Open Thread: What’s Your Web 2.0?

May 4th, 2007 (9:00am) Mike Gunderloy 12 CommentsTweet This

Here at Web Worker Daily we’ve looked at hundreds of Web 2.0 applications – web-based applications that let you create your own data and that have some social component. You’ve seen the endless parade too. But how many do you actually use on a regular basis? That’s the question being asked by a survey over at Engtech, and we think it’s a fun enough meme to roll into the weekend with. The rules are simple:

1. Link to this post and the post of whoever tagged you.

2. Create a list of the web2.0 sites you use and categorize them from “daily use” to “weekly use” to “monthly use”. Include links to your accounts if you want so people can friend you.

3. Tag a bunch of people you want to join in.

So how thoroughly Web 2.0-enabled are you, gentle reader? Do you spend your entire day online, untethered from any particular operating system, or are you just dipping a toe in the water so far? Here’s my own list to get you started:

Daily use: Twitter, WordPress, Google Calendar, Mephisto, Second Life, Del.icio.us, Digg

Weekly use: Flickr, Last.fm, BaseCamp, Wikipedia

Monthly use: Classmates.com

GigaOM Pro

Web2.0, AJAX mading the lead, then SOA, wiki, blog there are not core product. And massive involvement on the basis of support of huge storage.
Next step, platform of future, no desktop application, all running on web.

iGoogle, is the trend, personalization, AJAX now is an old technology. Microsoft’s AJAX can enable quick production speed. Flex is emerging to compete with AJAX, next year will be Microsoft’s WPF, will really see Rich internet applications.
Javascript introduced by Netscape soon would follow Java, would dimish.
