Well... Like it or not, the name Web 2.0 has stuck. But the defining term behind the latest Internet boom has different meanings to different people. And some have even tried changing the name. Newsweek, in a cover story, referred to it as the Live Web. Nobody bit. So, what does Web 2.0 really mean? The ideal starting point for a definition is Wikipedia, the user-written online encyclopedia that is a prime example of Web 2.0 technologies. O'Reilly Media founder and Chief Executive Officer Tim O'Reilly, who is generally given credit for coining the phrase, gives its origins in an online essay.

O'Reilly lists several key components of Web 2.0: "That's hard-nosed business," he said.

Le nombre de mobinautes ayant testé le m-commerce devrait encore progresser à mesure que se développeront sites et applications mobiles transactionnelles.

Startup Wants to See More Love, Less Porn in Internet Sex Films Serial entrepreneur Cindy Gallop dreams of a future with Internet porn. However, she hopes you won't have to smack your laptop shut to hide that explicit web content. She's aiming to redefine the selection of sex films available online. In 2009, Gallop gave a TED Talk explaining a phenomenon she's experienced dating men in their twenties. Gallop, now 52, says Internet porn has become de-facto sex education, teaching young men that "real sex" should look like the sex they see performed by professional actors (her TED Talk includes graphic examples of the behaviors she's encountered). "It used to be that maybe a kid found his dad's Playboy magazine," Gallop told Mashable. "I want to socialize sex. During her TED Talk, Gallop launched MakeLoveNotPorn.com, which was not intended to be the start of a business — Gallop already had her hands dirty with another startup, If We Ran the World, and seriously advises against working on two startups at once.

Is a Blogger a Journalist? | John C. Dvorak The case of Crystal Cox, a self-professed "investigative blogger" from Oregon, should outrage the public. The woman was investigating targeted companies that she believed to be acting unethically and found herself at the wrong end of a lawsuit. The evidence she had unearthed concerning a Pacific Northwest finance group she was after and the sources she used seemed, in the end, immaterial to the outcome of the lawsuit against her. I won't get into the details of Cox's case since my concern is the definition of journalist, but you can read more here." The judge, recent Obama appointee Marco Hernandez, asserted that as a blogger with no other credentials, she was not a journalist and was entitled to no protection. Apparently, there are now new qualifications for journalists. In this instance, the concept of the "press" means any dissemination of information through a communications medium. More importantly, when we look at journalists' rights, there are no admissions whatsoever.
