What is Web 2.0 anyway?

Well, to give you a definition I would rather just refer you to a post that was made (http://www.namepros.com/web-design-discussion/312715-the-official-meaning-web-2-0-a.html)

I think this post brings up some good points too.

First of all, Web 2.0 is not a term used for Design. It is used more for functionality as well as basically just commenting on other peoples work.

But, overall, cascadingstylez said it well, it is nothing more than some new word that had to get made up so it does not look like we are stagnant. The Web as we know it, will never be that way though, and I dont think that we need to make up words to describe what the web is, or what it will become.
It is everchanging, and always will be as long as there is an internet, the WWW is a great place for information!

I wish I could go - I know it will be fun too!

Unfortunately due to family and other issues, I can not attend this relaunch party of sorts for the .tv extension. Although the extension is not a new one as it has been around for over 5 years, it is getting a relaunch to help build awareness as well to start development of the brand name.
The party is set for May 1 - 3 of 2007 and will be held in Sunny California, in Hollywood no less (appropriate though). If you would like more info on this event as well as a complete schedule of functions there, please visit http://alwayson.goingon.com/permalink/post/8389

I am sure it will be a great event and the chance to meet lots of great people.

If you do go, will you bring me home a t-shirt?

Thanks for Reading!

Looks like the .tv market is getting competitive already!

Certainly, I did not expect that the market would get so competitive so fast, but it looks like it is - already!

There was a post on my favorite forum, Namepros.com, regarding some new tools that will be available to .tv developers. The post (http://www.namepros.com/dot-tv/320124-channelme-tv-beat-punch-kyte-tv.html) basically outlines the tools and brings up the discussion of Kyte.tv vs. Demand Media.

Basically, soem of the people that are over on NP, suggest that since Kyte.tv has developed some tools that now Demand will probably develop their own as well as improve on whatever Kyte has already.

I am not so sure that this should be an issue. Another poster in that same thread hit the nail on the head. Thanks to rodash for bringing it up, but the main challenge will not be developing streaming media, or widening the broadband, but more than that, it will be the creation of fresh content.

It will not matter who does it first either, Demand or Kyte, what will matter however is how that particular content is relavant to your site.

So I posted a new picture and I have some news too!

I decided to upload a ton of pics and start my picsaweb photo gallery. There are many folders, but more to come, and soon I should have them all organized too (its just a matter of time!) - so when you get a chance, check it out - http://picasaweb.google.com/UneekTT



And since I own an Audi TT, I decided to make the TTULL, which stands for the TT Ultimate Link Listing - which can be seen here (http://www.straightfocus.com/uneekttlinks.htm)
Thanks for looking - more to come!
