Web 2.0 and this new wave of innovative initiatives and services, ranging from blogging to social networking , are comparable to a research and experimentation laboratory. Product, service, relationship and business ideas are brought to the network in BETA and tested directly in production to verify their applicability. The Beta testers, in this case differently from the scientific pharmaceutical fields, are not only happy to be the human guinea pigs, but sometimes even pay on eBay for an invitation to the most exclusive BETA Releases (as happened for GMail).
As in an experimental laboratory where, instead of drugs, groups of Chinese Student Phone Number List enthusiastic enterprising volunteers test new business and economic product solutions you will therefore have many failed tests and huge ROIs from the few experiments that work. Experimentation is also interesting with regards to business models . Although new and interesting models such as Freemium are starting to emerge , there are not yet any established, mature, stable ones (when it will be clear what they are, we will have reached 4.0). Obviously Web 2.0 is not just resourcefulness and initiative. For many "doers" there are even more "reporters", "thinkers", "writers", "uploaders" who experience the web as participation; but it is precisely the active presence of many who believe in and live the web that has relaunched the desire to do and experiment. The desire to try new paths does not necessarily have to be thought of in a technologically advanced context or in such innovative "state of the hype" services that they are difficult to understand.
In fact, there are great opportunities to reinvent traditional and consolidated sectors or to invent innovative solutions that relate to more offline contexts. To mention a reality of innovation 2.0 that relates very well to the traditional world, we can talk about books and publishing.
