Great topic - i’ll visit often.

Re: antonio v frederico:i don’t think terms like web 2.0 or mash-ups are over-hyped.

But I also believe web 2.0 *is* about the user and the breaking down of the relationship b/w user and teksperts.

now that web 2.0 has been named, it inspires ppl to think more laterally about its potential application, and allows end users to look for, ask for, and use the widgets we need to put data together in the end result we want. So to me mash-ups signal a very central concept of what the term web 2.0 conjures up, thx for talking about it.

I really like what you are doing by exposing people to new companies that are doing very interesting things and opening our eyes to the “new web”.

I wanted to offer a suggestion…

A great addition to your site would be a mashup with Google Maps to add the locations of these companies. I know, that I’d be interested in knowing which of these companies are in my area and ones I could make contact with. This could be used by your readers to help them collaborate with people/companies in their area or to seek employment at a local firm doing cool, next-gen things.

Thanks.

Tks Fred for the comment … but…

As you may understand on my previous post i’m more into the business side of it that the programming.

I really think web 2.0 is a step forward and a huge improvement on the present situation, but mostly because the concept is right not the tek - Ajax, Tide, what ever you want …

Mix up Services into creating better services, social webspaces they are all driven by a same sociological trend : the need of re-socialize with others.

So my point would be that a site can be WEB 2.0 without being done with Ajax or … the next big hype programming

Thanks for all the positive feedback everyone. There are some good ideas for future posts. Fred, get to work.

Peter, thanks a lot for the link. I had seen Piggy Bank before but I totally lost the link so finding it back is spectacular. We will, undoubtedly, talk about Piggy Bank in one of the first mashup related posts. Thanks again!

The SMILE project is KILLER and they’ve got a cool plugin for Firefox that is like greasemonkey but for mashups:

This is a great idea. I’d love more posts on mashups. How about covering “potential mashups” as well - mashups that would be cool but don’t exist yet?

Hey Antonio,

Personally, no, I don’t think it’s overrated and I don’t believe web 2.0 is only about simplicity as you imply with your reference to the KISS methodology.

I believe Web 2.0 is about decentralized content, emergence of services and websites as platforms, and a whole new breath of fresh air when it comes to businesses and investment on projects.

Craigslist is not web 2.0 at all. It’s a central place where people post classifieds. It works because it’s simple enough, it has strict anti-spam rules and it works in areas that are seriously into the whole community effort.

Hi,
Dont you think this Web 2.0 is bein a bit too over-rated, Web semantic is not about TeKnology but about the user, putting them on the center of the site - look at Craigs sucess its not about the teks its about the people and the way they use … so WEB 2.0 may also juste be Keep it Simple, Stup….

Hi,
I think this is a good place for me to introduce the web service we’re working one : Netvibes. It is a nice and intuitive Web2.0 customizable homepage where you can add rss feeds, import OPML, play podcasts, and other specific module to display weather, webnotes, web search, ..

Check it out at:
