What's Next on the Web: a ReadWriteWeb Toolkit for 2008

readwriteweb.com — Some people say that the bubble's going to take a downturn in the next year or two - that huge numbers of copycat startups are going to shut down, people are going to be out of work and Web 2.0 cheerleaders are going to eat their (our) words.

  • marshallk, on 01/02/2008, -0/+5Post includes a bunch of OPML files, filtered best-of-RSS feeds and custom search engines for some of the likely top trends of 2008.
  • ani625, on 01/02/2008, -0/+4I sure hope digg will "grow" in the right direction.
  • smackhero, on 01/02/2008, -1/+4i'm guessing you're not a web developer. web 2.0 is not the second version of the web. it's just a term describing a new trend of web application development.

    the web, like all technologies, evolves over time, and web 2.0 is the maturing of the web as an application development platform. there isn't a discrete division between "web 1.0" and 2.0. the term was simply coined by tim o'reilly to informally designate a collection of emerging trends and practices that have advanced web development to a new level.

    if you're not a developer, then the term isn't really meaningful to you. but for most developers, there is a noticeable shift in the application and implementation of web technologies compared to 8 or 9 years ago.
  • JoaoPe, on 01/02/2008, -1/+3I hate when people treat Internet as a piece of software with f*cking versions and all !

    Internet is a tool, just like television. It's a tools that goes where people lead it to go. In the end of the day that's the final user (aka each of us) that choose what products should stay and what should go. Give me something that works (products) and I will tell you what's next !!

    They don't known where they will lunch tomorrow how the hell they known "What's Next on the Web"?
  • palmer, on 01/02/2008, -0/+1Exactly. Unreal that in 2008 we still have people trying to pretend that there's a "Web 2.0".

    And far from being "2.0" of anything, look at this outdated prognostication:
    "* A Custom Search Engine that you can bookmark and use to search inside the top news and reference sites regarding each topic."

    Um, remember "agents"? That was the much-hyped "new" trend in Web data-mining circa 1999, where "agents" would go out and find only the stuff that interests you.

  • EricAnderton, on 01/02/2008, -0/+1 FRENCH GUARD:
    This is the castle of my master, Web 2.0
    ARTHUR:
    Go and tell your master that we have been charged by God with a sacred quest. If he will give us food and shelter for the night, he can join us in our quest for the *Read/Write Web*.
    FRENCH GUARD:
    Well, I'll ask him, but I don't think he'll be very keen. Uh, he's already got one, you see.
  • sockpuppets, on 01/02/2008, -2/+3It currently seems to be trending as a news outlet for 12-14 year olds.
  • inactive, on 01/02/2008, -0/+1Yes, it IS a piece of software! http://www.digg.com/tech_news/Download_the_Interne ...

  • drewolanoff, on 06/10/2008, -1/+1sweet
  • RealJimShady, on 01/02/2008, -1/+1Dude, Web 2.0 = buzzword. You can't just take a little bit of old technology, a little bit of new technology, and a couple of social trends (blogging) and call this the next generation of the internet. The web has slowly evolved, nothing changed overnight.
  • benzillar, on 01/07/2008, -0/+0quite insightful.i would like to add feeds offered into my reader.
  • palmer, on 01/02/2008, -1/+1Sounds like an extraordinarily boring year then.
  • meshman, on 01/02/2008, -4/+3"Web 2.0 cheerleaders are going to eat their (our) words."

    Before you cheer about the second version of the web, you'd better make sure there is one first. Let us know when that happens. When it does, then you can cheer and then you can eat your words.
  • darknailblue, on 01/02/2008, -3/+1There IS a second version of the web dude! Where the hell have you been for the last 3 years?! Might I cite:

    - AJAX
    - WPF
    - Flex
    - Air
    - RAILS
    - PHP Frameworks copying RAILS
    - Hundreds of Javascript Libraries
    - A Million emerging social networking sites (the copycatters)
    - Web 2.0 visual design trends
    - Blogging
    - Open Source applications

    All these technologies and stuff are what make the web "Web 2.0". I mean its not like Al Gore decided to upgrade his copy of "The Web" to version 2.0 like he did with MS Office.

    C'mon man!
  • inactive, on 01/02/2008, -4/+1my boner is growing in the right direction
  • guy121, on 01/02/2008, -3/+0Copy caters never succeed in first place. All new ideas fulfilling some demand will always survive. There are thousands of thousands blogs out there trying to make money. But only very few are making good money.
