BusinessWeek On Web 2.0

BusinessWeek has a special report on Web 2.0 technologies and services, focusing on wikis, blogs, RSS, AJAX, and mashups. This is a good introduction to Web 2.0 for the corporate world, as they play catch-up and get in the game. In suggesting "What every CEO needs to know about the array of new tools that foster online collaboration",  the Business Week piece offers the following:

• Tipsheet: How to Harness the Power of Web 2.0

• Web 2.0 Has Corporate America Spinning

• A VC's View of Web 2.0

• Podcast: The CEO's Guide to Web 2.0 / O'Reilly's Guide to Web 2.0

"But behind the peculiarities, Web 2.0 portends a real sea change on the Internet. If there's one thing they have in common, it's what they're not. Web 2.0 sites are not online places to visit so much as services to get something done -- usually with other people. From Yahoo!'s (YHOO) photo-sharing site Flickr and the group-edited online reference source Wikipedia to the teen hangout MySpace, and even search giant Google (GOOG), they all virtually demand active participation and social interaction. If these Web 2.0 folks weren't so geeky, they might call it the Live Web."
