If you truly want to understand what is happening, read Paul Fussell’s “CLASS: A Guide Through the American Status System.” Web 2.0 is ‘prole drift’; a free society reducing itself (slowly) to the lowest common denominator.

Rob,
At the risk of falling flat on my face: I use juwo to record thoughts, skip to the important parts, replay the important parts. This is during meetings with unfamiliar stuff, classes, sermons, training sessions, conference calls etc.
Why dont you try it?
thanks,
Anil

Take a look at http://www.vibeagent.com – it’s hotel reviews, sure, but they do them in such a fashion that they’re relevant to you – they use your social network, your friends of friends, and other ‘nearness’ factors about you, in some huge learning algorithm they had a PhD put together – could be pretty interesting.

This is a brilliant post. Businesses that make your life easier and better are likely to be things you’d pay for. Web 2.0 businesses are built on being free. You might have to wait till Web 3.0 for some help.

Are you sure you know what Web 2.0 is? I don’t think anybody really knows, because it’s just a hype term, but I’m pretty sure that to say it’s just about reviews by average people is much more narrow than the reality of it. I expect you’re probably using Web 2.0 more than you know, and it is already making your web experience easier and more productive.

“I am asking you, the Web 2.0 community, please please please build something for me”

Or, YOU could build something useful for you. Just a thought.

Lord,
Yes, I have no problem networking for business. It’s productive and useful. And I do want to clarify that I’m not complaining about web2.0 sucking up my time. I don’t use the sites so that doesn’t happen. I’m just saying I wish someone would build something that I like.
