I got it!! Web 2.0

I have spoken to many people about Web 2.0 in the past year or so. It is a very interesting subject that most people including myself do not get"it" at first glance. It is more of an experience than a entity, subject or thing. I remember the first time that the light bulb went off in my head. That is, the enlightenment of Web 2.0. I was with a friend of mine and her daughter was texting while talking with us, she was also not looking at the keyboard. That is when I got it, this new phenomenon of nonverbal communication; A new medium was happening and I was not a part of it. From then on I was hooked, I participate on all types of social Web 2.0 mediums such as twitter and facebook...

Many of the non-believers out their ask 'what the hell for". I personally have made friends and acquaintances all over the world. Conversation that are more that just TBS (thumb Bull Sh..). Real conversation about important stuff such as medical informatics. I've spoken to doctors in Argentina about ways to communicate with their doctors via twitter and held Open Source Electronic Medical Record Systems discussion with an IT guy in Africa. The world is getting smaller everyday and Web 2.0 is a great way to embrace it.

As for the business proposition there are many. I consult for a company that provide Opt-in text advertising. They are currently working in what I call the "texting world", that is straight forward texting, sign-up by providing your cell phone number and you get special offers. Very cool and they have a huge head start on the market. The next step as I see it is combining straight forward text advertising with social networks. By the way, I am currently working on that. Again the possibilities are limitless and we haven't even began talking about all of the virtual worlds that are out there such as secondLife.com. One world is enough for now.
