What is Web 2.0?

Published January 4, 2007 2:21 PM

I've been asked about the definition of Web 2.0 several times recently. Thus, I've become hypersensitive to how other people are viewing it.

Today, I ran across a rather eloquent definition at Axel Schultze's blog for his new company, Xeequa.

"Web 2.0 is not a new release of the Internet - Web 2.0 is the culture shift from view to act, from find to share, from passive to collaborate."

Thanks Axel.

Stop the Madness

Published January 2, 2007 1:40 PM

Both Joseph Carrabis and Howard Scott decided it would be fun to tag me with current blog meme of listing 5 things about yourself (that most people don't know) and then "tagging" other bloggers to do the same.

Since I respect these guys, I'll list the 5 things but then I'm going to stop the madness. :-)

1. My last name (it's Finnish) would be traditionally spelled Mattsson.
