You know you’re reading about a hot topic when the headlines are so conflicting:

Web 2.0 will be defined as the era when user interaction technologies were fleshed out, tested and refined. I don’t, however think that Facebook will be around (in the same position) in the next two years, MySpace will probably be a digital ghetto where weirdos try to seduce noobs and we will generally be burned out hearing about every turd of data about our friends. In fact I am one of many people who are doing their best to not become a digital pariah.
Then the pendulum will swing back, and we will have found some useful applications for this powerful technology such as law enforcement, public safety, research, education and even quality entertainment.
It certainly looks like bubble 2.0, but most of us will be around to play with the next round of toys.
My wife Cindy and I have just moved into our new apartment in Toronto. We aren’t even unpacked and I am starting a new contract this Monday morning.
My new employer is Filemobile, a social networking platform and CMS technology company that is truly Web 2.0 savvy.
FileMobile was recently featured on the highly influential tech news-maker blog, TechCrunch.
TechCrunch founder Michael Arrington was recently described in Wired Magazine as “being among the most influential — and quite possibly the richest — business writers in Silicon Valley.”
This was a very good sign indeed for the King West Village startup whose client list includes the iconic Canadian media companies MuchMusic and CBC.
My blog will continue to focus on new media companies, ideas, trends, entertainment and all manner of things that interest me and hopefully others in and out of the media business.
