The quicksand of Web 2.0

Andy Piper has a really interesting post on his Blog about how fast you can get into Web 2.0, and be stuck:
It’s amazing how quickly this stuff we label “Web 2.0″- social networking, social bookmarking, social music, social computing, photography sites, blogs, feeds, etc. – can suck you in. Wait! I’m not saying that this is bad. I’m just making an observation.
And the list of Sites he’s using is impressive at first, … but then I started listing up my own sites, profiles and other stuff that can be considered Web 2.0:

And some more that can be seen at ClaimID. And right now I have to say “Oh my god, I’m a Web 2.0 Junkie…

Google & the media

It’s pretty incredible what reactions Google can create by simply buying another company. If it weren’t Google, nobody would care, but hey, it is Google ^^
And the deal was only sealed a couple of hours ago, now you might expect a personal comment from me… and I won’t disappoint you:
Google is great, and I really hope that they push the boundaries of what is possible, just like they did with their (still) incredible Gmail, but I hope it stops there, being an incentive for further development from others and no monopoly situation.

Office 2.0 here we go ^^

Web 2.0, a (not so) serious comparison

Web 2.0 is the thing going on right now on the web and everytbody is asking, “what the heck is it?”, so Jeff Zeldman has put together a nice comparison between Web 1.0 and Web 2.0: Clearly “Web 2.0″ means different things to different journalists on different days. Mostly it means nothing—except a bigger paycheck. But let’s simplify what The Economist is saying: Web 1.0: AOL buys Time Warner. Web 2.0: Google buys YouTube. Put another way: Web 1.0: New media company buys old media company. Web 2.0: New media company buys new media company. If we’re stuck with this meaningless Web 2.0 label, let’s at least have some fun with it. Here’s my new game. I’ll start, you finish: Web 1.0: Joshua Davis on the cover of Art News. Web 2.0: 37signals on the cover of Forbes. Web 1.0: Users create the content (Slashdot). Web 2.0: Users create the content (Flickr). Web 1.0: Crap sites on Geocities. Web 2.0: Crap sites on MySpace. Web 1.0: Writing. Web 2.0: Rating. Web 1.0: Karma Points. Web 2.0: Diggs. Web 1.0: Cool Site of the Day. Web 2.0: Technorati.com. Web 1.0: Tags. Web 2.0: “Tags.” Web 1.0: Bookmarking. Web 2.0: Bookmark sharing. Web 1.0: Pointless Flash widgets. Web 2.0: Pointless “Ajax” widgets. And the commenters go on: Web 1.0: 12px h2 Web 2.0: 51px h2 Web 1.0: Animated gif Web 2.0: Badges Web 1.0: Arial Web 2.0: Arial Rounded/Georgia Web 1.0: Bloated Table Code Web 2.0: Divitis Web 1.0 : Deserted blogs on Blogger Web 2.0 : Deserted blogs on WordPress Web 1.0 : The past Web 2.0 : The present Web 3.0 : The future Web 1.0: “Under Construction” Web 2.0: “Beta” So are you Web 2.0 or still Web 1.0? :D

Reputation Defender

Digital reputation is getting ever more important these days, especially after uncovering some stories that big companies have started searching the Web for informations about their new applicants. Well the solution has arrived: Reputation Defender. They explain what they do like this:
First, we SEARCH. We scour the Internet to dig up every possible piece of information about you and present it in an interactive monthly report. You can view this report by email or by logging into our site. This information is detailed in straightforward categories, including:
  • Social networks (MySpace, Facebook, LiveJournal, Bebo, and more);
  • Professional review websites;
  • Blogs;
  • Online news sources;
  • Photograph, video, and audio sharing sites (Flickr, YouTube, etc.); and,
  • Millions of additional sites on the “open Internet.”
Next, we DESTROY. You can select any content from your report that you don’t like. This is where we go to work for you. Our trained and expert online reputation advocates use an array of proprietary techniques developed in-house to correct and/or completely remove the selected unwanted content from the web. This is an arduous and labor-intensive task, but we take the job seriously so you can sleep better at night. We will always and only be in YOUR corner.
I’m pretty curious about how exactly they destroy information about me… If I run a website and post something about somebody and he’s decided that he doesn’t like it, what can they possibly do to take down my content? Sue me, hack me? I don’t get it… There is a simple rule in Online Reputation, just like in real live, behave well and don’t upset anybody, and nobody will ever blackmail you :D [via BasicThinking.de]
