What does Web 2.0 look like?

One thing you have to love about ZDNet blogger Dion Hinchcliffe are his wacky infographics.

Here’s Web 2.0 and Enterprise 2.0 in a pretty scary nutshell:

Here’s what it all means. (I’ll comment on this when I have time to do it justice).

And here’s his flickr set of similar pics to spice up your PowerPoint and boggle your audience. Dion has stated that he’s fine with people re-using them, providing they’re attributed.

Thanks for the link, visit and comment, Craig! The free stuff seems to attract a lot more readers than my regular content, so I’ll keep sniffing around…

The Networks/Data/Software section could describe any IT shop. I don’t think that is what delineates Web 2.0 -> Enterprise 2.0 from good old IT. The Networks/Data/Software is what is already pre-existent. I would move a box one step higher with the moniker “Social Media/Content/Innovation”. In that box I would show the dynamic between Personal Ideas/Content and Social Integration. After all, what is it that defines Web 2.0 hence Enterprise 2.0? Isn’t the collaboration of beings in a social media experience? It is not the hardware, not the date and not the software; it is the social aspect on top of these. Could they be created without these infrastructural bases? Probably not, but, in of themselves, they are inert objects.

The last couple of lines should read:
Isn’t Web 2.0 the collaboration of beings in a social media experience? It is not the hardware, not the data and not the software; it is the social aspect on top of this troika — infrastructure. Could they be created without these infrastructural bases? Probably not, but, in of themselves, they are inert objects.

That’s an excellent point, Bob, the social experience is pretty key. I’ve written a bit more on the article and the issues around it in today’s post. Also, bonus points for the word ‘troika’, which I thought was just a dance till today.
