Web 2.0 - disrupts existing models: ‘Web 2.0 communities, such as MySpace and wikis, connect people in ways that many companies hadn't anticipated when they began to develop their online strategies.’

‘Stephanie Hardwick does not consider herself to be a technology addict, but she carries two MP3 players - an Apple iPod and a Creative Zen - around with her and says she cannot imagine doing her university degree without the internet. A lot of the journals I need are online and I use the internet for everything, like booking tickets, to getting trains, yellow pages. ﾓ The 21-year-old student studying English at Oxford University says she spends at least an hour a day on Facebook, the social networking site, and downloads some of the plays and books she has to read for her course on to her Zen player, so she can listen to them while working out at the gym…’
