Web 2.00 & Geoinformation

Wikinomics
Twenty years from now we will look back to this period of the early twenty-first century as a critical point in economic and social history. We will understand that we entered a new age, one based on new principles, worldviews, and business models where the nature of the game was changed.

Is there more than standard “business as usual” going on?
prosumers
It’s not (all) about money
• “Why do programmers devote huge parts of their lives to building Linux without any direct monetary compensation”
• Linus Torvald: “If you were a software engineer you wouldn’t even ask that question. For an engineer, when you solve some technical problem, the hairs just stand up on the back of your neck, it’s so exhilirating. Thjat feeling is what drives me.”

The Global Brain
• In 1906 Galton visited a livestock fair and stumbled upon an intriguing contest.
• An ox was on display, and the villagers were invited to guess the animal's weight after it was slaughtered and dressed.
• Nearly 800 gave it a go and, not surprisingly, not one hit the exact mark: 1,198 pounds.
• Astonishingly, however, the mean of those 800 guesses came close — very close indeed. It was 1,197 pounds.
Francis Galton
A wise crowd/community is not GIVEN: you have to do something for it
•Diversity of opinion: • Each person should have private information even if it's just an eccentric interpretation of the
known facts.•Independence:
• People's opinions aren't determined by the opinions of those around them.•Decentralization:
• People are able to specialize and draw on local knowledge.•Aggregation:
• Some mechanism exists for turning private judgments into a collective decision.

5 key characteristics of Web 2.00
1. Communication (min 2 way)2. Dynamic content3. Direct Response & interaction (see your result)4. Using the (community) network to get better5. Building bottom-up – Mashups - “the Global Brain”
Just to make it really clear: A non-IT example of
Web 1.00 & Web 2.00
In the past, Boeing gave orders like a drill sergeant, and suppliers
complied. Rarely did it matter if the supplier had a better idea – Boeing wanted the component
built exactly as specified. This tim, Boeing has given all its major
partners a vote in matters that afect them.

(1/3)Jaron Lanier: “Collective stupidity”
(computer scientist, composer & author)
Collaborative communities such as flickr,MySPace, and Wikipedia represent a new form of
“online collectivism” that is suffocating authentic voices in a muddled and anonymous
tide of mass mediocrity.

Behavioral targeting
• Behavioral targeting uses information collected on an individual's (web-browsing) behavior, such as the pages they have visited or the searches they have made, to select which advertisements to display to that individual.
Recommendation engines or recommender systems

Microsoft & Facebook
• Microsoft bought a tiny share of Facebook in 2007, everyone was up in arms over the extrapolated $15 billion valuation it gave Facebook. But the truth is, Facebook was never worth that much (at least not at the time) because Microsoft was never interested in purchasing it at that price, nor was anyone else. Instead, Microsoft was making a strategic investment to secure the rights to Facebook search and advertising. More importantly, its $240 million investment for less than 2% of the company insured that Google wouldn’t be able to cut a deal with the social networking giant.

Paying for content? Nielsen asked 27,000 people across 52 countries if they'd consider paying for internet content
71% of respondents say that content would have to be considerably higher quality than the free stuff before they handed over any cash. If they believed they could get the information elsewhere for free, they'd never pay.
more than 50% people would be prepared to pay for movies, music and games; exactly half would pay for professionally produced video, and a slightly smaller proportion would pay for magazines.

• On the other hand, fewer than a third of people would be prepared to pay for social media, podcasts, news or talk radio, consumer generated video or blogs.
• Consumers in the under-20 bracket were most likely to consider paying, whereas those over 65 were the least likely.
• So the puzzle that still remains unsolved for providers is exactly how to provide content unique enough that users can't get it elsewhere — and once they have produced it, how to protect it, while still promoting it. How do you balance the two Web models: the one where linking is everything, where you want content picked up by other sites, and the one where your content has to be exclusive?

3 rules of peering
Peering works best when 3 conditions are present1. Cost of participation must be low for contribution2. Independent from other users & small
incremental contributions3. Integration and quality control-mechanism must
be fast and low in cost

R&D
“…absorbing external technology or IP depends on the ability to relate what you learn to what you already know. Internal R&D and external
acquisitions are ceomplements, not substitutes”

Strange network effects
• Due to “different linking”, the 1st born in a family has a higher IQ vs the 2nd, 3rd….
• If the 1st born dies in a family, the 2nd born gets the links of the first born, and gets the IQ of the first born…
