Established mobile players face increasing competition from web-based brands and will have to adapt their commercial strategies to accommodate greater collaboration with other members of the value chain, if future revenue growth in the mobile Web 2.0 space is to be achieved. http://web2journal.com/read/589440.htmhttp://web2journal.com/read/589440.htm Thu, 12 Jun 2008 11:30:00 GMT The demand for and widespread usage of popular video sharing sites, communities of interest, social networking and personalization has increased exponentially in the past year. While multimedia services and usage are at all time highs in terms of minutes of use, service providers and content owners are still adjusting their revenue and go-to-market models toward consumers and enterprises. http://web2journal.com/read/588467.htmhttp://web2journal.com/read/588467.htm Wed, 11 Jun 2008 11:30:00 GMT Over recent years the web has seen the growth of so-called 'Web 2.0' services based around the concept of a two-way information flow, and the empowering of individuals to create and publish their own content and information through blogs, wikis, video sharing, and social networking services. Video content is often central to these services, allowing the uploading and sharing of content generated by customers, along with the emergence of video advertising on the web. http://web2journal.com/read/519876.htmhttp://web2journal.com/read/519876.htm Thu, 20 Mar 2008 14:45:00 GMT This session will provide attendees with an overview of the iPhone SDK, including discussion of the App Store, Apple's planned distribution channel for SDK applications. Keep in mind that the contents of the SDK and experiences while using it are covered under NDA, so be prepared for me to talk in generics and leave out specific details that might be covered by the NDA. I am planning on providing a quick introduction to Objective-C for those attendees who may have never seen it and might be worried that it will be difficult to code in (it isn't!). http://web2journal.com/read/471968.htmhttp://web2journal.com/read/471968.htm Wed, 12 Dec 2007 14:45:00 GMT In keeping with the longstanding SYS-CON tradition of being at the very forefront of software development with all its online and offline resources, SYS-CON Media & Events jointly today announced a double whammy, launching both 'Open Web Developer's Journal' (http://openweb.sys-con.com) and 'Open Web Developer Summit' (http://openweb.sys-con.com) - to be held for the first time in New York City April 21-22, 2008. http://web2journal.com/read/176358.htmhttp://web2journal.com/read/176358.htm Fri, 23 Feb 2007 16:30:00 GMT Welcome to the second part of this 3-part article. Much has happened since I wrote the first part: for instance, I am now a member of the Web 2.0 Workgroup and I will be speaking at SYS-CON's SOA Web Services Conference & Expo 2006 in New York City in June. Many thanks for all your feedback to the first article. http://web2journal.com/read/261386.htmhttp://web2journal.com/read/261386.htm Wed, 16 Aug 2006 15:15:00 GMT Conducting small business on the Internet is still too complicated. Women who want to launch a part-time career to augment their earnings, or who desire to create a full time business from the Web face an immense learning curve of technology and services that stop many cold. The Internet is a prime opportunity for women to create their own enterprises and it is a growing market, yet according to the Kaufman Foundation Index of Entrepreneurial Activity, women tend to substantially trail men in the creation of new businesses. A new web resource offered by Web2 Corp and its Chamber of eCommerce division may help to even things up. http://web2journal.com/read/253623.htmhttp://web2journal.com/read/253623.htm Sat, 29 Jul 2006 13:00:00 GMT Essentially, a smaller screen within the main screen on the desktop can display content originally targeted towards the mobile device, or more importantly, originally created on a mobile device. You can view it as 'widgetizing the mobile Web'. The possibilities for such a product from a mobile perspective are very interesting, starting with the fact that you could widen the distribution channels for mobile content. http://web2journal.com/read/251673.htmhttp://web2journal.com/read/251673.htm Tue, 25 Jul 2006 17:45:00 GMT I see Web 2.0 as the Intelligent web or 'Harnessing Collective Intelligence.' Mobile Web 2.0 extends the principle of 'Harnessing Collective Intelligence' to restricted devices. The seemingly simple idea of extending Web 2.0 to mobile Web 2.0 has many facets, for instance: http://web2journal.com/read/250711.htmhttp://web2journal.com/read/250711.htm Mon, 24 Jul 2006 12:30:00 GMT The Mobile web 2.0 spotlight is a collection of the best services/products in relation to Mobile Web 2.0, as I see it. In addition, I am also especially keen to highlight products from start-ups / emerging companies in this space. I am happy to receive your recommendations for excellent products / services in the Mobile Web 2.0 space. As you can imagine, the analysis is completely independent. If I have any affiliation with a company / product; I shall state that in the blog. http://web2journal.com/read/199481.htmhttp://web2journal.com/read/199481.htm Fri, 05 May 2006 10:30:00 GMT In this article, Ajit Jaokar contends that - since his e-mail, calendar and other applications are on the web, and he can store all his documents on the web too, all he needs is a browser. 'One client to rule them all! Thus, today I would use a 'browser-only' PC,' he declares. http://web2journal.com/read/190250.htmhttp://web2journal.com/read/190250.htm Fri, 03 Mar 2006 12:15:00 GMT Since I have an interest in Mobile Web 2.0 (and by extension with Web 2.0 in general), I get some interesting reactions from people.
