family, on her birthday. At the end of the day, we must all learn to embrace and love the new era of Web 2.0, and not just because of all the cool new gizmos, improved communications and media. More importantly, Web 2.0 reminds us that there is life after the dot-com crash. After a long period of recovery, we finally have permission to be hopeful again -- and maybe even take up day trading?
