It's the new socialism, stupid

Data belongs to everybody
It's all about sharing these days - or the term I prefer: the new socialism. The internet and especially all web 2.0 related stuff has enabled billions of people to share whatever is on their minds. The Facebook effect resulted in a worldwide collaboration frenzy like we never saw before. In this "web as a platform" era, Internet-moguls such as Google, FB, Yahoo! and the like compete for the biggest critical mass.
But how big are these sites nowadays, they all claim to have X millions subscribers and users but are these numbers true?
The site compete allows you to easily track the number of unique visitors and even allows you to visualize visitor trends just like this one :
Nice example of how data belongs to everybody, one of the core Web 2.0 principles!

Why I prefer McAfee to McDonalds
One of the most notorious people in the E2.0 space is Andrew McAfee. Actually he is rather a household name in IT tout court as he is member of the Ivy League for technology geeks: he ranks #38 in the list of 100 most influential people in IT. You can read more on "Enterprise Andy" here.
Professor McAfee was the first to coin the term "Enterprise 2.0" back in 2006. Compulsory reading for all new socialism aficionados is his "the dawn of emergent collaboration" which is available on his site. Anyway, to cut a long story very short but not that short that I'm limited to 140 characters, the first chapter of his long-awaited book is now freely available on http://is.gd/159xK (how social is that!)
I look forward to reading it - by the way, I treated myself to some more (junk)food for thought on E2.0. Groundswell, Enterprise 2.0 implementation (which looks rather technical at first sight) and some other stuff suggested by Amazon's clever recommendations engine. All references can be found on my bookshelf.
Together with all my RSS feeds, there is a lot of reading I have to catch up with.... busy, busy, busy
