The dividing line between where your business stops and starts just evaporated. You, your customers and your competitors have merged into one interconnected force.

The Big Idea

The five principles of Web 2.0 success are:

1 Users Create Value,
2 Networks Multiply Effects,
3 People Build Connections,
4 Companies Capitalize Competence and
