Hmmm… it sounds interesting – but there’s so much jargon in here I’m gonna have to think on this one and see what it really means. When you say that email is Web 2.0, then I have to question the validity of the other statements because I was using email back in 1988 when Dell Computer was still known as PCs Limited.
Ian,
E-mail is the Grand Daddy and Killer App of the Internet! It is the way you use E-mail, that makes it Web 2.0, it that really matters. Dell uses e-mail in ways that you could do back when it was PCs Limited. And if you don-™t think RSS or SMS are not important or just jargon, then you need get with Web 2.0.
