Strategy Rule 6 – Say it in a Tag-Line – You’re The Open Source Alternative To The “Dark Side”

You are entitling people to what they were previously denied.

It is the power of open source that is enabling this. Open [...]

John Newton - How Web 2.0 Will Change The Face Of Business

In the article "How Web 2.0 will change the face of business", John Newton does a really good job at describing what Web 2.0 is essentially about and what impact the driving forces behind Web 2.0 has to businesses:
