Intel 'pump' Web 2.0

In another sign that Web 2.0 technology is finding its way into businesses, Intel has announced it is about to launch an Internet software mix that includes blogging, wikis and content assimilation software.

Called SuiteTwo, it will bring software from NewsGator Technologies (RSS feed software developer), SimpleFeed (Web application development firm that allows marketing departments to deploy, manage, and modify programs). information with customers), Six Apart (blog software vendor) and Socialtext (enterprise wiki software development firm)

All four firms are considered to be pioneers in the Web 2.0 wave. In general, Web 2.0 applications are developed after the post-com period and have the following common features: built on open architectures, "stay" in the browser, focusing on matching interact, interact and share information between users.

Initially, SuiteTwo will target small and medium enterprises, then will gradually deploy to the corporate market, Intel said. Its price ranges from 175-200 USD / user / year.

Web 2.0 "Great tea"

Source: CNET This move from Intel demonstrates that Web 2.0 application has gradually shifted from the personal user market to the office and business. With Intel "collecting" discrete applications, aggregating and publishing into a software package, Web 2.0 will deploy easily and conditionally to become more popular.

Technical staff are becoming more familiar with Web 2.0 applications, but they still do not fully grasp how to deploy them safely and within control. "Many people, after downloading the application, are struggling to find out where to find technical support. Now, there is a name like Intel that stands for new applications, they will feel much more secure", specializing. Goulde of Forrester Research said.

According to Mr. Goulde, Intel was wise to choose applications included in SuiteTwo, because wikis, blogs and content assimilation software are both convenient and useful in the workplace.

For my part, supporting new technologies that users need is a good thing for Intel, and Web 2.0 software vendors can get a better software distribution channel.

Upcoming applications

Intel intends to add SuiteTwo to many of today's hot "applications" such as podcasts, virtual social networks and mobile applications. Intel will also optimize these applications according to its server hardware and Desktop and mobile platforms.
