Web 2.0 Acid Test

2nd of October 2005 by admin

As we prepare for the Web2.0 conference, Tim O’Reilly has a great article on “What is Web2.0″.

Ian Kennedy of Yahoo has a great summary on Tim’s article, as well as the “web2.0 company acid test”

* Control over unique, hard-to-recreate data sources that get richer as more people use them

* Software above the level of a single device
* Lightweight user interfaces, development models, AND business models
