I was more than inspired to the talk I attended today. It was a talk on Web 2.0 and Tourism.
I was exposed to Web 2.0 early of this semester by Dr Nana during E-marketing lecture. It was new to me and I did not realize the change from Web 1.0 to Web 2.0. More excitement, the Web 3.0 is said to be coming.
I spent some time thinking about the possible future of Internet but couldn't find a definite/creative answer to that. It was then discussed in lecture classes regarding the future of Web 3.0 that I realized my thoughts are narrow and have yet to see the wide world. I really hope and i do believe it will that DELTA'10 is a opportunity to learn more than play. To travel is one thing but to learn while playing is one great thing.
I was made realized that consumers are not just changing but they have changed. Consumers now are bombarded with a lot of information and are in a situation that 80% of the emails they receive daily are spams. Consumers now do not believe to just information from marketers. User reviews are playing an important in influencing other consumers.
Web 2.0 is not about email marketing. Sending promotions to consumers via email/sms may more probably ignored by them. Marketers are expected to make use of the opportunities in social networking. However, it is not just about having an online presence. Web 2.0 is a tool that is made up of many little pieces.
Today's speech truly influenced me to do a little thinking. I wonder how it affect others. Undoubted, it's another opportunity to see the no-boundaries world.
I'm definitely getting excited towards what I will see from DELTA'10
