Web 2.0

By wondersteen Yes, I twitter too. When I first heard of Twitter I was very skeptic about it: does everybody have to know what I'm doing? But I gave in and started to try it. I like it now: not so much for private stuff, but since I'm twittering (now for some days) I saw funny stuff passing by as well as very informa...

By Andrew Day In some senses this is a bad thing; notions of technology being shared and free aren't going to appear particularly attractive to investors at the moment. In other ways, the withdrawal of investment and speculation might provide a more focussed, long term approach to the development of t...

By Sheila Women of Web 2.0 (Show #65) was indeed inspirational. I found that as I listened, I kept jotting down ideas and websites that they shared. This also led to the discovery that unlike the radio I grew up with, I could pause, rewind, ...

By mlibrarianus Forward to this year in May when I submitted to our marketing department, a series of classes (5 in all) touching on Web 2.0.

By techgrannie I admit it, I am enamoured with Web 2.0. There is something about it that fascinates me.  I know it isn’t new, that Web 3.0, the semantic web, lies just over the horizon, but Web 2.0 still has me in its thrall.  Each and every one of us wants to feel like we’re something special, that our lives make a dif...

By jimmydlg Web 2.0 offers an ideal platform to build Personal Learning Environments (or PLEs,) which helps extend the collaborative learning process fostered by Web 2.0 environments themselves. Think of PLEs as a network of closely related pages, each a tool for a specific resource in the set of reso...

By Richard MacManus What's more, Microsoft has managed to partner with a number of high profile but small enterprise 2.0 vendors - such as Atlassian and Newsgator.

By Joe Anderson I haven’t seen a new site of similar innovation of YouTube, Flickr, del.icio.us, Wikipedia or Twitter in over a year. Whilst this is far from a scientific measure, it is, in my opinion, a somewhat good indication. Most start-ups I read about are now just a mixture of old ideas.

By Fred Here's the deal. Everyone, including Sequoia, Benchmark, Ron Conway, etc, are still planning on investing in startups. They've been at it a long time and know that VC is a cyclical business. In fact, Moritz understand that the best time to invest "is when people are cowering under their desk...

Twitter: I agree the company needs to generate revenue and showing some ads wouldn't hurt the business model that much. As I mentioned recently -- I have started to use this service regularly -- but I am not promising I will have time to continue.

By Jeff Clavier Well, I would certainly not have claimed it, but BusinessWeek has when putting together this list of usual, and not so usual, suspects that includes yours truly. You see, what always troubles me having investors being “celebrated” is that our job is to help and support entrepreneurs, and...

By Michael Arrington We’ll look back in later years and think of this most recent boom as the Web 2.0 period, when we were wowed by the magic of user generated content, copyright violations on a massive scale, and neat little widgety things that used Javascript and Flash to turn web pages into pretty close equiva...

By Brian Heater Eye-Fi has carved out a niche for itself doing the exact opposite. The company's wireless SD card has added software functionality that lets users upload images directly to Flickr and Twitter. Owners of the card can also use it to create an RSS feed of images.

We didn't need Google, or didn't think we did before Google came along. I don't recall sitting around complaining about Alta Vista and Excite and the other pre-Google search engines, which seemed to do a pretty good job in their day. But then Google came along and was clearly better -- enough...

By Lee Dallas The underlying technology of social networking software is largely unremarkable. I've had heated debates on this topic but at the end of the day, the technical implementation is really just a CMS with a focused set of use cases and common data model. Sure there is SOA, and Ajax and REST (Oh My...

It's maintained on Firefox core (check out the 2.0 beta - based on FF3 which comes out tomorrow) so it's great browser technology - but the added social networking functionality is inspired and quite awesome.

By Josh Catone Perhaps the best exponent so far of Web 'wisdom of crowds' is Google, which organizes websites based on how they link to each other. Google sees links as votes for the relevance of a page. It is of course more complicated than that, but one can make the argument that Google works by utilizing th...
