There are a plethora of product lists and data about web 2.0 companies on the Web now, unlike 12-18 months ago when I had to track it all down myself. Of course my job as a researcher and analyst is to go much deeper than the high level product data - I then need to turn it into practical insights, recommendations, knowledge, etc.

The blogosphere is over 60 times bigger than it was only 3 years ago. New blog creation continues to grow. Technorati currently tracks over 75,000 new weblogs created every day, which means that on average, a new weblog is created every second of every day - and 19.4 million bloggers (55%) are still posting 3 months after their blogs are created. That's an increase both absolute and relative terms over just 3 months ago, when only 50.5% or 13.7 million blogs were active. In other words, even though there's a reasonable amount of tire-kicking going on, blogging continues to grow as a habitual activity.

一个叫Google Maps Mania的blog，一年来收集了大约数千个利用Google Maps API的mashup应用。而催生这一热闹景象的，是一对澳大利亚兄弟Lars Eilstrup Rasmussen和Jens Eilstrup Rasmussen。他们的创新，让其他在线地图都纷纷变成了Google Maps的模样。Google Maps的推出，不但显示了Web作为新的应用开发平台的巨大潜能，也证明了自由环境对创新能力的激发。Google Maps赢得了去年的Google创始人奖，Lars Rasmussen也受命组建Google澳洲研发中心。

Google奉行的是70-20-10原则，即70%的力量投入核心业务，包括搜索和广告，例如网页爬虫、排名、AdWords、图像搜索、工具栏、 AdSense；20%的力量投入相关业务，包括核心搜索的扩展，例如新闻、商品搜索Froogle、企业解决方案GSA、桌面搜索、地域搜索、 Gmail和其他沟通项目；10%的力量放在探索业务上，如照片管理工具Picasa、三维地图Keyhole、社交网络Orkut。

Go2Map一直以来都是眼睛朝上，以为讨好政府、大企业，就可以让自己活得好一点。实际上，Go2Map最应该做的，是眼睛向下，关注普通网友的需求。我们每个人都免不了要用到地图，Go2Map完全可以形成一个基于位置服务的庞大的社区。前几天刚好跟搜狐的人谈到了Go2Map，也谈到了Wiki。王建硕就做过一个上海地图Wiki，horse也曾经做过一个“中国人文地理Wiki”。把地图服务与社区文化、DIY文化、以及社会网络结合起来，就有可能孵化出很多绝佳的创意。
