The culture of Web 2.0
What characterises Web 2.0?• Web/Gov 2.0 isn’t fancy technology
– The technology is simple and ubiquitous
• Web/Gov 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
• ‘Collaboration requires effort, and it also requires a change of mindset. In particular it requires a willingness to examine services from a perspective which does not place one’s own institution at the centre.’
