So the question I’m left with is, if Yahoo execs are not really using Flickr in a Web 2.0 sort of way personally, can we really expect them to understand the tremendous innovation that Flickr represents for Web 2.0 in general? If they don’t “get it” first hand. If they don’t eat their own dogfood, so to speak, can we really expect them to truly take Flickr and social sharing in general where it needs to go?

Facebook is the AOL for web 2.0. Sooner or later people are going to want their own Wall, and in my opinion this is exactly what Twitter is. Twitter is THE wall for people who want more from a wall.

Digital is going to become part of almost everyone’s job. After climbing to the stratosphere, jobs in Web 2.0 are way off their peak.

Web 2.0 successes were mostly about a single feature (photos, bookmarks, video, phone, blogging, etc) where there was extremely rapid adoption by consumers. Semantic Web is inherently about integration and those plays tend to be different, longer and much bigger potential.
