Prediction:web 2.0 goes cellular (part 2)

This is a fictitious post and is the first in a series. It is meant only to show one possible scenario that COULD happen. It is my opinion that a news story headline like this will happen in the future.

Nokia announced today it will integrate most of its phones with leading video sharing websites like YouTube. Nokia phones will not only connect people by capturing life through pictures and video, but now provide the capability to immediatley upload pictures and video to sites such as YouTube to share with family, friends and the world. Nokia phones will connect people by providing the ability to access and play the latest videos from YouTube right on your phone.

Prediction:web 2.0 goes cellular (part 1)

This is a fictitious post and is the first in a series. It is meant only to show one possible scenario that COULD happen. It is my opinion that a news story headline like this will happen in the future. What is usually referred to as web 2.0 products (myspace, picasa, flickr, photobucket, etc) will partner with cell phone companies to enrich web content. Although you can send photos to Flickr through email from a cell phone its inevitable this process will be improved to be easier.


...
T-Mobile announced a partnership with Yahoo to use Flickr in facilitating the uploading of pictures taken on cameras within SideKick phones. Anytime a picture is taken on a SideKick phone an option will be provided to upload the picture to Flickr.

FW:I only use email to communicate with old people

I mentioned in a previous post titled "Web 2.0:Balancing collaboration and process efficieny through informal learning" that younger people are more adaptable to utilize informal learning through technology like wikis.

This post from Jeremiah Owyang's blog marks an exclamation point on my statement. Younger people are informally using technology to communicate differently and most times more efficiently.

I only use email to communicate with old people

Compare the statement of Jeremiah's post with the fact that all we use today in corporate america is email. (at least for those companies not adopting technologies like chat, wiki, etc)

FW:Now this is how it is supposed to work! from e-Clippings

I thought that this was such a great link (from e-Clippings) I would put it here on my blog.

Now this is how it is supposed to work! from e-Clippings

Now compare the information from this link against my co-workers statement of "we just don't do that" when I asked if my company ever looked at wikis to share information.

Can you say competitive advantage?
