Grand Bazaar

This photo was taken, not in my wife’s handbag closet as you may have thought, but from a stall in the amazing grand bazaar market in Istanbul, Turkey.

Obviously my wife was very impressed with what she saw so took the photo, looks like something out of a travel guide don’t you think?

Web 2.0

Web 2.0 is an interesting subject; currently I am very tempted to tell customers that we haven’t ‘upgraded to it yet’ and are still in the Web 1.0 world when confronted with pointless requests for Wikis or Blogs. I don’t, not just because I would be talking rubbish, but mainly because I am more concerned with establishing their communications requirement and matching this with the correct area of the communications mix.

Technology used in the right way is what we should be striving for, not a ‘killer-app’ for the sake of it.

Jacob Nielsen’s recent critique of Web 2.0 (BBC Technology News - Web 2.0 ‘neglecting good design’) triggered industry wide debate, I don’t agree with all he says but he has obviously struck a chord.

This Dilbert cartoon (from Dilbert.com) says it all!
