Book: “Web 2.0”

Quote: “For Technorati, a lot of Web 2.0 is about authenticity, accountability, interaction, and this idea of the people powered or the social web.”

Chapter 5

I expect to learn what Dorian Carroll will have to say about his works for his company. And I also expect to learn what can he say about the web 2.0. what do you think is his contribution on the definition of the web 2.0? do you think it will have an impact in the computer industry? I also expect to learn what are the contributions of his works for the web 2.0.

The Technorati site focuses on the  side of Web 2.0 that spotlights blogs and the individuals that make them and they track mare than 100 million blogs and more than a quarter of a billion pieces of tagged content. The vice president of engineering of Technorati worked with companies like posini,Excite Home, Electronic arts and oracle and is an expert in search, email processing, e - commerce, CRM ad targeting and other web enterprise technologies which makes him the best bet in his field and the right person to talk to about Technorati and Web 2.0. Just past his third year for the company he has dealt with large-scale internet applications, data bases cause he is known for being the data junkie but prior

to technorati he worked three years  running anti-spam engineering that have grown from 5 million messages to a hassling 500 million a day. patient work like lots of text processing,large0scale systems and distributed systems and even before that he was at Excite running internal ad-serving, reporting, partnering out it's shopping channel, large internet with lots of potential and going through it with nothing but dedication and passion, challenges are easy to go through, and making money is just really an added bonus, thinking that his talents are being able to understand complex problems on a large scale and figuring out a way to match them to a companies needs, not just the side of technology, and even before that he worked for Electronic Arts for for years building P&L systems, data warehouses, point of sales and analysis systems as they slowly transformed into a giant gaming industry, and even before that he was at oracle for three years also building the CRM apps before CRM was called CRM, so with 20 years under his belt doing a variety of things and contributing to our modern way of living today, affecting the lives of a billion people, he is without a doubt the right kind of person to talk to about Technorati. Technorati was founded by Dave Sifry and a couple of people that he brought in. the first year rode on the need of inventing something that hasn’t existed yet, something gresh, recognizing the potential of blogging. Dave as a blogger himself who was also into a kind of self-publishing it wasabout realizing a way to find people with the means that are actually referencing him. One of these things with blog-publishing platforms and with moving into that Web 20. concept was for people to be able to recognize each other, build communties,relationships and connections that were innately impossible before, and before he knew it these things started to happen in near-real time and from a very pure, ego-driven perspective and this was what they had to remedy. blogging was not yet a household name in 2004 but gradually it started to take off and that's when we started to ask people and find out which facets of the site they were focusing on and that is what makes Technorati what it is today.

I learned that the web today is now a one way web, were people are communicating in the same tool of what other people that are using in the net. In our time one people can now communicate with a mass audience like most of whom that they still not encountered.
