Das Ende der Klickwirtschaft und der Kater nach dem Dotcom-Crash - Password Zeitreise 2001#06

Willkommen zu einer neuen Ausgabe der PASSWORD-Zeitreise! In dieser Folge reisen wir zurück in das Jahr 2001, genau in die Zeit unmittelbar nach dem Platzen der Dotcom-Blase. Unser Kompass ist die Juni-Ausgabe 2001 des Fachmagazins "Password", die sich als wahre Zeitkapsel der Informationsbranche erweist. Die wilde Party der "New Economy" ist vorbei und die Branche erwacht mit einem gewaltigen Kater. Wir beleuchten, wie Analysten wie Dieter Schumacher eine gnadenlose Abrechnung mit der reinen "Klickwirtschaft" hielten und die Rückkehr zu tragfähigen Geschäftsmodellen und echten Inhalten forderten. Begleiten Sie uns durch eine Ära, in der das Internet vor einem fundamentalen Zwiespalt stand: Können Inhalte im Netz auf Dauer kostenlos bleiben?. Die Highlights dieser Folge: Das Ende der Klickwirtschaft: Warum reine Reichweite plötzlich an Wert verlor und die Suche nach zahlungskräftigen Geschäftskunden in den Fokus rückte. Strategien in der Krise: Wie große Player wie die Dialog Corporation auf Konsolidierung setzten, um zum alles dominierenden Datenlieferanten zu werden. Technologische Meilensteine: Von den ersten Schritten der Fuzzy Logic für maschinelle Bilderkennung beim Wila Verlag bis hin zu den revolutionären Visionen vernetzter Wissenssysteme bei Juris. Absturz der Verbände: Ein ungeschönter Blick auf die tiefe, existenzielle Krise der Deutschen Gesellschaft für Informationswissenschaft und Informationspraxis (DGI). KI-Hype im Realitätscheck: Warum ein Softwaretest von Gruner+Jahr der hochgelobten automatischen Indexierung von Autonomy ein geradezu vernichtendes Zeugnis ausstellte. Vision vs. Realität: Wie das Konzept des "Profiling" im Jahr 2001 als ultimative Komfort-Utopie gefeiert wurde – und welche brisanten Fragen zur Datenüberwachung uns dies heute im Jahr 2026 hinterlässt. Diese geführte Tour bietet spannende Parallelen zu unserem heutigen digitalen Alltag. Um das volle Erlebnis, alle Details und Zitate zu entdecken, empfehlen wir einen Blick in die Originalausgabe des Hefts. Produziert mit modernen, KI-basierten Tools.
