So… How to design mobile applications for Web 2.0? Design for participation. Make sure everyone can contribute. Trust your users. Let them contribute, because they do have something to say. You might not like it, but it is important to them. And try to understand what mobility, the background quality, the connectedness, and the fact that you don’t have to consciously use a service for it to be useful, might mean. Make services that make the mobile phone users first-class citizens, and not just guys with crummy browsers and bad connectivity.
Web 2.0 means participation, also in the mobile space
Janne Jalkanen is a little bit upset with O’Reilly’s hype around Web 2.0, but agrees that “participation” is key, equally in the mobile space.
