As an emerging technology trend watcher it’s always interesting to watch how mainstream media is gradually picking up a story that you already have discovered. That’s exactly what is happening at the moment with the Web 2.0 concept.
Newsweek put Stewart Butterfield and Caterina Fake, the Canadian dot-com stars who created the photo-sharing community Flickr, on the cover of its April 3 issue, to go with Steven Levy and Brad Stone’s terrific story “The New Wisdom of the Web“. And just today, ABCNews.com is running an report to introduce newbies to the Web 2.0 idea, see “The Next Generation Internet” (streaming video, 8 minutes).
Among mainstream publications, Business Week seems more aware of the phenomenon than most others. It followed up its excellent cover package “Blogs Will Change Your Business” from May 2005, with a December covery story, “The MySpace Generation“.
Update: Today BusinessWeek published another article on social networking “Social Networking’s Gold Rush“.
