DESCRIPTION
The Web has always been about people, but in a Web 2.0 world, this is taking on new meaning. Giving your users more control and influence over your site unveils a whole new set of opportunities — and a whole new set of challenges. How are user ratings and reviews, tagging, editorial control, user-generated content, and social networking changing the way you should be thinking about your site? How are sites dealing with negative user contributions? What does all of this mean for how you design and build your site? Come take an entertaining tour through the social wonderland of Web 2.0 and learn what it means for you. Presentation by Steve Mulder.

The culture of participation
• The participatory, social nature of the personal Web (blogs, podcasts, photo sharing, social networking)is expected more and more on the business Web
• Collective intelligence is becoming more credible and useful– The work of the few impacts the many
