Another web 2.0 nightmare!
Are you tired of looking for the coolest of the cooliest?
How many many web 2.0 tools does it take to plug in a lobotomy?
Where have all the braincells gone. or better yet, what's the appropriate temperature to slow cook a frog?
45 versions of the delicious candy store. Join them all. Get your wiki on... flick my bic!
Waiting for an online video wiki that can bookmark networks, auto tag your email box into clouds drag your myspace tools a toolbox that aggragates your tools.
Has the cool, fashionable web 2.0 tools lost its charm? Let's hope there's some kind of attempt to point beginners and lost souls towards the pearly gates! Why drag everybody through the same slowboat nightmare that the weenies put themselves through..
We all had to wait nearly a decade until folks finally acknowledged that information overload was more than just a catchy jingle. Most of the older users on the internet still don't know squat about what web 2.0 is let alone RSS etc. Why is that? Anybody care to explain?
Blog this blog that. Let's see... tired of learning a new programming language or platform every couple of years?
Tired of watching 50 K Lines of work all go for naught?
After the pizza-coke-latest-snuff-game rush wears off and the weenie life starts looking kind of juvenile, what happens to all that lost code? Why recreate Hal 9000 when real life beckons? Anybody ever attempt to guestimate how much dead coding exists out there doing nothing for everybody...
When will that change? any suggestions on figuring out how not to rewrite the same chore over for the millionth time???
Let's see. Young programmers with zillions of resources and braincells to expend, are all looking to find the next killer web 2.0 app...
How about figuring out how to bring your parents and the older folks into some kind of intelligent relationship with information and computers? Yeah, email web 1.0 behavior sucks, but how do you get folks who are afraid of breaking their computer if they hit the wrong key finally get respect for other behavior, not just belittling their rudimentary skillsets...
Making things dumber isn't the answer. The new tools are hardly making it easier for post weenie adults to move beyond email and google. I started this tirade with the problem that confronts web 2.0... Del.icio.us has no way to find and organize a networks. Nor does it have a widget or add-on that would allow more intelligent users to build tags from keystroke subject hierarchies (wouldn't it be nice that skilled tag creation might be somewhat better organized. The list of problems of delicious is very clear and extensive. Onlywire.com helps deal with some of the missing links, but why aren't tagging communities allowed to cross isolated platform niches? So Netvibe.com gives you a desktop to monitor your feeds, weather.
If wikipedia wants to jump into the future, it will need to add a new desktop resource for individual users that will make them want to come here to do more than just edit a public wiki.
The very same process that makes the creation of an encyclopedia so valuable, is barely realistic in dealing with the process of not only constructing a coherent definition of a specific subject.
Wiki editors are in their own world. They got caught up in the basic process of forming a document, but forgot about the process of putting together a community of people to create the document...
How many tool boxes have been erected in the web 2.0 world? text images sound and video...
Only 4 main physical boxes to organize. That's not too many is it!
What gets a bit tricky is how to bring the best of these 4 toolkits together into a series of important new future resources...
Old folks may have learned the first time (web 1.0) that something isn't quite right with the way we are getting overloaded with information. Go out and take a walk. Smell the air, listen the birds, enjoy the outside. We aren' gods, immortal or gonna end up like lawnmower man.
There are reasons to take a closer look at where web 2.0 is taking us. The computer revolution played a key role in stopping big brother from being even worse than they currently are. They really did want to rule your ass down to the point of total enslavement. They failed, an the mainframe is mostly a circle jerk for NFSer's and the like.
Japan has introduced a youtube knockoff that uses thumbnails of videos... ?
