Yawn. You’re Still Stuck On That Web 2.0 Thing?
It’s funny how we’re all so bored these days. We can’t settle down long enough for changes to actually occur. We’re already on to the next thing like crazed paparazzi looking for the next head-shorn celebrity to hassle and prod.
It seemed like only a few hours ago that “Web 2.0″ was hotter than Paris Hilton on the blogs, search engines, and the whole world. Now, even though the reality is that much of the business world is still operating on Web .02 (”uh…, helpdesk? How do you attach a spreadsheet to an email?”) some of the Web 2.0 demigods are already bored to tears with the ho-hum web 2.0 movement.
To them, everyone’s saying “Blah, blah, blah, Ajax, blah, blah, blah, twitter, blah, blah, blah, social media, blah, blah…”
Alan Graham of ZDNET says the following, approximately 11,760 seconds ago:
It is hard to become inspired in the world of web 2.0 these days. There seems to be so many copycat, cookie cutter business out there, that it is getting harder and harder to find the brilliant idea amongst the din of the social networking crowd.
I am not disagreeing with Alan. I want to see the next cool thing, too. But how many years did it take before we got bored with Assembly Lines as a powerful force for change in business? But, this global community collaboration thing? It’s so outdated.
But, please, will the next actually interesting idea raise it’s hand? I am too busy to pay-attention to anything that’s not actually revolutionary because I am blogging from my blackberry and juggling my hyper-synchronized online team, client and vendor calendars, while holding a conference on second-life as our global supply chain updates are sent to me by SMS, while I am holding an asynchronous “team meeting” with my geo-dispersed staff on twitter.
Next thing you know I’ll be on geico.com saving 15% or more on my car-insurance in just 15 minutes.
