« Harnessing the Latent Energy in a Community | Weblog | WiMax - Slow Train Coming » Oodles of Web 2.0 LinksI'm doing my best to stay on topic on this web log -- all about MetroNets -- really I am, but I just couldn't resist sharing this info with you all. SciFi writer Bruce Sterling has a blog on Wired Magazine, Beyond the Beyond, and on Feb 17, he wrote this short article titled "Web 2.0: Does it Exist, and Why on Earth Should You Care." I owe these great links to Bruce. What cool pages - bookmark these, they are great resources! If you're not familiar with the term Web 2.0, don't worry - its still very new. This term is being used by those forward thinkers out there who are speculating on what the Web has become/will become. The idea is that websites are becoming more interactive and websites that include features like blogs, wikis and podcasts - tools for interactivity - are providing more utility than older websites, and those websites define what people mean when they use that term. The on-line world is changing. It is really exciting! Web 2.0 is really a term you should become familiar with. As the saying goes, sometimes a picture is worth a thousand words, so forget about Googling the term or looking on Wikipedia - well, here that is if you really want to read about it first. Or, you could read Best (Or Most Interesting) Web 2.0 Definitions and Explanations. Reminds me of how Microsoft tried to describe Dot Net a few years ago - I still don't get that. But if you want to skip reading about Web 2.0 and just go out and experience it, bookmark this page and check out the 162 links on it - what the site claims is the Complete List of Web 2.0 Products and Services. If that's not enough, check out also The Best Web 2.0 Software of 2005. After you've digested all this, please come back and tell me what you think Web 2.0 means to you - I already get this phenomenon better than I ever understood Dot Net. Let's just hope we don't live to see a Dot Net 2.0.... Posted on February 22, 2006 at 09:22 PM CommentsPost a comment |
