Tim OReilly's Web 2.0 Report

What is Web 2.0, is peddling a new report called Programmableweb.com, using O'Reilly's original 5-page paper as the takeoff point. At $375 for a downloadable pdf, the price is steep although a heck of a lot cheaper than attending O'Reilly Web 2.0 Conference, which opens tomorrow in San Francisco. There are lots of complaints about the price in the comments section on O'Reilly's Getting Real book for $19). My quibble is not with the price. O'Reilly and Musser are obviously targeting enterprise business types (not freeloading geeks) who are curious about all this Web 2.0 buzz and are accustomed to paying much more money for reports from the tech consulting firms. As my fellow Enterprise Irregular Bookmark Murdok: Jerry Bowles has more than 30 years of varied experience as a writer, editor, marketing consultant, corporate communications director and blogger. For the past 20 years, he has produced and written special supplements on new technologies for a number of magazines, including Forbes, Fortune and Newsweek.
