Stages include: – The Economic Divide – some people can’t afford a computer and/or internet access. – The Usability Divide – technology is too difficult for many to understand (e.g. low literacy, seniors, etc.) – The Empowerment Divide – not making full use of the opportunities technology affords

The Evolution of the Web Web 1.0: The movement that took place in the early days of commercialization of the WWW. Back then the primary use of the Internet was taking print media and posting it online. – This movement is still going on and will probably never stop. This is because as new data becomes available it needs to be made available online.
10
The Evolution of the Web Web 2.0: After all this data was posted online with the Web 1.0 movement, the online community began to look for ways to share all of this data. The main question that drove this movement, “How can I take this data and share it with other people?” – Uses the concept of social networking to create a community – Types of popular applications include blogs, sharing sites (e.g. YouTube, Flickr), wikis, social networking sites, etc.YouTubeFlickr
11
The Evolution of the Web Web 2.0 (continued) – Really Simple Syndication (RSS) is a primary distribution method of Web 2.0 technologies It is a way for people to receive information from blogs, news sites, podcasts, etc. at self-selected intervals eliminating the need to visit sites individually. By sending the info wherever and whenever you want it, RSS is the ultimate push-marketing tool. Web 2.0: The Machine is Using Us (YouTube video) Web 2.0: The Machine is Using Us
12
The Evolution of the Web Web 3.0: Still to come but visualized to be the integration of data and applying it in innovative ways – Imagine taking things from Amazon, integrating it with data from Google and then building a site that would define your shopping experience based on a combination of Google Trends and New Products.

7 Top Online Marketing Trends for 2009 Increase customer retention efforts. Create more attractive content (especially video) because it cost-effectively engages consumers at many touch points during the purchase cycle, leverages internal resources, and aids search optimization. Develop more targeted and relevant communications to be disseminated across a variety of devices, including advertising, e-mail, smartphones, text messages, and instant messages. Better leverage communities. While social communities expanded and new niche sites evolved in 2008, companies must think more broadly about their prospects, customers, and other influencers this year. This means evolving beyond the engagement phase of dealing with customers to show them the love. Increase analytic sophistication to drive business decisions in a resource-constrained environment. Enhance search marketing advertising despite increased cost, because search engines are still the first place online users turn to find information. Continue to integrate distribution channels despite the internal corporate challenges and higher costs. Multichannel merchants will face increased complexity and thinner margins unless they become more efficient. Source: http://www.clickz.com/3632306 http://www.clickz.com/3632306
