What are the implications of Web 2.0 for the publishing sector? In this presentation Brian Kelly describes how various Web 2.0 technologies can be exploited by the publishing sector. The speaker argues that we are seeing a parallel with the mid-1990s, when publishers, educational institutions and similar organisations first encountered the Web. Back then there was initially scepticism, and it took some time before organisations may use of Web technologies to support their key business objectives. Web 2.0 seeks to build on the publishing paradigm of Web 1.0, by providing more user-focussed services, such as encounaging user to collaborate and produce their own content. But organisations still have concerns. This talk will seek to identify if such concerns are still valid and, if so, to explore strategies for addressing the concerns.
