The Latest Pew Institute Report suggests that 45% of Americans turn to the web for help, which goes against the prevailing view that Internet helps create insulated individuals who depend on e-mail, IM and other net tools to get in touch.



The report says more and more people look to the Internet to find a job, look for business leads, make new business and social acquaintances, find lost ones and so on.



This is Web 2.0 in action.

Postscript

Here, by Web 2.0, I am refering to the cohesive, eclectic quality of the net. People use the internet the way they want to. I wasn’t referring to the ajax-powered, tag-everything web 2.0 idea. But I am sure that soon both of these will work in a seamless tandem.
