1.0 out of 5 stars don't waste your money, August 19, 2007

This review is from: Web 2.0: 2003-'08 AC (After Crash) The Resurgence of the Internet & E-Commerce (Paperback)

This book is a joke, at least relative to what I was expecting. With it's title, I was shocked to discover that it was written/published in 2002 (my bad for not checking before purchasing), so it really does not discuss anything relevant to current trends in social networking, video sharing, etc. It simply speculates about the post crash Internet world. It is written in 14 point font with double spacing, making the 200 pages really more like 75. For $44.95 I was expecting a serious work on the state of web 2.0. This book is very dated and priced 5x what it's worth.

5.0 out of 5 stars Possibly the most sensible book to come about the net., November 14, 2002

This review is from: Web 2.0: 2003-'08 AC (After Crash) The Resurgence of the Internet & E-Commerce (Paperback)

I think the title of this book really encapsulates what the author is trying to say. The content is precise and delivered in a cogent and crystal clear manner. McCormack is candidly honest about where the net is going and his perspicacity is incisive. There has been so much written about the new economy that is faux-directed and trite. I think this book is a necessary read for anyone who intends to use the net for anything to do with their business.
