Web 2.0 has completely transformed the way people obtain information online. Consumers are turning to other consumers for first-hand reviews and feedback of products and services of interest. A Web 2.0 approach to advertising involves the careful application of marketing to social networks and the blogosphere. Tapping into these new and immensely popular resources can make the difference between mediocrity and brand leadership for small, medium and large enterprises alike.

What is Web 2.0?

Web 2.0 is a concept that refers to the evolution of the Web into a platform for users to creatively collaborate and network with one another through applications, communities and second generation technology. This includes blogs, wikis, social-networking sites and other online communities, and virtual worlds. Facebook, MySpace, Twitter, LinkedIn, Digg, Flickr, Wikipedia and StumbleUpon are just a few examples that have become household names and are visited by millions of Internet users, young and old each day.

What Does Web 2.0 Mean to My Business?

With the advent of Web 2.0, the Web is no longer made of static, unconnected information silos that have only a single, unidirectional voice. As a global audience, we now have the ability to share information over this technology, and as businesses, embrace the Web as a platform for discovery and cater to its strengths. By utilizing this approach you are able to connect with a much larger audience for your product or service, interact with your customers, clients and colleagues, and through these various Web applications and communities, tap into the target market in a proactive but passive way.

Markets and brands have indeed become conversations, which can have a powerful impact on your organization. They can make or break a company's reputation, and help or hinder sales and acquisition efforts.

Many companies are now integrating Web 2.0 marketing campaigns for:

• Establishing and strengthening client and partner relations
• Marketing campaigns for business exposure
• Marketing and advertising for products and services
• Retail of products and services
• Brand building and management
