12 Aug 2008 16:091 commentsBizLike
Prefix Technologies, the leading software solutions provider to the publishing sector, has announced its sponsorship of the upcoming “Advancing Web 2.0 for Traditional Media” conference. The event will take place on 14 August 2008 at the Wanders Club in Johannesburg.
“Our participation as sponsors of this event dovetails perfectly with our aim to actively engage with South Africa's publishing and media sector,” says Prefix Technologies CEO Josh Adler. “We see platforms like this as essential for the growth of the industry, and are very happy to support it.”

The conference is endorsed by the Online Publishers Association and has an impressive confirmed delegates list that will see key industry players debate the challenges of the day. The event will focus on key trends in online publishing and advertising in South Africa as well as best practices for monetising content through various online revenue models.

The conference is shaping up to be a great day and worth the effort of coming out and experiencing. Where traditional marketing is and should be going really is something to be aware of for all industry players.

Adds Adler, “There are real opportunities for local media companies to pursue profitable digital publishing strategies. Importantly, there are now capable South African service providers and software vendors that can assist them in achieving this goal.”

Web 2.0 Is Like Pornography-
Like so many tech articles posted since Tim O'Reilly coined the term in 2004, this one references "Web 2.0" as if it were something tangible–or at least a concept with clear, concise definition. It is not. In 2006, Web founder Sir Tim Berners-Lee sagely observed that "nobody knows what it means":

In 2007, Michael Wesch put together this video that supposedly "explains what Web 2.0 really is about":

It is a cool video. But the message is all about XML and how it can be used to separate form and content. There was no mention of CSS and XHTML, but no matter. I was writing XML parsers in the ’90s, and XHTML/CSS web design pre-dates "Web 2.0" as well.

And now in 2008, the most honest thing we can say is that "Web 2.0" means whatever the techno-marketeer (ab)using it wants it to mean. Otherwise, why would intelligent people like Isaac O'Bannon still be writing articles asking "What is Web 2.0?":

And, why would McKinsey's just-released best-of-breed report entitled "Building the Web 2.0 Enterprise" ...

... include no attempt at defining the term other than to list the "Web 2.0 Tools" that comprise or enable it? And even there, the chief ingredient is identified only as "Web Services", adding more mystery to the mix as one ethereal term is offered up to explain another.

As originated in an Onstartups.com website design posting...

... "Web 2.0" is like pornography: Nobody has defined it, but you know it when you see it.
