8. Does this story resonate? Once upon a time, a technology is announced that generates significant press and industry interest. There’s a period of over-enthusiasm and unrealistic projections, a flurry of well-publicized activity by technology leaders…some successes, but more failures…The only enterprises making money are conference organizers and magazine publishers.

There’s a period of over-enthusiasm and unrealistic projections, a flurry of well-publicized activity by technology leaders…some successes, but more failures…The only enterprises making money are conference organizers and magazine publishers. Because the technology doesn’t live up to its over-inflated expectations, it rapidly becomes unfashionable. Media interest wanes, except for a few cautionary tales.

41. Mobile Web 2.0 Changes the Rules The handset is now a multimedia, data capture device “pushing” rich media to social networking sites The nature of network data traffic is fundamentally changing. Traffic is becoming much more symmetrical with rich media uploads.

42. Our perception of “device” needs to change Wi-Fi enabling any camera, automatic geo-tagging and uploading through public hot spots to any Web 2.0 site: Flickr, Facebook, MySpace, etc.
