Web 2.0 is Driving Me Crazy
I’ve been doing a lot of blog reading lately about Web 2.0
projects and companies. It seems like they are springing up everywhere.
Most of the projects that are deemed Web 2.0, use AJAX technologies,
which if you read any type of technical articles you’ll know that this
is the hot new buzzword.
Anyway, I’ve jumped on the bandwagon and started going to some of these
sites and checking them out. I’ve been pleasantly surprised. Here are
some of the ones that I’ve checked out recently:
- del.icio.us (Online Social
Bookmark Manager – yeah I was late on this one, but I don’t like the
idea of all my bookmarks being available to the public. I’m just now
starting to get the hang of it.) - Previewseek (Search Engine that allows you to preview pages – must see, this is shit hot)
- Basecamp (Online Project Management Software – I’ve already started one project (free) to test it out)
- Ta-Da Lists (Online To do lists – from the people that brought you Basecamp)
- Memeorandum (Let’s you see what’s the most popular subjects being blogged about – there is a political site and a tech site)
- Flock (Next generation web browser – they are still in pre-beta so you won’t find much on their site…yet)
- Rollyo (Create personal search criteria…I really haven’t gotten the purpose of this yet)
- Zimbra (From their website,
Zimbra isan open source server and client technology for
Tell me that isn’t a mouthful of mumbo jumbo. Think online version of Outlook.)
next-generation enterprise messaging and collaboration. - Orangoo (Simple online RSS reader – hopefully better that Google’s RSS reader suckiness)
- Remember The Milk (Another online to do list – this can send you reminders via IM clients – neato)
real words and started making up stuff (Zimbra, Orangoo, there are
others I just didn’t list them). I blame Google.
That’s it for now.
