In previous articles, we discussed the interest for companies in being present on an industry platform to find new customers on the Internet. Makes sense, you might say, since they are designed for that.
However, Web 2.0 is also about user empowerment, and in this case, a tool originally designed for a specific use can be “diverted” (in the good or bad sense of the term) to other purposes.
That is what happened on the Eureos.net platform. A student doing his internship in high voltage, and who had no particular knowledge of this field, asked us whether he could mention our site in his internship report.
Excerpt:
“I would like to know whether it is possible for me to cite your site as a reference in my internship report. It was a great help to me in my introduction to MV/HV, about which I had no prior knowledge, and it allowed me to take my first plunge into the world of high voltage.”
When we developed this platform concept, we dreamed of being able to build bridges between stakeholders in research, education, institutions, and businesses.
At least in part, that goal has been achieved.
