Gartner’s Top Ten Disruptive Technologies for 2008-2012…

Gartner recently released it’s list of Top Ten Disruptive Technologies for 2008-2012 and it’s interesting to see what made the list:
Multicore and hybrid processors Virtualisation and fabric computing Social networks and social software Cloud computing and cloud/Web platforms Web mashups User Interface Ubiquitous computing Contextual computing Augmented reality Semantics
It’s also interesting to see how it compares to the list of Top Ten Strategic Technologies for 2008 that was published back in October 2007.

Not sure what makes some technologies Disruptive and others Strategic, but the four that are both Strategic and Disruptive are:
Mashups and Composite Apps Web Platform & WOA/Cloud Computing Social Software Virtualization/Fabric Computing

Loraine Lawson says wryly, “In short, whether it’s cloud computing, SaaS or Web 2.0, you’ve still got to integrate it. ”
I couldn’t agree more. But I think the kinds of integrations that are going to be built will be different from what we generally [...]
Great day at Web 2.0….

Day two wrapped up here at Web 2.0. A few points to mention.
1. Up until we registered to attend, I thought the attendees were mainly of the Blog/Wiki/SocialNet variety. Boy was I wrong. Lots and lots of Fortune 100 companies there looking for ways to ‘bring Web 2.0 into their enterprise’. Let’s [...]
SnapLogic 2.0 Enables Really Simple Integration….
Posted 22 April, 2008 by Chris in mashup
We’ve been working really hard for the past several months on an updated version of our data integration framework. What we learned since we first launched last year was that the Web was even more prominent in user’s plans than we had predicted.
