When geeks stop talking about it, it becomes reality

In February 2007 right after lift07 I claimed that web 2.0 was dead.

So I admit I was wrong.

I even made the following graphic of it:








I was sure that in my world web 2.0 would be death, because the geeks at the conferences didn't talk about the tools of web 2.0 anymore. They talked about something else.

From experience I have found out that when the geeks stop talking about it, it's when the cash cows are being made, and people can actually start making a living of it.

So web 2.0 didn't die. It became mainstream and reality for a lot of companies and people.

It's really interesting to look back at, and see that in some aspects, I was right... Just take this with you from this blogpost: When geeks stop talking about it, that's when you should set all sails and make a living of the tendencies =)
