Web 2.0 Update
By Michelle | September 30, 2008
A little while back I listed a few of the web 2.0 platforms I found most interesting / innovative / useful (out of the hundreds, thousands that have sprung up across the internet). Here are a few more that I’ve discovered recently.
 |
Planet Eye: Interactive travel guide where users contribute pictures, reviews, and other information about travel destinations worldwide. |
 |
Del.izzy: Website that uses the google search engine to crawl inside your delicious bookmarks. I’m not sure how effective it is but it’s certainly a good idea. |
| Useranme Check: This site probably falls into the category of “useful” rather than “interesting.” It’s only purpose is to check usernames against a long list of social platforms — useful if you’re trying to think up a new username or if you suspect someone out there has been using yours! |
And this one isn’t web 2.0, but I found it on 100shiki.com and couldn’t pass it up: Netflix Origami (origami classics adapted for the shape of Netflix envelope tear-offs).
On another note, I read this on another blog and thought it was interesting and probably quite true:
While Generation Y (The Millennials) are entering the workforce with unprecedented knowledge of how to communicate with each other using social networks, micromedia communities, blogs, and all things social, their business discipline and work ethic are not comparable to that of Baby Boomers and Generation X.
Are we too caught up in the the tools, in the process, in the novelty of what’s current today and obsolete tomorrow? There are some serious problems with America these days… it’s kind of scary, actually.
