The definition of Web 2.0 has often been debated, but there is one fact that cannot be denied: it has rocked the foundation of the technology industry for the past year. It is an evolution in the way we utilize technology on the World Wide Web. In the consumer services space, companies such as YouTube, MySpace and Craig’s List have shown that the user and, most importantly, the community control the web. In the enterprise space, software is shifting from the desktop to an on-demand model that allows anyone to work from anywhere with just a browser. Many South Florida entrepreneurs agree that Web 2.0 provides numerous commercial opportunities, and they are not waiting for a Webster’s definition before launching ventures in this new frontier.

The M.I.T. Enterprise Forum of South Florida presents an interactive program entitled “Web 2.0 in South Florida”. The evening will feature brief presentations by several South Florida Web 2.0 companies about the creation of their Web-based businesses, followed by an exchange of ideas moderated by a local Venture Capitalist. Hear from five entrepreneurs representing various stages of venture development and business models. Topics of discussion will include:

• How much capital is required to start a Web 2.0 business
• How Web 2.0 companies think about generating revenue
• How to utilize free word of mouth marketing and user-created content to reach demographic targets
