Does Clipmarks have what it takes for the New Web

Don Tapscott and Wikinomics

Wikinomics
captures the essence of what it means, and will mean, to live in the so-called Web2.0 world, and provides a clear vision of the sorts of behaviours and thinking that will be required to succeed in this world - in business, in education.. in life.
  • reference made to the looming 'perfect storm' - a convergence of four forces:
    1. Technology
    2. Demographics
    3. Social
    4. Economic
  • Web2.0 is at the centre of the Technology 'storm' - where the object of interest is changing; from the desktop to smart, communicating devices, from HTML to XML, and from consuming to participation.
  • "Success in the old paradigm becomes intertia in the new one" - a great quote when considering why current leadership practices may not be preparing us for the future!
  • "Vested interests fight against change" - quotes the example of the music industry facing the issue of music downloads through social networks. Tapscott challenges them to think of music as a service rather than a product.
