Web 2.0: What, So What, Now What?

by Joseph Feller

In an effort to take stock of this growing phenomenon -- and the surrounding propaganda -- and in an effort to provide you with some unbiased no-hype analysis and guidance, we focus this issue of Cutter Benchmark Review on Web 2.0. Our academic contributor on this installment is Joseph Feller, a Senior Lecturer of Business Information Systems at University College Cork (Ireland). Providing our view from the trenches of business is Tom Welsh, a Senior Consultant with Cutter Consortium's Enterprise Architecture advisory service and former Editor of Cutter Consortium's monthly Web Services Strategies. Together, Joe and Tom pool their years of experience and do a great job dissecting the Web 2.0 phenomenon in all its facets.
