So someone came up with a site called "Go2Web20.net". This website apparently is the complete Web 2.0 Directory of all Web 2.0 sites. The site home page has a the icons and listing of hundreds (actually 2821 icons)of websites. The sites "About" page states that it is "A directory of web 2.0 applications and services, Born around mid 2006, 2821 logos as of Monday, February 23, 2009, As a visitor, you are probably active in the web 2.0 community and you are one of those labeled as 'early adopters', Thousands of visitors every day, There's a higher chance that you've been here before than that this is your 1st visit here, and Converges both Flash and AJAX technologies"
I started to search the different sites. Of course there are the commonly known sites such as Google, and Twitter, but there are also some really interesting sites. First one that caught my eye was ProjectOffice.net. I am a project manager, the site is set up so people involved in projects have a common access point to project management tools, view the work breakdown structure, the critical path, and other items used in everyday project management.
The next site that I viewed was called "Shopnics". Its a concept on how to compare electronics of all types. It sets up an X, Y chart that plots the item class you are evaluating based on user reviews.
Lastly I found the ultimate in web 2.0 experiences. 3Di OpenSim is a "is virtual worlds server software developed especially for companies and educational institutions that want to host independent virtual worlds on their own servers." In other words fellow techies, this site will allow you to create your own "Second Life" experience, where you can be god. The product is currently on sale in Japan and will soon become available for use in the US.
All in all the creators of this site (Orli Yakuel and Eyal Shahar) have a pretty basic but effective idea about being a portal for web 2.0 technologies.
