Here is a great link to “50 Essential Strategies For Creating A Successful Web 2.0 Product” by Dion Hinchcliffe. I’m about half way through the list, but some of the points are pretty thought provoking. Dion is trying to be quite comprehensive, so he has the standard “release early and often” advice, but also has more nuanced suggestions such as “Search is the new navigation, make it easy to use in your application” and “The link is the fundamental unit of thought on the Web, therefore richly link-enable your applications.”
This is a solid read on Web 2.0 strategy/design execution. I’d recommend that even experienced web executives take a look at the list. Even if you already know everything he mentions it is still a well written refresher on what makes the online environment so special.
