9. The Perfect STORM
Four forces are transforming government to reinvent service
delivery, collaborate and consult with citizens using new venues:
A technology revolution–web 2.0: participatory web.
A demographic revolution–The netgen: their need for
connectedness, immediacy and interactivity.
A social revolution–Social networking: The exploding reach and
scope of social networking tools like Facebook, MySpace, YouTube,
Flickr.
An organisational revolution–Wikinomics: the mechanics
underpinning web 2.0 are now mainstream. Citizens preferred

12. What characterises Web 2.0?
Web 2.0 isn’t fancy technology
The technology is simple and ubiquitous
Web 2.0 is a culture change
Collaborate don’t control
Improvise, share, play
Users build value, the technology can let them in
Be modular: use others’ stuff, let them use yours
Build for user value - monetise later
13. Definition of web 2.0
Web 2.0 is operationally defined as a combination of technologies
(e.g. Ajax), applications (e.g. wiki) and values (e.g. user as a
producer).
These applications rely on the concept of the user as a producer:
of content (blog, wiki, Flickr), of taste/emotion (Last.fm, de.li.cious),
of contacts (MySpace), and of reputation/feedback (eBay,
TripAdvisor).

Notas del editor
E-Government = Hub & Spoke Government collected all information and resented back to citizens in the format government thought best
Ubiquitous = mobile (VPN) expanded access to the e-government solution put forward by government
Virtual in game changing Government is only one of many nodes on the information / solutions network. Citizen / Citizen, Citizen / Government/ citizen.

At this point we know a lot about our users, have figured out what classification schemes are appropriate, have chosen the correct structure and know what the business is trying to achieve.
Now we have to take a creative leap and turn that all into a solution
