THINKING THE WEB, GIVING THE LINKS
by Fred Vidal, PdD

Summary for a Conference in UCLA

THINKING THE WEB, GIVING THE LINKS (Conference 2008-2009)

My personal experience with the Hollywood 2.0 Intranet
and my scientific understanding of the Internet development

1. A NEW SUCCESS FOR THE WEB: COMMUNITY SITES.
WHY ARE THEY SO POPULAR AND WHAT DOES THAT MEAN?
Support of the Entertainment Industry as a promotion tool but it must mean more...

2. A PART OF THE POPULATION STAYS OUTSIDE THE WEB:
DOING EMAILS ONLY (D.E.O.) BECAUSE OF TIME SCHEDULE
(Is it connected to the generations, the way of life or the ideology?)

3. WEB SPECIALISTS AND PUBLICISTS IN NEED OF A MODEL:
WEB 2.0, BUZZWORDS AND PROMOTION POLICIES
(including: the risk of a viral marketing for democracy and social dysfunctions)

4. MORE AND MORE YOUNG COMPANIES OPEN THEIR SITES:
PROJECT FOR THE CREATION OF THE INTERNET CHAMBER OF COMMERCE
(including Start-Ups, budget previsions, quality plan and business targets)

5. GROUPS, COMMUNITIES, 'TRIBES': THE BLOG GENERATION,
MEANING OR NOT THE BUILDING OF AN INTERNET NATION
(obsolescence of the Intranet concept, example of Hollywood 2.0)

6. THE NON-SOCIAL WEB IMPROVES THE QUALITY
AND THE EFFICIENCY OF ITS SERVICES:
SCIENTIFIC WEB (Universities), BANKING WEB (online services),
SHOPPING WEB (blockbusters and experiences in progress)

I recommend this UCLA Research Site:

I'm very well in touch with the management team and appreciate the quality of their research.

SOCIAL INTERNET DOMINANCE or POST-AMERICAN DREAM CRISIS/DRAMA? This is the subject of Fred Vidal's Conference written for UCLA and published online.

There is a WEB GAP now, 2 cultures, 2 societies:

The Internet Connected Society (ICS), I mean the people and groups doing Web 2.0, on one hand, and, on the other hand, the society of the 1950’s still on location (Post-American Dream) Doing Emails Only (DEO), traditional America but in crisis, including, unfortunately, for us and the Late Wall Street (LWS), some opinion leaders and newspapers masterminds.

We need a lot more studies in our universities, beginning this year 2008-2009, about the SOCIAL INTERNET DOMINANCE.

Exaggeration? This is written for 2009 and after, not for the past.
