Web 2.0 & the New Net

Consumers are no longer just ‘consuming’ content online but creating, sharing, and organizing. Parks Associates analyzes this phenomenon, cutting through the hype and probing into the heart of the key questions it presents to the industry: Is there money to be made in the Web 2.0 space? How should established players react? Parks Associates delivers its latest consumer data on Web 2.0 trends which illustrate the current adoption and usage patterns.

“Like it or not, social media is here to stay and its rise has implications for everyone,” said John Barrett, director of research with Parks Associates. “The process though which people communicate, create, connect, and consume is changing. The industry had better learn to adapt.”
