The Mobile Web is gaining momentum. Oxford University is offering their first class in user generated content & Web 2.0.
According to Nielsen/Netratings (Aug 2006) user-generated content sites, platforms for photo sharing, video sharing and blogging, comprised five out of the top 10 fastest growing Web brands in July 2006.
With the rise of MySpace, YouTube and other Web 2.0 sites, traditional value chains are facing disruption. As is often highlighted in this blog, this disruption causes both threats and opportunities.
- Understanding the new world of Content covering movies, music, news, blogging and podcasting
- Operational issues: Threats, opportunities, legal, social issues, trust, copyright etc
- Social factors, community building and user interaction
- Web 2.0 and Mobile Web 2.0
- The impact of convergence
Ajit Jaokar, mobile telecoms specialist and author (including the Mobile Web 2.0 book above) will head the class. Here's his company site: Futuretext. Go ahead, say it…"I know she wants to go." Yeah, yeah.
