Last week I provided a very brief introduction to what Web 2.0 is all about (using the web as a service, sharing content, distributing content using RSS, etc., etc., etc.). This week I want to direct you to a site that covers all things Web 2.0 and actually awards sites based on functionality and voting from actual users.
I’ll highlight two parts of the site which are very beneficial, the Newbie’s Guide, with links directly off the homepage to various sites, as well as the Webware 100 Awards Site. Each year Webware receives several thousand nominees and goes through a weeding process resulting in users voting to select the top 100 sites and services. The winners are a combination of sites including standards like eBay and Amazon, as well as up and coming services like Vimeo, Twitter, and so forth. I think it will be well worth your time to review the winners and learn more about what each service offers. You’ll also see that many of these sites now interact with each other, letting you move your personal information and other content back and forth.
Let me know what some of your favorites are!
