Emerging Web Solutions
|
The Web is rapidly evolving from an ecosystem of managed content centric sites that strive to establish basic internet presence, to an ecosystem of user generated content and social/community centric services with viral channels for discovery and consumption. This shift is popularly characterized by the community at large today as being the Web 2.0 phase of the Internet evolution, and it constitutes the base for the future trends and emergence of the web. The notion of the Emerging Web signifies the constantly evolving state of the web and encompasses the related standards, trends, business models, architectures, and enabling technologies.
The Emerging Web movement is most prevalent in the tech savvy online consumer ecosystem today. It however embodies a much broader and unrealized reach potential with opportunities to span and integrate broader consumer segments, businesses of all sizes and kinds, web service providers, independent software vendors, and solution integrators in unique ways that yield compelling cross-cutting benefits. The materialization of such cross-cutting and integrated opportunities constitutes the core of the future evolution of the web.

Developing an astute awareness of targeted business and solution opportunities in the quagmire of related technology dimensions and options can be even more daunting.
