...and long live Web 2.0 Mobile. That appears to be the basic message of a provocative post at Mobinode. Citing Alibaba, Taobao and ChinaChemNet as money spinners which are, at best, Web 1.5, the blog asks "The users can give you the contents, but can they bring you the money?". They obviously think that the answer is no.
This is their parting thoughts for today on the matter:
The users love the web2.0, but the Web2.0 have to live on the money. Well, it is not the issue only annoying the Chinese web2.0 startups, it has been discussed globally for a while. Of course I dont know the perfect solution, but I have a suggestion which I think it might work in China: Bring your Web2.0 to the Chinese Mobile market which is even bigger and more mature.

Thank you for this piece of interesting information, Mr Woodward. I'm running workshops on Web 2.0, so was a little shocked to read the headline. But "Chinese Mobile market which is even bigger and more mature"... Hmmm, something to explore further soon.
By the way, may I invite you to join the Asia Social Media 2.0 network? It's mission is to promote greater exchange among social media users in Asia, socially, in business and in education.
Thanks J.K. That's what headlines are for isn't it?
I'll give the network a try. Good luck with the project.
