Moving beyond Web 2.0 to Web Squared – a concept that creates new real-time internet applications based on openness and collaboration

October 13, 2009

“It is nearly five years since internet guru Tim O’Reilly came up with the term Web 2.0 to signal a second coming of the web after the dot com bust. Since that time, the core ideas of Web 2.0 – of the internet as a computing platform and of value being created by linking people and/or applications online – have also entered the mainstream. No chief information officer (CIO) can ignore Web 2.0 developments. But it is only natural to question what will come next. And according to O’Reilly, Web 2.0’s successor will be web to the power of two, or “Web Squared”.
