B2B market and Web 2.0?

B2B is an exceptionally interesting factor for Web 2.0.

Let’s just move away from the my favorite, the mass collaboration aspect, here for a short while.

Web 2.0 is also about making frequently changing information available in formats that are recognized by a number of systems. I’m addressing compatibility here. So what about defining a standard which will comply to RSS is some way and make constantly changing pricing information of a wholesaler available to his retailers around the globe? I’m not going to start the discussion about email newsletters, ok?

That being said: the next thing we shoud focus upon is the documentation and making this available in a format that is widely recognized and safe and compatible for future systems. How often have you searched the web for something, finally found it and it turned out to be 5 years old? Systems like Wikis or other systems automatically supply the date the article was created or last edited. This way ensuring not only the significance of the information you are looking for but also the topicallity.

There are about one kazillion more features which make Web 2.0 B2B-ready. It’s just that the companies have to have some time to adapt to the new technology. I’m trying my best to make that happen faster
