[Hidden-tech] Studies/Surveys on Effectiveness of "Web 2.0"

[Charles Uchu Strader]

Philip,

Great question.  Here's a great reference on how defining "Web 2.0" as a 
term, with any real qualitative or quantitative measures is itself a bit 
of a cloud! (pun intended for those geeks out there)   So best of luck 
to finding data that shows clear results on it's effectiveness...a 
better question may be "How is the Internet useful to helping small and 
medium sized businesses grow?"

ref: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Web_2.0

"Whether Web 2.0 is qualitatively different from prior web technologies 
has been challenged by World Wide Web inventor Tim Berners-Lee, who 
called the term a "piece of jargon" --- precisely because he intended 
the Web to embody these values in the first place."

Cheers,

Charles Uchu Strader
