ON THE FRONTIERS OF WEB 2.0
PC World magazine has named their ” 25 Websites to Watch” ( hat tip to Mrs. Zenpundit) though how many will still exist in 2 years is an open question. Some of these, I have immediate use for; others, I’m not sure how anyone outside of an undergraduate munching cheetos in a dorm room will have the time. I suggest you read the article, as my opinion on tech matters is of negligible weight.
Here are the sites they have chosen by category and see for yourselves. Epistles from the tecno-geek blog set, on the merits of any of these sites, are welcomed.
Mashups, Maps, and More:
Popfly, Yahoo Pipes, BuzzDash, Wayfaring, CircleUp .
Organizers, Searchers and Optimizers:
Pageflakes, Spock, Swivel, Clipmarks, OpenDNS .
Real Estate, Bookmarks and Blogs:
Trulia, PopURLs, Groowy, BlogBackupOnline, Ma.gnolia .
Five ways to Create and Share:
Yodio, Meebo Rooms, Squidoo, SpashCast, Eyespot .
Sites for Collaborative Work and Play:
Approver, Pbwiki, MyPunchBowl, Picnik, Quintura .

I’ve never heard of most of these, except for Yahoo pipes, and Pageflakes. I’ve been using Pageflakes for a while now and think it rises above many feed readers. I particularly like the fact that it allows me to share my blogroll with everyone.

Hi NY,
I just tried Quintura – pretty cool variation on the search engine format.

I thought I would share this with everyone on this blog. Do not buy web2submitter until you read this review. Yesterday I decided to buy the web2submitter . My decision was first of all based upon that web 2.0 is a very interesting method to get new visitors, by that I mean to attract new visitors from the various social networking sites.
