Web 2.0

As I scour the Internet for new applications I am amazed by all of the new Web 2.0 developments and can only imagine what the future holds. A lot of venture capital is now being invested in some of these new companies looking for the next Google. In my travels I came across this wonderfully crafted site that has aggregated new and upcoming Web 2.0 companies. Take a look at www.go2web20.net to get a sense of what is happening on the Web 2.0 front.

If you haven't already used it Google has integrated Writely and their Spreadsheet application on the web.

In the drawing realm you could access Gliffy and have at your disposal an easy to use drawing and design application . It is easy to create flow charts and simple diagrams using the application on the web.

These are just a couple of applications that give you a glimpse of what is to happen as the Internet gets faster. Just for fun go to Springdoo and send someone a audio or video email. The future is exciting as more and more companies begin to weave their applications on the web.
