The logo above is nothing to do with us. RedMonk was incorporated in November 2002. The name RedMonk was my idea. Stephen was happy to go with it. I looked around the web at the time, and it seemed noone else was actually trading under the name. So we went ahead. At first, like any [...]

The video below is a panel discussion on “the new world of work in a web squared world’, introduced by John Hagel.

Before the conference even started, Fred Wilson threw out a one-liner that got people thinking. He called it the Golden Triangle. The three current big [...]

I can't bring myself to go to Web 2.0 Summit, which is trying to distance itself from the boring world of Web 2.0 by calling itself "Web Squared." Check out this language on the front page of the Web 2.0 Summit site : We believe that nothing is going to get better if the world collectively hides under its desk. It's time for the Web to step up and step into its role as a platform for positive...

It was O’Reilly’s seminal article on “What is web2.0?” that inspired my first Development 2.0 article and the subsequent Development 2.0 manifesto. So it was with great interest that I read O’Reilly’s follow-up thinkpiece in preparation to the upcoming Web2 summit. The paper tries to anticipate what will be next in the evolution of the web (the era he dubs “Web...
