8.1 Web 2.0 and Social Media Web 2.0, the social Web, has transformed and lead to new business
models The transformation has happened so smoothly that we frequently don’t
recognize many of the implications to businesses, agencies, and individuals.
Internet interactivity allows for robust social connections between individuals, organizations, governments and other entities.
Organizations had communicated with their audiences using a broadcast model—messages flowed from sender to receiver. Newer model is the conversation model, where communication flows back and forth between sender and receiver.

new way of thinking is captured in a list of 95 statements called the Cluetrain Manifesto
Markets are conversations. These networked conversations are enabling powerful new forms of
social organization and knowledge exchange to emerge. As a result, markets are getting smarter, more informed, more
organized. Participation in a networked market changes people fundamentally.
People in networked markets have figured out that they get far better information and support from one another than from vendors.
