“Times they are a-changin’.” While many people are talking about Web 2.0, I believe we are in the mist of a revolution. Thus the name — Revolution 3.0. Some people see it and most do not.
Web 2.0 features are just a piece of the pie. Everything is changing: advertising, traditional media, telephony and more. Just a few years ago, who would have thought the ringtone business would be a $3 billion business? While our kids still socialize at the mall and the movie theatre, they are socializing and spending hours a day at Myspace and Facebook. Instant messaging and text messaging functions are part of their existence.
Yes, “Times they are a-changin.” However, things are moving so rapidly — Revolution 3.0.
I think this quote says it all: “We believe the first 10 years of the Internet were a warm-up for what’s about to happen.” — Mary Meeker Internet Analyst Morgan Stanley
While I started 2005 proclaiming: “2005 will be the year of the blog”, I am moving on to proclaim that: “2006 will be the year of Revolution 3.0.” This blog will reflect that. So, come along for the ride.
