Web 2.0, social circles
Clarence Wooten over at VPFund, a great guy I met in person at the first TechCrunch BBQ, has a pretty good write-up about how the new web paradigm that many call “Web 2.0″ creates new social circles where anyone virtually knows anyone. I couldn’t agree more. One of the things I found around the time I flew into the Bay Area was how much of the borders were being brought down by the new web - a web that focusses on conversations between people.
Without the new world of relationships and conversations, I wouldn’t have worked on TechCrunch, I wouldn’t be launching an amazing project soon, and I wouldn’t be waking up to a lot of new ideas and people. To sum it up, this is a great time to be an entrepreneur (as Joe Kraus wrote three months ago).
Great read. It definately is a great time to be on the web. Great projects are blossoming everywhere.. and the infrastructure of the web is providing the means for us to keep up with all of it, and more than anything, stay connected to every other person online.
You are a great example of how the web is breaking down barriers.. hell, it made you cross an ocean! — leaving this side “poorer” in the process, but that’s ok, since pretty much everything you do over there can be accessed and experienced over here as well. :P
