What Happens After Web 2.0? Should You Care?
Many small businesses are struggling just to make their web sites look half decent. While there's millions of blogs, only a few small businesses are serious and active participants. Email newsletters appear to be growing but there's still room for growth.
With this dismal picture in mind who has time for, or can think about Web 2.0? If you want to extend your communication options beyond the "norm" you have to think about how you can squeeze every advantage out of online communications. The internet makes it not only easier, but more cost effective to do more with less.
