VentureBeat: VC investments in Web 2.0 companies booming, better study shows

  • Startups.in/India · 3 years ago
    Even though the numbers of deals in 2005 is more than double the year before it, the amount raised is not. Why? Lower infrastructure costs??

    Nice quality post though, Matt. This is what sets Venturebeat apart from the herd.

    Matt is Web 2.0 a new burst? What´s really mean web 2.0?

    VentureBeat is wondeful, You believe what in my country to do the same?

    Daniel,

    You asked if Web 2.0 is a new bubble. I don't think so, because of the relatively small amounts of money being investedin each one.

    As for what Web 2.0 means, I'll repeat the definition supplied in the study by VentureOne:

    "Companies included in this study have a business model that revolves around a dynamic interface facilitating participation through such methods as user-created content, networking, and collaboration. Applications used include podcasting, tagging, blogs, social networking, mashups, and wikis. Technologies used in these applications include: AJAX, RSS, SOA, CSS, XHTML, Atom, and rich Internet applications."

    That definition should make its way into Webster. Well summed up, Matt.

    The way I think of web 2.0 is all the interactive features that are on more and more websites, where the community take part in creating the final product.
