Tivoli Restaurant
Description
Web 2.0 has changed some of the basic precepts on where market and competitive intelligence comes from. Traditionally the authoritative source of information came from the established media and publishing houses. Web 2.0 has introduced the concept of collective intelligence and the efficient gathering of information from the edges. This has been most prominently seen with the advent of blogging and the emergence of fringe amateur experts as respected voices on a variety of subjects. While blogging has been the most prominent shift the concept of collective intelligence is changing several industries and source of information. This talk will discuss how mapping and geographic data collection is being changed by Web 2.0 and what the repercussions will be for fields like competitive intelligence.
