If web 2.0s wanna become money makers, then they shd understand the basics. The basics still remain the same. Market place is a value exchange system. Unless web 2.0 sites can generate ugc of value, they cannot sell their sites. That wd be the Next Big Thing!!!

The web is a great place for sharing information, and sometimes that information is about products. Doing a good job with product info is far better than any advertisement if you’re trying to catch consumers such as myself.

There are also opportunities for mass customization, a la ponoko.com or Nike ID, or automotive configurators, etc.

Then there’s digital distribution. I pay for a lot of downloadable software.

But keep your grubby hands off my kite, thanks. :-)
