I think we’re just now starting to realize the promise of Government 2.0, but we must continue to keep the pressure on, and take time out from looking forward to sometimes look back at the past.

Thanks for chiming in, Steve, to clarify to Mark that, yes, the new tools do ADD to the previous tools for social networking on the Internet (like the simple, but powerful, listserv).

I simply took issue with Mark’s statement that Web2.0 tools are different because they are “powerful” (thereby implying that previous tools were not).

As you said, “the details will change with each wave of new technology”, so I hope we all agree that, with each new tool, the Internet gets *incrementally* more powerful for social networking.

Are cars better than 50 years ago? Yes, but despite the yearly hype that a company has “totally reinvented” the car, the improvements were yearly increments that, if you were a car-nut, must have seemed “major” at the time.

So, while the Internet certainly changed the paradigm of mass communication, the introduction of certain types of new tools has NOT changed that paradigm. They only make the same goal easier.

And that paradignm, that mindset, that goal has not changed since the pre-Web1.0 days. So, from the LONG perspective, there is no quantum-leap with Web2.0. (And Tim Berners=Lee seems to agree.)

But I can still understand how people with a shorter view are apt to view the newest tools as being just “so cool” that, of course, they “will change everything!”

I’m just trying to get reasonable people to step back in order to recognize the hyperbole (aka, “hype”).

Social media today is changing the paradigm of communication, just like the the telephone did, the Internet did, and email did – that’s the same. What’s different is the WAY in which the paradigm is changing. Social media is allowing us to self-organize and collaborate in ways that weren’t possible before. The Internet opened up a whole new world of information in real-time. Email changed the communication cycle from days to immediate. All of these are paradigm changers, but in different ways. Sure, the details will change with each wave of new technology, but the principles of technology adoption and change management have remained the same.
