Clarity and Vision
This was an amazing presentation. Salim presented 2 graphics on the evolution of the Internet that were so clear they left me questioning "why didn't I see that?". I can't begin to review all the insights I took away, but here are two: 1) The pattern of Internet information exchange we're now seeing is event based (notify me whenever "x" happens) rather than data based. Rather than going out and searching the river of information, we can use RSS feeds and aggregators to bring information we're interested in to us. Events are important because businesses run on events, not on data. A new customer, a new price, a new order... these are events that drive business. [As an aside, one of the reasons why large ERP implementatations are problematic is because they are primarily data based.] Web 2.0 gives us a lightweight event management structure. 2) The more stucture information has, the more valuable it is. But the more structure it has, the harder it is to use. |
