What is Web 2.0

What is Web 2.0 to you? I suppose it is a trick question. Web 2.0 can be almost anything you want it to be. For me Web 2.0 is about knowledge sharing and collaberation. Working with friends or co workers from around the world to achieve a common goal. So why blog about Web 2.0? At the Web 2.0 expo that I didn't attend one of giveaways was a shirt that asked the question -- What is Web 2.0. One of my co workers attended the expo and wrote about it on her blog http://danielabarbosa.blogspot.com/



Also you can check out what other people are saying about Web 2.0 by checking out the pics on Flickr.

Google will sell ads on Clear Channel - USATODAY.com

Google will sell ads on Clear Channel - USATODAY.com



I love Google as much as the next geek, but do I need to hear radio ads from them on the FM dial? Thank goodness I mostly listen to podcasts and XM Radio! Where does the Google empire end? Or the better question is when will the Google empire end?



From the article it states - Clear Channel said it has agreed for Google to sell a guaranteed
portion of the 30-second spots available on its 675 radio stations in
top U.S. markets, in a bid to expand the universe of local radio
advertisers to Google's online buyers.



I realize Google is branching out into other media outlets. I wouldn't be surprised if we see a Google Channel on our Cable and Dish providers. As I said I am a fan of Google, but when is it enough? What about working on enhancing my Internet experience. Google can work on the My Google page. Their are others that handle RSS feeds much better like Yahoo and Vibe. Although Yahoo hasn't change the page in years. What about changing the UI in gmail. I really don't like it. I do like the amount of space you get, but the interface is clunky to me. I moved my email back to Yahoo. I like the Outlook look and feel much better.



Ok now I am off my soap box. Remember to make good decisions!

1000 visitors to Wishnick World

I officially had my one thousandth visitors to my Blog today. I am sorry to report no special prizes are given away. Ok so one thousand pales in comparison to other web site and blogs. Some sites get a thousand hits in an hour. But I don't care! This is 1000 new visitors to my site. Not to be confused with page views which is around 1400.

Also I added my resume online. If you click on the Hotjobs icon on the right it will appear.

mobile web

The Wall Street Journal has an article about the mobile web. The mobile web is web sites that use the suffix .mobi to get to a web site. Think about the more mainstream web sites that end in .com, .net, .tv, and .org and replace with .mobi. The benefit to dotmobi is that it makes the traditional web site compatible for browsing from a mobile phone.

You can lear more about dotmobi technology by visiting the Wiki Article.

You can also see if your website is mobile compatible by going to http://ready.mobi/index.html
