Web 2.0 And The Mom Reality Check
Over at the fairly new Dead 2.0 blog, its skeptic-in-chief is running some of the "consumer Internet" terminology -- terms such as wiki, RSS, and social networking -- by his Mom, who is not exactly an Internet newbie, to see if she actually feels driven to use these online services (once she's discovered what they are). And we've linked to the results.
It's worth reading if you are a person whose eyes light up at the sound of "consumer" and "internet" used in conjuction the way our eyes light up at a big piece of Black Forest cake.
One of the site commenters said that maybe his Mom is not the right demographic for his questions - maybe it should be "kid brother" or "little sister".
But then again kids don't give a thought to what this stuff is called, they just want it, or use it, if they're friends are into it, as a post on Bebo's popularity on the Irish blog, Free Roaming, makes pretty clear.
