The Dean

Kelly-Here is a place for you to give me feedback on
what shape
your web site is taking. I have added a
few links to reference
the just-about expired term
"web 2.0". The applications of web 2.0
are adding a
strong dynamic to social networking and community

sites in a big way. I feel web 1.0=commerce, 2.0=people
and the
natural progression is: 3.0=commerce+people.
Who knows what
4.0 is? Maybe commerce+people in a
3D environment (3rd Life)?
I think a real important
aspect of your site development is that

Many have focused on building community to "leverage"
it, skipping
a crucial step: Collaborating with users to
build a product or experience
that dominates the market
because it's great. It is possible to strike that
balance:
Building community, maintaining credibility, meeting
organizational
objectives.
