Social Computing has radically changed the way people interact with information,
transactional processes and one another via the Internet.

Enterprise Web 2.0 is changing the ways knowledge workers interact with
information and one another. The implications are enormous and could lead to a
fundamental redefinition of collaboration and business process. The biggest IT
vendors have much to gain and much to lose in what could be a major shift in the
productivity landscape. Each brings strengths to the table, and each faces
challenges. The battle for mindshare with enterprise users is on, and the stakes
are high. In the midst of this, information and knowledge management
professionals must create an enterprise Web 2.0 strategy. Properly identifying
the right vendor for your organization is all about aligning each vendor's value
proposition with your identified needs.

It's the ability to more efficiently generate, self-publish, and find information, plus
share expertise in a way that's so much easier and cheaper than earlier
knowledge management attempts. Web 2.0 also promises to revolutionize
transactional processes between businesses, suppliers and customers.

As with any disruptive technology, the adoption curve depends on consumers.


Today there are over
500 million users of
the social web
globally.

Most businesses
have yet to
comprehend the
dynamics, changes
and significant
impacts of the social
web. Part of the
problem is the
terminology. When
we use the terms
“social web, social
networks and social
computing,” most
business mindsets think in terms of how users connect and share with friends.

The word “social” generally refers to relations between people, or particular


associations between people; interactive systems in communities of populations,
or any living organisms. These definitions naturally create associations to the
word “social” as being people-oriented. However, there is much being discussed
about the web as being a “living organism” because technological interactions
are mimicking intellectual properties of humanity.

When you define “Life” as the property or quality that distinguishes living
organisms from dead organisms and inanimate matter, manifested in functions
such as metabolism, growth, reproduction, and response to stimuli or
adaptation to the environment originating from within the organism we
begin to see how technologies driving the social web mimic response to stimuli
and adaptation to the environment. The word “social” has now advanced to
mean interactions between people and things. Thus the phrases “social web,
social networks and social computing” begin to take on new meanings from a
business perspective.

Every business, regardless of industry, has a set of common processes ion


interactions between its people, products and services. The social web is
driven by advanced technology that connects people and things to
everyone, everything, and everywhere.

Advanced technologies are fueling the interoperability among disparate database


applications and the automation of manual tasks, integrating them all into a
global process that users can access from any Internet connection. The web is
getting smarter and the people fueling it are getting more and more creative
everyday.

Financial Models and Projections:

The Virtual Economy starts with giving something of value for free. To make
something that is “free” valuable to the virtual community an individual or
organization must think “what does the community need, want, desire and if
given for free would it be considered valuable”.

Technological advances within the medium of social networks are enabling the
integration of blogs, video, images, instant messaging and every kind of self
expression tool imaginable. Social networks are becoming the aggregators of
self expression using whatever medium an individual desires for whatever
purpose. Again, for the most part, all for free.

In the networked economy free precedes commercial activity. Many are


creating new economic models for social networks beyond advertising.
However, the successful models are those that strategically think about
how to convert “free” into economic gains and what value precedes
commercial activity.

Business 3.0 economic models start with the free, in the eyes of the user, and
ends with economic gains from 1) financial transactions in products and services,
2) add-on functions and features rolled out as discoveries of need which are
identified and filled, and 3) advertising revenue from Business advertising within
Business 3.0

Business 3.0 economic models are based on the following assumptions:

1. Gaining 20%+ of all financial transactions facilitated through Business 3.0


2. Revenue sharing models from professional services provided i.e.
Educational Courses, Business Channel set up fee’s etc etc
3. Revenue sharing models from advertising services provided
4. Serving fees for value-added applications added to perform specific
business functions
5. Monthly fees from strategic partners providing specific value-added
functions to the Business 3.0 communities
6. Virtual Exhibit Hall monthly dues
7. Referral fees

Given the nature of the social networking space and its long tail implications, the
proposed economic models are subject to change with the aim of capturing
additional opportunities aimed at fueling the shareholder value of Business 3.0,
its strategic partners and supplier alliances- all while providing the maximum
value possible to users of the Business 3.0 application.
