In the case of the Web 2.0 Watermill, there are primarily four areas where technology is beginning to facilitate a vastly improved Internet: knowledge collection, knowledge discovery, knowledge building, and knowledge sharing.

- Ken Yarmosh, Why Web 2.0 Matters to your Business

Traditional collaborative and communication efforts in the business environment are soon to be numbered. Web 2.0 facilitates a decentralized yet more effective means for businesses to both interact with customers and employees.

Technologies likes blogs and wikis have already begun to prove their value as knowledge collection tools within and without of the organization. Blogs enable real conversation, thus allowing companies gain valuable feedback from customers, learning what they want, instead of trying to sell them what they don’t need.

Wikis simplify team collaboration and knowledge collection. The headaches associated with tracking file versions or passing hard copies of memos and documents around the office will soon be alleviated. In lieu of emailing the latest version of a particular document, group members can work disjointly via the web. With the click of a button, edits can be applied and tracked. No more worries about working off the wrong copy of a document.

While blogs and wikis represent two different communication paradigms, they both assist in knowledge collection efforts. In my next installment of this series, we will learn how these and other types of Web 2.0 technologies promote knowledge discovery.

Architectures of Participation: The Next Big Thing

Well, it seems to be finally happening. The Web 2.0 sites are starting to bubble up -- no pun intended -- to the very top of the traffic charts, with MySpace and then YouTube eclipsing each other in weeks. The Guardian reported yesterday that YouTube is now commanding 3.9% of all Internet traffic, making it the #1 site on the Internet. That's more than impressive given that they only started out in February, 2005. I've been covering MySpace and YouTube in my last two pieces (one, two) because they in particular seem to represent leading edge best practices in the social architectures of large-scale public Web sites. Ostensibly very "Web 2.0", both MySpace and YouTube aggressively "harness the collective intelligence" of their user's combined contributions as their primary offering to the world. In this sense, they have put their architectures of participation at the core of their product design. And wouldn't you know it, it's made them both leaders on the world stage.

Where to find the world's hottest startups

Where to find the world's hottest startups

From Aussie blog mining to Finnish friend finding, we've located the planet's most innovative new sites.

(Business 2.0) -- The editors have identified the Best business ideas in the world, which will appear here in a series throughout the next month. Check back daily for updates.

The term "Web 2.0" is used so widely these days, you'd think it was taking over the globe. And you'd be right.

The catchall phrase - used to describe websites that thrive on what their users make of them is no longer limited to the United States.

As Web 2.0 success stories like Flickr and Del.icio.us prove, this kind of technology is dirt-cheap to implement and borrows data freely available from other websites. A guy in his bedroom in Chile can come up with a novel way to navigate global classified ads - and, in fact, one has.

A lot of these global entrepreneurs are simply copying the biggest ideas in America's Web 2.0 canon. For every Digg.com, the popular U.S. site that lets readers nominate and vote on the most important news stories, there's a Yigg.de (the German version of the same).

30 Things You Didn't Know You Could Do on the Internet

30 Things You Didn't Know You Could Do on the Internet

Trend Buzz, Reality TV, and more...

Go Back in Time

Wonder what Yahoo looked like during the dot-com boom? Dial up the Wayback Machine, and you can view cached copies of popular Web sites dating back to 1996. For quick nostalgia trips, add a Wayback bookmarklet to your Firefox or Opera toolbar or Internet Explorer favorites; clicking the button will call up the archive of the site you're viewing.

Give Google a Face-Lift

Google offers more than a dozen services, but most are hidden. The GoogleX interface makes all of Google's goodies--such as Gmail, Froogle, Maps, and more--accessible via a nifty Mac OS X-like toolbar. Originally designed by a Google researcher, the toolbar disappeared shortly after being posted on the Google Labs site (most likely due to objections by Apple), but not before some plucky Netizens saved a copy for your use.

Yahoo releases free/open source UI library
Premshree sez, "Yahoo! just released the Yahoo! User Interface Library, under a BSD license. From the website:"

The Yahoo! User Interface Library is a set of utilities and controls, written in JavaScript, for building richly interactive web applications using techniques such as DOM scripting, HTML and AJAX. The UI Library Utilities facilitate the implementation of rich client-side features by enhancing and normalizing the developer's interface to important elements of the browser infrastructure (such as events, in-page HTTP requests and the DOM). The Yahoo UI Library Controls produce visual, interactive user interface elements on the page with just a few lines of code and an included CSS file. All the components in the Yahoo! User Interface Library have been released as open source under a BSD license and are free for all uses.

Link (Thanks, Premshree!)

General Lists (in no particular order)

Best Of Lists (The best is last)

SEOmoz's web2.0 awards

What Cloud Computing Really Means

What Cloud Computing Really Means

Cloud computing is all the rage. "It's become the phrase du jour," says Gartner senior analyst Ben Pring, echoing many of his peers. The problem is that (as with Web 2.0) everyone seems to have a different definition.

As a metaphor for the Internet, "the cloud" is a familiar cliché, but when combined with "computing," the meaning gets bigger and fuzzier. Some analysts and vendors define cloud computing narrowly as an updated version of utility computing: basically virtual servers available over the Internet. Others go very broad, arguing anything you consume outside the firewall is "in the cloud," including conventional outsourcing.
