Muhammad Yunus has founded one of the most successful developing projects with the Grameen-Bank.

In an article last week on TechCrunch it was described how enterprises push its viral video-advertisement artificially. Besides, the guest’s article of the expert for virale marketing, Dan Ackerman Greenberg, climbed on an(for a holiday, it was Thanksgiving), unusually high echo. While it was quiet calm on other big US-Blogs, TechCrunch comes on more than 400 comments, in spite of the holiday. In addition the article of Martin Weigert on zweinull.cc is very interesting. Martin Weigert supposes that of the TechCrunch article itself was also pushed with similar methods as she recommends to this post for viral films. So by an artificially caused controversy release a discussion which should provide for a spreading. Martin Weigert writes: “What follows now in the comments to the article (on TechCrunch), is a sturdy controversy with countless indignant users. As one of the first annotators the TechCrunch boss Michael Arrington announces himself: “I’m disgusted by this” … One could presume that Dan Ackerman Greenberg has paid for the publication of the contribution to promote his linked enterprise, and that he and Arrington had the idea to lend additional explosive effects by the “amazed reaction” of the TechCruch boss to the subject. I think it`s possible that there is a pure calculation behind all this … Ackermann Greenberg has proved that a lively and kicking over the traces discussion is a successful guarantor, but also for blogarticles not only for the spreading of video clips in the net.”

While taking another cup of tea and strewing a little bit of pepper on my five minute egg, those traditional components of a continental breakfast cause some heretical thoughts with me.
Tea. Pepper. Globalization.
I ask Zara: “What do you think about? Was globalization not always there in history?” She considers and I take one, politically correct, local strawberry jam for my toast. “Yes”, you’d think so. “For example the Old Silk Road or the Englishmen with their East India Company. Nevertheless this was all global trade “. Now I give her some honey. “Well, as long as we globalize the world, it was all right for most people. But since the former colonies turn the tables, globalisation is suddenly disagreeable and the globalization slashers are announced”. The phone rings. Before I hurry out of the room, she still explains “In my opinion thus associations like Attac are the new conservatives or something worse anyway”.

see this video of former Web 1.0 in 1994

Web 2.0 is not the name of another www or a certain internet technology, but it is the advancement of the internet to a more active participation of the users. This also has changed the meaning of the internet. Because web 2.0 accelerates the individuation of the communication. In blogs and podcasts, or on MySpace, Twitter, YouTube, a.s.o. everybody has the possibility to present himself. The buzzword “Web 2.0″ was formed by Dale Dougherty (O’Reilly) and Craig Cline (MediaLive). They developed the term during a meeting in the year 2004. Then in 2005 Tim O’Reilly wrote an article in which he explained the concept closer. In it`s beginning the World Wide Web were static sides, many of them put in for a long time consistently. This “Web 1.0” was on the one side the content, provided for the web, and on the other side the consumers, receiving this information. Now this classical casting, between suppliers on one side and consumers on the other side, has got in staggering. Weblogs put their own contributions in the net, contents are not provided any more centrally by media and then spread to the people, but decentralised by people, combining with each other.
Web 2.0 now is blogging, RSS, Aiax, Wikipedia, MySpace, Xing, Youtube, networks and communities …
The fact that the Internet allows an interaction, goes back to the original idea of the internet. Already with the www at the beginning of the 1990s, the idea was to create a worldwide place for information and dialog.

Interesting contribution of Rob Nikowitsch on ConnectedMarketing. His suggestions for the new marketing: ” The opponent is called customer and not end user / customers no garbage chutes / are the customer It stands on the same eye level / the language must also change. ” Is right! Since by the used language the thinking appears. Who speaks even today of “end users”, is quite unimpressed from new marketing attempts. People are no ” factors at the end of the distribution chain “.
They should be partners and co-creators in a process. The Internet changes the people - and it democratises the markets faster than most enterprises want to admit this. A modern marketing recognises that it makes sense to involve the customer in the origin process of a product.
However, on the other side over and over again enterprises get to prevent an upcoming enthusiasm for the products or the brand with clumsy communication, shows the topical example Flickr/Yahoo in Germany.
