PDFWeb squared: Web 2.0 five years on
audioTim O'Reilly and the concept of web squared

23 August 2009At the first web 2.0 conference in 2004, Tim O'Reilly and John Battelle argued that "the network as platform" means building applications that literally get better the more people use them. Five years on they survey the changes and make some predictions for the future.

The Web is no longer a collection of static pages of HTML that describe something in the world. Increasingly, the Web is the world -- everything and everyone in the world casts an "information shadow," an aura of data which, when captured and processed intelligently, offers extraordinary opportunity and mindbending implications. Web Squared is our way of exploring this phenomenon and giving it a name.
