Troubleshooting Web 2.0

TAGS: Availability

Over the holiday break two contrasting types of stories were appearing about the future of Internet technology. There were stories about the wonderful Web 2.0 stuff and how all the promises of the "Attention Economy" as O'Reilly calls it are coming to fruition and changing our lives.

Then there were the reality stories about how hard it is to keep all this on-demand, next generation Internet stuff up and running.

The simpler and more pervasive services get, the more we all rely on them. But, of course there's the rub. When the applications and services are provided across the network we are all depending on things we don't control.

As the next generation Internet and Enterprise Applications become more on-demand and more intertwined, troubleshooting problems will continue to be at the center of more news stories. Stay tuned.
