Web 2.0
What the hell is this all about then?
Most of the folks that I’m trying to get this across to around their early 40’s. Having just mastered the www and now know what a web site is,how email work and how to download all the free music you need for life.
So when I hear that web 2.0 is the new Internet I have to find out more about this. If you have never heard or know what web 2.0 is then I have a surprise for you…ITS MASSIVE!
In a nut shell,Web 2.0 is a social method of keeping in touch with friends family and its a great way to make and meet 100’s if not thousands of people from all over the world. Its basically brought the world a lot lot closer.
Its called “Social Networking”
I’ll put this in simple terms to those that still don’t know what the hell I’m talking about here. Have you heard of myspace , facebook or you tube? Most people who surf the www will come across these sites at some point or another. These sites offer you, the marketer or general interest type person, the means to communicate and reply information to folks.
Now these site are ok for getting a small “hello” or a “Guess who got married recently” type message. I do not receommend it for mass marketing. Use these facilities for find folks who you haven’t seen in a while,who have moved away from your area etc etc.
They can been a very useful method of getting back in touch. You will find that people will want to know what your up to now days and what do you do in your free time. Maybe this is then a good time to show an opportunity your working on.
At the end of the day Nobody likes to sold to….so don’t do it. It will drive the away from ever being your friend again.
I hope this has been of some use.

Hi Darren,
I was reading your blog “Web 2.0-A Social Networking Explosion” and I thought it was very interesting because of my work at JustMeans. I also read and enjoyed your other blogs on web technology and business.
As you mentioned, social networking sites are not best used for mass marketing. Through my work at JustMeans, I facilitate a social media platform that enables networking and creates close communities of individuals and companies that rally around social responsibility. The JustMeans networks, along with blogs, news and job opportunities, help to connect social networking with social and environmental impact.
If you think JustMeans could be interesting to your readers, let me know and I can arrange a tour of our platform or I can have our CEO, Martin Smith, answer any of your questions.
Thanks,
Ashley Fidel

Great post. A good website that demostrates just how many social networks there are in existance now is this search engine for social networks. A single search often yields hundreds of general and niche social networking sites for popular subjects. Advertisers must be salivating at the prospect of such targeted demographics! I can also see potential for internet marketers becoming active members of niche communities to promote their products.
