During a presentation to a customer around Web 2.0 and Social Networking, which sites do I use myself and why they could be interested for customer and their business.... So I really quickly write up this list, and just want to share it here...
http://facebook.com http://linkedin.com | Social networking... and many more. More and more important in business. |
http://flickr.com http://dailymotion.com http://youtube.com | Multimedia site... I am sure you all use it daily. I have used this to share pics about events (internal or external). |
http://del.icio.us | Social Bookmarking... |
http://www.digg.com/ http://www.technorati.com/ | Social links, content is rated by user. |
http://www.basecamphq.com/ | Project Management tools, you need to look to all the 37signals applications. Very useful |
http://docs.google.com http://google.com/apps http://code.google.com http://maps.google.com | Google services are terrific, as user or developer. |
http://wetpaint.com http://wikidot.com | Public and free wiki that I used to communicate with customers, coworker and friends. |
http://www.netvibes.com/ http://google.com/reader | News and content syndication. |
http://wordpress.org/ http://blogspot.com http://typepad.com | Blogs... |
http://amazon.com http://paypal.com http://ebay.com http://www.salesforce.com/ | I use these site as consumer, but these services are more and more important in customer business, and will be part of our job as developer/integrator. |
Hmm, when you see this list you can tell that I am a very happy Google user, and I have not talk about the other services that I use from Google: Gmail, GTalk, Analytics, Notebooks, and obviously the search...
Idem for me
ReplyDeleteHi Tug
ReplyDeleteNice list. Netvibes is a great French product eh?
Do you think there is such a thing as a "web2.0 operating system"? Things like gOS and AjaxWindows...
Angus
Angus,
ReplyDeleteHmm for me the best Web2.0 OS is... MacOSX on the iPhone ;)
I personally love Exo ( http://www.exoplatform.com ). but honestly, I am a big MacOS X fan and the different plugins and tools that are associated with the different sites that I use around Social Networking/Flickr and so on is for the moment sufficient to me...
Tug
I would answer to Angus and Tug ...
ReplyDeleteI understand Tug saying Mac OS X for the iPhone is a Web 2.0 OS ... and i agree .
- Considering some "Web 2" services are well integrated in the iPhone's OS (YouTube, Google Map)
- Considering iPhone's OS has a web 2 Look and Feel ... but in fact, i think many of the Web 2 applications you find on the internet were inspired by Mac OS X in term of look and feel
- Considering "Web 2.0" applications on the Internet and on the iPhone's OS have many things in common, concerning ease of use, ergonomy, transition effects between panels.
But i think Angus spoke of a Web 2.0 OS realized in Ajax technology : i know YouOS (http://youos.com) , that was launched last year. Many years ago (around 2000), a great Web OS was "WebOS", realized with same technologies (Javascript, CSS, DHTML) than Ajax.
