I know we’re all digital people but I’ve always been a big fan of ‘black and white and read all over.’
So I’m thrilled to see the theme of Web 2 Summit included in this USA Today article:
Everything from cellphones to common digital cameras is “being turned into eyes and ears for applications,” says Tim O’Reilly, the founder of O’Reilly Media who is credited with inventing the term Web 2.0. “Data is being collected, presented and acted upon in real time. It’s all about immediacy and instantaneous data.”
The need for speed
The need for data speed has inspired O’Reilly to come up with a new phrase, “Web squared,” to describe the evolution of the Web as we know and use it. O’Reilly and John Battelle, founder of Federated Media Publishing, coined it in a white paper preceding their Web 2.0 Summit conference in San Francisco next month.
