Emily Fisher, Chinwag
Description:
Five years ago Tim O’Reilly coined Web 2.0. Unquestionable innovation and the dramatic changes in online behaviour, but what’s the economic truth? A damp squib with the same players dominating or are the true changes still to come? And Web 3.0? A meaningful iteration or academic navel gazing?
Questions
Answered:
  1. Has the definition of Web 2.0 evolved in the last 5 years?
  2. How has the economics of the changed since Web 2.0?
  3. Will the dominant market players continue to dominate?
  4. Was Web 2.0 a technology platform that had little impact on business?
  5. Will the supposed social revolution drive truly new business models?
  6. If the effects of Web 2.0 are still so new, when will they have an impact?
  7. Are Web 2.0 and Web 3.0 purely technical innovations that make traditional processes more efficient but effect little real change?
  8. Is Web 3.0 an academic’s pipedream?
  9. Do the terms Web 2.0 and Web 3.0 have any real meaning and should we stop using them immediately?
  10. What is the truly revolutionary change in digital in the last 5 years?

My dream panel for this would include Alan Patrick from Broadstuff (http://broadstuff.com/) and Andrew Orlowski from The Register. Ideally this'll be a look at Web 2.0 through the eyes of seasoned commentators. Beyond the hype and five years down the line, what did it really all mean?
