Web 2.0 at the European Parliament
,----[ Quote ]
| Similarly, I remember in the late 90s, when I got a flurry of
| requests to talk to government bodies about open source software.
| Not much seems to happen as a result of these investigations, at
| least not at first, but eventually the ideas do start to catch on.
| Government is definitely a follower, not a leader, but they do
| start to pay attention about 30-40% of the way up the hype curve,
| so this is a sign that Web 2.0 still has a ways to go.
