Enterprise Web 2.0

Assembling great software: A round-up of eight mashup tools by ZDNet's Dion Hinchcliffe -- There is a frequently recurring piece of software development lore that plays on the fact that good programmers are supposed to be lazy. In these stories, a good programmer will take a frequently recurring, monotonous task (like testing) and instead of doing it by hand, will instead write a piece of code once that will do the task for them, thereby automating it for future use.

Web 2.0 Survey #2 - University Students

Dear Colleagues, Students,

in order to recognize actual importance of Web 2.0 (social web, collaborative, AJAX...) services in everyday life of current young generation, we have set up a very short survey about the character and intensity of using Web 2.0 services.

Above, you'll find a poll with two questions -- so, please, answer to them!
(English is preferable; non-English answers will be translated when processing
the results.)

To get even more detailed info about concrete Web 2.0 services you use,
please, drop a comment to this post, describing what services you use,
for what purpose and how frequently.

Thank you for cooperation!!!

PS: Results will be summarized and posted here after the deadline (which is Oct 18).

Andrew Keen's Controversial Book on Web 2.0

clipped from www.icwe.net

Interview with Andrew Keen, author of “The Cult of the Amateur: How Today's Internet is Killing Our Culture”.

In my mind that is antithetical to education – the entire “the-teacher-does-not-know-more-than-the-
student-thing”. It will cause the entire premise of education to break down. On the other hand, the teacher should be a friend and not the one who tells the pupils what to do – that is totally wrong.

Andrew Keen: Essentially, my book suggests that if you do away with the editor, you do away with the ecosystem of traditional media, whether it be the editor, the teacher, the agent or the publisher. Doing away with these valuable media contributors is disastrous because you need gatekeepers for value. Without them, the dynamic will lend itself to corruption. So again, in my mind, undermining these values doesn’t help the development; it only helps new oligarchies to emerge. Even worse, these oligarchies in the Internet are often anonymous.
