Web 2.0 interview in IT Viikko

Finland is slowly, ever so slowly, waking up to Web 2.0. I was interviewed on the subject, “as one of the leading XML experts in the country”, in IT Viikko (a weekly IT magazine inside Taloussanomat, a daily financial newspaper).

The whole spread article discussed Web 2.0 as a phenomena, a technology toolkit and a possibility for making an international breakthrough.

Nothing revolutionary for people familiar with the concepts, but the article discusses briefly the following topics:

• Growing interest in investing on the area
• Public APIs
• Social network aspects
• Using and creating software as services

The article has been titled “Finns are late in social net”, a statement that I can agree to certain extent. But fortunately there is something cooking under the hoods, watch this and other spaces in the near future.
