The two hands of Web2forDev: a conference summary

The author describes how the concept of Web2forDev can be visualised as an image of two hands. The left hand represents the main Web 2.0 tools. The right hand represents the issues we need to address when using them, considering people, access, participation, content and impact. Based on the reflections of the Web2forDev conference participants, the author discusses issues such as access and connectivity, the ôscale of changeö as new tools are developed û and how approaches to using Web 2.0 need to be interdisciplinary.
