Web 2.0 moves beyond SaaS and social networking

Web 2.0 is no longer about social networking, SaaS, Web communities, or rich Internet applications.

At least that's what David Linthicum has found at the Web 2.0 Expo in San Francisco this week.

"It's about moving as many of the core business processes as you can to the platform of the Web. Or, perhaps better put: Web-enabled process outsourcing," Linthicum explains in Web 2.0 ... it's about process outsourcing.

After witnessing a flurry of new and existing products on display at the conference, Linthicum concludes that, "now you can design, build, deploy, and test applications completely using on-demand platforms delivered over the Web. You can access information on-demand, and now you can even share your core enterprise data on-demand."

Beyond social networking, indeed.
