I’m making yet another attempt at a regular branded list of Web 2.0 links. Let me admit straight up that I’ve copied the following format from Ypulse, Anastasia Goodstein’s excellent site that covers New Media for Generation Y. Imitation is the sincerest form of flattery, as I have discovered, so I thought it’s worth giving this a go on my blog.
– Mash-Ups the wild wild west of the Web (pretty good business overview of Web 2.0 and Remix Culture – and don’t miss the slide show ‘Sampling the Web’s Best Mash-Ups’) – Steve Rubel wants Microsoft to bet the company on Web 2.0 (in the comments, I pointed to my own analysis of Microsoft and Web 2.0 – in short, I think millions of Windows-run ‘devices’ will be their interface into Web 2.0) – Om Malik gets cozy with Marc Andressen (I like Marc’s point that new minds and new tech talents will grow in places “we would have never looked before”. right on!) – Latest Harry Potter book digitally pirated within 12 hours (a fully scanned + proofread ebook within 12 hours… I still don’t want to read it though) (via waxy) – More great Tim O’Reilly Web 2.0 quotes (someone advised me recently that I need to work on my “pithy quotes”, if I’m to get any mainstream press coverage as an analyst – see Red Herring link below) – RSS Goes Corporate (I gave some background info for this Red Herring article, but I don’t rate a mention) – You can’t sell content online (Mary Hodder says selling services that help manage data and content – such as filtering, search and aggregation – is where the money is) – Charlie Wood forsees the rise of post-processing feed services, such as inserting ads into feeds. (what’s really interesting will be the non-advertising services. e.g. how about more remixing functionality) – News Corp buys MySpace owner for $580 million (I hadn’t realized that mainstream music groups like Black Eyed Peas and R.E.M. streamed their latest releases on MySpace) – Does MySpace sale signal Web 2.0 peak? (I agree with Adam Rifkin in the comments, it’s only just begun!)
