"Web 2.0–or its business cousin Enterprise 2.0–sounds great on the surface.

Apple's App Store Is a Winner
Good review of the Apple App store. The app store and the iPhone are what finally caused me to put aside me disinterest in "The Mobile Web" that we've been hearing so much about for 10+ years.

Experience Architect, from Live Path: Social Media Missteps: Is it okay for brands to swear?
"As a corporation, it may not be adviseable to talk to your social network the same way you'd talk to the guys in the locker room, a friend over coffee, or your posse over beers. To many people - especially those with families or who are religious, this statement might be highly offensive."
