Web 2.0 Aftermath As costs of Web server hardware and Internet bandwidth continue to drop setting-up database-backed websites using advanced toolkits such as innovative Ruby on Rails and AJAX interfaces has become a lot easier than a few years ago.

An active creator today can enhance brand visibility and credibility, achieve customer intimacy or just simplify the process to find the latest information about new products and services allowing visitors to subscribe to blogs via RSS and be notified when posting something new.

Characteristics of today's Web 2.0 architecture allow better communications and data exchange resulting in improved social networking technologies, service orientation and cinematic user interfaces based on AJAX and Flash complementing modern SOA's.

Most websites have just started or do not yet apply Web 2.0 characteristics, but many people talk already about what's after Web 2.0. It's pure speculation, but I think that future disruptive services will leverage further human intelligence applying technologies such as the Semantic Web and FOAF which will enrich today's Web technologies but also raise privacy concerns.

As products and experiences become more complicated or gain new capabilities new technologies, disciplines and the hyper speed of today's platforms require new ways of thinking and skills, including strategy, creative and technology helping customers, users, audiences and participants effectively use or experience these solutions.


Using a powerful Model-view-controller (MVC) software architecture applying principles such as 'Don't repeat yourself' (DRY) and 'Convention Over Configuration' Ruby on Rails (RoR) is an excellent hyper productive framework to realize new ideas and help customers, users, audiences and participants effectively use or experience these solutions. Having the Prototype Javascript Framework already in place it's easy to develop and apply usful dynamic visual effects and user interface elements based on AJAX.

An active creator today can enhance brand visibility and credibility, achieve customer intimacy or just simplify the process to find the latest information about new products and services allowing visitors to subscribe to blogs via RSS and be notified when posting something new.
