Travel companies/suppliers appear to be particularly guilty of claims of innovation and first-to-market launches when in reality much has been done before (only with older technologies).<BR/><BR/>Another example of these claims would be the whole web 2.0 miracle; which is in reality an extension of practices long since used online. For instance social tagging was something I personally implemented on a portal 7 years ago (a system where by users could tag articles with categories which could then be used to filter searches by other users), the concept of blogging has existed online in forums and personal websites for many years, tools to share info and content have all existed for years.<BR/><BR/>Wikipedia defines 2.0 as services that let people collaborate and share information online. Now many online companies (travel included) and constantly shouting about their 'new' approach using collaboration/community and info sharing online.<BR/><BR/>It's great that 2.0 is the current buzz as it's what the web was designed for and I am a huge fan. Ajax has opened the door to so many possibilities as well. But in reality 2.0 is not that new, just the implementation has got easier/better presented and technology allows us to more these days...Steve Ehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10077094717953092210noreply@blogger.com
