My Picks: Netvibes:.The most fantastic one I think I was stunned by this site as it provides the ultimate personalized web.It will provide a wonderful start page.While many of the major Web companies like Microsoft and Google now Yahoo are offering competing products, none of them are yet very good I think.There are a rapidly growing number of Ajax start pages that allow your favorite content to be displayed, rearranged, and viewed dynamically whenever you want but I will say this is best from my personal experience.This site is a must hav for a web surfer to be personalized with.Best of 2005 Del.icio.us : You guys can bookmark our articles in this pick-up-from-anywhere social bookmarking sevice.U can bookmark any link and make it public using tags.U can categorize subjects.Even my browser is clogged up with bookmarks.But how much i can store?Let information be passed to all.U can make public ur bookmarks.Anywhere geekz got hunted.This site being bought by My Yahoo!.Yup they started another social bookmarking++ and other Web 2.0 service as My Web2.0 (beta). But del.icio.us remains the best, largest, fastest, and most elegant social bookmarking service on the Web. In fact, del.icio.us is the benchmark that all others use. If you want access to your bookmarks anywhere you go along with engaging and satisfying functionality, this is your first stop. Live with tag cloud.Its all in one Linkpark….Best of 2005 Flickr:Most of you are the users of flickr service.Most people share their images through flickr.Its based on Ajax.All those image resizing etc online done bye the technology of Web 2.0thus reducing page loads as u feel. Also acquired by Yahoo! earlier this year flickr. Flickr provides an open API, prepackaged licensing models for your photos, tagging, a variety of community involvement mechanisms, and a vast collectionof add-ons and mashups. There are other sites but none of them compare yet. Flickr is one of the Web 2.0 shiny icon anda good hub for blogsters for sharing pics.Best of 2005 Other Picks n bytes: All though I m using only some of the services from Web 2.0 world.I want to tell some other services. Digg: As some of you hav noticed the side bars used here .They are rss feeds put on website through rss to javascript converters.Digg is a technology news website that employs non-hierarchical editorial control. With digg, users submit stories for review, but rather than allowing an editor to decide which stories go on the homepage, the users do.Visit the site.Make it a del.icio.us one..Will u? Furl: It is your personal web site where you can store bookmarks and archive web pages. You can also learn what web sites others find interesting. Furl gives you 5 gigabytes of web space to store pages. Furl allows you to save anything you view on the web.You can download extention for Furling..You can furl this page and publish in ur blog just a click .Go Furling… Voo2do: Ever more of the software we use on a daily basis is moving online, from e-mail to feed readers. To-do list managers are no exception. Its online to do list manager.Any software engineers there?Join voo2do.Donn forget your TPS reprts… Katrinalist.net: Web 2.0 and people..Katrinalist.net , it remains one of the best examples Web 2.0. Katrinalist was an emergent phenomenon that triggered the peer production of vital information in the aftermath of this year's hurricane disaster in New Orleans. In just a handful of days participants created XML data formats, engineered data aggregation from RSS feeds, and harnessed volunteer efforts on-the-fly to compile survivor data from all over the Web. This led to tens of thousands of survivor reports being aggregated into a single database so that people could easily identify and locate survivors from the Katrinalist Web site. All this despite the fact that the information was distributed in unstructured formats from all over the Web with no prior intent of reuse. David Geilhufe made Katrinalist happen.To influence the society is most important part of technology, and its powered with web 2.0. Writely:Easy to set-up, fast, free (in beta), and familiar to those with even a passing familiarity to MS word, Wrietly is an effective and easy to use online word processor. With its WSIWYG editor, users can change font and font size, spell check and insert images (up to 2MB). It also uses tagging and version control, both excellent features for any word processor. A very useful word processing tool, especially for those who can't afford to buy MS Office. In addition to being a word processor, Writely.comalso serves as a collaboration tool. Users invite others to collaborate on a certain documents via email. It is can also serve as a tool to help a user blog and publish. Built with an AJAX user interface, it maximizes many of the new features available with Web 2.o. It ends, once and for all, any uncertainty that productivity tools can and should stay online. Writely is the best out there but just by a nose. CalendarHub Online calendaring is a rapidly growing product category in the Web 2.0 software arena. The fact is that a lack of good, shareable electronic calendars is still a real problem these days. I'm fond of saying that the software world has vast collections of synchronization utilities and integration capabilities, yet it's incredible that we still can't routinely do simple things like keeping our personal, family, and work calendars synchronized… I m sure the list is not enough.Market is nourishing.Its a new cyberworld world .Where will those url artifacts go?To a web museum??I m sure that todays web surfing wont look the same in experience tomorrow..feel news waves.. Expect more vibz in coming posts..
