Investments in Web 2.0 to grow strongly

Via this presentation by Matthias Rohs and this posting, I learned that Web 2.0 investments will grow considerably in the coming years. I also learned that, in Forrester’s view, the key hallmark of Web 2.0 is efficiency for end users.

To what degree are the companies/organizations/schools, you work for/with, using Web 2.0?

The company I work for informs its employees about various Web 2.0 applications and their use. In addition to that guidelines and policies are provided. Employees are encouraged to use Web 2.0 applications e.g. wikis, blogs, podcasting. Company communication includes for example podcasts and there are several wikis and blogs. Blogging is used on the public as well as on the internal web site.

Great input, Esther. To which degree do customers and suppliers of the company, you work for, learn from how you and your colleagues use Web 2.0 to communicate?

There is no specific communication regarding the use of Web 2.0 applications e.g. which applications are used, who uses them etc, unless in relation to special initiatives that involve such applications. However, the use and the involvement of the employees is shown by the fact that the public web site contains a large number of links and references to podcasts, blogs etc. The purpose of the public blogs provided is knowledge sharing and exchange between employees, customers and suppliers. Policies and guidelines regarding the use of the applications are reflected in the code of conduct.

Impressions from Ree Park in Denmark

I visited Ree Park in Denmark earlier this month. I had a great time there. Ree Park is an interesting Experience Economy contribution. Here are some impressions from the day, I spent there: The lemurs in the park look really cute and come really close to guests. The Cheetahs are really agile and can run more than 100 km per hour. This is what the cheetahs had for lunch. Listening to the guide talk to the large number of people watching the feeding of the cheetahs, I learned that it's horse meat. The white powder on the meat is, as I understood it, vitamins. Here's a coke machine in the park that is adapted to the surroundings. Good innovation. I think it’s a good idea to split up the park in different continents. That way, it’s easy for guests to learn about on which continents different animals live.

Trust

One of the most innovative innovation communities I have come across is Innov8rs . I experience that both in terms of how technology is used and how moderation is done, Innov8rs is moving well forward. This week, Innov8rs Connect, a free online event, takes place. The first webinar, I tuned in for, focused on trust. And it certainly did not disappoint. Both the expert, Philipp Kristian Diekhoener, and the moderator, Hans Balmaekers, conducted a wonderful jam session, during which questions, ideas and knowledge ping-ponged back and forth so well that it sounded like great music in my ears. After the webinar, I was still so excited about what happened that I decided to update research I did about  Trust  some time ago.
