Web 2.0 shifts software power balance from business to consumer apps ?

There is a fascinating piece in this week's Economist about how power in software development is shifting from business based apps to consumer based apps, and how businesses are now adopting consumer apps in and around the business IT function.

For those old enough to remember, the last time this happened at such a structural level was the invasion of the PC into corporate worlds in the late 1980s imho.

This is going to be a Big Disruption I think....Salesforce.com is just the start.

UK gets stand-alone site for Web 2.0 coverage

Carpe Diem......Sam Sethi and Mike Butcher have now set up on their own now, at Vecosys (that was Sam's Sethis old website, I don't know if they will keep that as the brand)

No news of any TechCrunch plans to re-launch in UK as of yet.

Postscript...Mike Arrington has written an astoundingly detailed post of the goings on here but no news of plans for the UK
