The document summarizes Jerry Michalski's talk on the user revolution and the effects of Web 2.0 on the financial world. Some key points include:
- Web 2.0 has led to a shift in power from institutions to users through new tools that enable social media, user participation, and collective action.
- This user revolution has driven costs down through open platforms and architectures for participation. It has also shifted expectations around control, behavior, and transparency.
- Financial services are impacted through a need to differentiate based on understanding evolving user preferences and expectations around interaction, goals, and authentic connections. This may require alternatives to traditional models around areas like money, lending, and exchanges.
