You've got a scary avatar. Tech-inclined people are always having this tendency of creating applications that only they themselves find it 'user-friendly'. It doesn't hurt to be a bit more objective and try to think alongside the regular consumer. It's great to see better tools being rolled out, the web is become more userfriendly than, say, 2 years ago. And that itself, I feel, is more important than whatever Web 2.0 Woah!

I must say, the possibilities are fairly attractive. As I see it <em>(as a non-IT person in a non-IT profession)</em>, it does add an extra element in management just like an value-added service. Yet, I can't quite define what is Web 2.0 ultimately. Not to the general public like me at least. I think if I were to implement something like this, it has to be substantial to the point that it improves the working procedures or simply, generation of revenue. When it gets too complex, will the general public want it enough to use it? Will we be looking at a circuit where geeks bury themselves in... sorta like an internal affair?
