Not a single web. Startups in an era of change
IBM’s near-synchronous access to Enterprise 2.0 and cloud computing is not just a sign of the times. This, and I think the last signal, marks the end of the second wave of start-up fever in the Internet domain.
I spoke about the first signal connected with the revolution of social platforms last year. The second signal related to the tendency of the business orientation of the social web is described in my other note .
And now the departure of "social" in the clouds puts, it seems, the last point in the process. Not only fever ends, but a whole culture, which I would call “web-based startup culture”, leaves the stage. The peculiar singers of this culture include the well-known TechCrunch, its less well-known analogue of Profy (Russian blog with an American face), and, unfortunately, the slowly dying LiveIdea, and IdeaBlog, and many other similar resources. This also includes the Habrav collective startup blog with its almost prophetic announcement “Until the bubble burst a second time”
')
In a way, I would call the manifesto of this culture a rather interesting article by a no less interesting author, which I read in Kommersant-Dengi. The article is called "Our lively web."
This article and the general understanding that the global turmoil in the world market could not be avoided almost immediately after its publication pushed me to some rather long notes, the first of which I had already posted on the iTech Bridge blog.
Indeed, being a news editor at iTech Bridge, I noticed that recent crisis events dramatically changed the tone of articles and speeches on Web 2.0. Previously, out of about ten serious materials in this area, only one predicted the inevitable collapse of the very concept of the social Internet, in the past two weeks the proportion of such pessimistic speeches has noticeably exceeded half (see, for example, [ 1 , 2 , 3 ]).
So, what is the true statement today: “ Our daily web ” or “ Not web only ” (the second article on business-oriented start-ups is located here )? I would be happy if the judges in our correspondence discussion will speak to habra people.
