Some guys from the HdM Stuttgart did a nice TV documentation on “the” Web 2.0:

• barcamping
• Web 2.0 Expo Berlin
• Interviews (partially english) with
  • Alpha Geek Tim O’Reilly
  • Enterpreneur Peter Ambrozy
  • Blogger Oliver Gassner
  • and many many more web 2.0 “aware” people
• and you won’t believe it: economic background

The film was sponsored by dmc, Cisco & Otto, broadcasted in german TV on 3sat and ZDF. It will be “reloaded” tomorrow 31.07.2008 13.30h on ZDF-infokanal.

Have a lot of fun!

Yesterday at the OSCON 2008 in Portland the launch of the “Open Web Foundation” was announced. This is a solid approach towards Open Web standards

• TechCrunch news about the launch of the Open Web Foundation
• Open Web Foundation Members so far
• OSCON Slides of the Session by David Recordon

The small but nice T3N magazine on “Web 2.0, PHP, CSS, TYPO3, Linux” announced a press release by BITKOM that states, that “the business” starts to use bleeding edge technolgies like Blogs & Wikis for internal & external communication. It goes on starting with a funny situation

• The new technology came from private sector & community to the enterprise, inversing the typically direction
• Social Network features are more & more used to organize employees over geographical or organizational barriers
• 2/3 organisations using Web 2.0 technologies made “positive experience”
• The reasons “against Web 2.0″ were
  1. unclear benefits
  2. fear of unclear cost
  3. Security concers

I’d say: “we can work it out” :] Contact your local web guy!
