Changes in Consumer Behavior

“It's the conversation economy, stupid. One of the engines that is driving "2.0" growth is the fact that communities are forming around popular social platforms such as YouTube, Facebook, Flickr, Ning, Twitter—the list goes on and on. These platforms facilitate conversation. Conversation leads to relationships and relationships lead to affinity.”-David Armano

By David Armano, author of the blog Logic+Emotion

Wacky World of WikisA wiki allows a group of people to collaboratively develop a Web site with no knowledge of HTML or other markup languages. Anyone can add to or edit pages in a wiki -- it is completely egalitarian. Anyone can create new wiki pages simply by creating a new link with the name of the page. Pages are connected not hierarchically, but by hyperlinks between pages. Source: http://www.libsuccess.org/index.php?title=What_is_a_Wiki

“The official 2,000,000th article on the

English Wikipedia was created on September 9,

2007”http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/
