But you're right, but let's see if in 2007 we, the users, find a way to profit from our contributions. because all these web 2 .0 business plans are starting to resemble feudal system quite soon.

Two major problems appear: 1) They can't do it 2) It's better if they don't do it 1) Even giants like Google will not be able to do this job alone. The fast growing WWW content creates its own user-related structure to become accessible. Semantic web and P2P search engines are the natural (intelligent) consequence and might be integrated by today's major research engines soon. 2) Information created, commented or rated by users, is more interesting and richer than content generated unilaterally. Thus, companies providing "web 2.0" content will be more successful. I believe that these are the two main points lanching a "natural regulation" of the WWW based on user driven content.

2) Information created, commented or rated by users, is more interesting and richer than content generated unilaterally. Thus, companies providing “web 2.0″ content will be more successful.

I believe that these are the two main points lanching a “natural regulation” of the WWW based on user driven content.

Well, my definition might actually be a bit restrictive, but so far I cannot think of a counter example. Web 2.0 companies provide a platform and the scaled infrastructure for users to produce and play with content. I totally agree with your stance regarding natural regulation: some companies will become business-as-usual brands, others will die. I like your last sentence but I guess I can't understand all of it: do you mean search tools like Google are at the center of the Web 2.0 concept (cf. Dave Winer - see my blogroll, I was early - Time Magazine, "You" are the Man of the Year)? Thanks Rup.

Not too large, not too restrictive. Just one idea on the origin of these companies: I believe that Internet lives a phase of natural regulation. The overwhelming flow of information can not be managed by the only force of small web companies. Thus, the origin of web 2.0 companies is directly related to our need of organizing and structuring information in order to make it understandable. Very fine definition of web 2.0 companies, Jerem.
