I wish I was at the Web 2.0 conference this week. But alas I have school…boring, dreadful school. Even thought I’m unable to be there I still have found quite a few interesting “Web 2.0″ projects and sites lately.
- Netvibes - Web based RSS Reader with AJAX.
- Flock - New browser from some former Mozilla folks. A LOT of hype is surrounding this.
- Wink - a social search engine that creates a TagRank by aggregating user-generated tags from across the Web
- Zimbra - Collaboration suite for email and the like that seems to be impressing a lot of people at Web 2.0
The software on that list that I like the most so far is Netvibes. For some reason it just works really well. You can add whatever feeds you want on the same page. It also has a button so you can update each feed individually and it automatically updates. I am also anxiously awaiting the release of Flock. It supposedly incorporates blogging tools, tags and other stuff to smooth out some of the
hairy parts of the web.
UPDATE: Techcrunch is running a two parter on the companies at the Web 2.0 conference.
