Best sites for web 2.0 integration?

I'm a huge web 2.0 fanatic. I'm currently looking for the best "Web 2.0 suite" if you will. I want something that will integrate video, photo albums, blogs, calendar, chat, all that fun stuff. However, I want albums for my photos and I don't want stupid restrictions like the amount of photos I can have.

What is optimal web 2.0 set up to tag, bookmark, digg, stumble upon, my web, etc? Confusing.?

I want to begin again, so to speak, on the web with a new name, new blogs, and new ways to keep track of favorite sites and important articles. I want recommendations for the best programs to use. Even Yahoo seems to have duplication: there's bookmarks and delicious and my web--do they serve the same function? I guess My Web is Digg? What about Stumble Upon?.... Then there's email: Google Mail seems the best because of the way in which it follows back-and-forth emails and because of the icon that lights up when you have mail and allows you to preview the new mail. What do you all think? Is it important to do most things within the same company--for example, stick with Yahoo for all? Tell me how you do Web 2.0. Very interested!! Oh, and now I'm using Flock too....Thanks.

To what point? Will you really use all those features?





If you really want to overload yourself with web features, get Firefox, and download as many extensions as you like. Then play with them. I suppose you can waste as much time doing this as you like, but you will get no more productivity. There are a few really great extensions, and the firefox site even has a list of them, but in general most of these features are niche features meant not for mainstream browsing but for people who need specifically that implimentation. That's why there are so many of them.

Web 2.0 what the heck is it and how does it work?

Please someone explain to me what web 2.0 is and how it works etc......





thanks

Web 2.0 what the heck is it and how does it work?
I think Wikipedia sums it up pretty nicely: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Web_2.0





Web 2.0 is basically socially-oriented web design. Also, I've seen Web 2.0 used to describe the style of web design social sites and blogs use . . . plain color schemes, shiny buttons and bars, geometric textures, nifty dynamic stuff on the pages, that sort of thing. Good night!
Reply:do you mean the .net framework 2.0? please be more specific with the context of your question
Reply:Web 2.0 is a buzzword that doesn't really mean anything.





It has many "definitions" but it is mostly just a meaningless buzzword





One meaning is that it just a way of describing the trend of the internet to move away from the old order to things like blogs, wikis, and youtube. As opposed to .coms and newsgroups.

Web 2.0 Style Tutorials?

Hi, what are some good websites that provide "Web 2.0 Style" webpage tutorials. Thanks, and if possible, list multiples sites.

Web 2.0 Style Tutorials?
the term web2.0 is more referring to functionality (lots of AJAX) and features (like social networking). but usually web2.0 sites make use of css, good point to start is probably http://www.w3schools.com/
Reply:Jason, Web 2.0 is all about functionality. So in that light remember to keep your typography big for readability, but not overly so especially with paragraphs. Keep your navigation simple. Colors should be bright and memorable. Overall it should be easy to use, self evident, and fulfill it's dot com purpose.





Some sites (though not all tutorial):

Reply:Click on the "Developers" link at Mozilla.com. It links to several good Web 2.0 articles on different websites.





Keep in mind that Web 2 requires TONS of Javascript (or VBScript, or JScript, or Perlscript, or ...) for Ajax, DOM manipulation, et al and that it brings you back to the days of the Netscape/Internet Explorer "war" because of differences in architecture. [MSIE 6/7 are less than 70% DOM compatible while Firefox and other Gecko browsers are over 90%.] So you'll often be coding the same thing over and over again to obtain similar functionality.

Web 2.0: Implementing tags?

The trend in Web 2.0 sites is to support user generated (assigned) tags (Amazon, Flickr). Is there a recommended approach (algorithm) or a software application or a best practice document to quickly implement a tagging solution that is scalable (performance-wise)?


Thanks.

Web 2.0: Implementing tags?
My recommendation is to use a SQL table:





tblTag


int objectID - primary key


varchar(30) tag - primary key


int weight





This way, tags are stored as few times as necessary - if a person tags and the tag already exists for the given object, then increment its weight - otherwise append the tag. This should take care of performance (additional performance gains by caching the tag groupings by object).





The tagging score cutoff is going to be different for every site. It really depends on how many tags you want to display, and how you want to display them. In a tag cloud, you can simply set a minimum cutoff or use more sophisticated ranking logic to balance between number of tags and weight. (i.e. start with the most weighted object and keep listing until you hit the maximum number of tags or the minimum weight)

Web 2.0: no more tables?

What is "web 2.0" or where are the specs? Is is just by applying and using AJAX?


I read many comments saying that "tables" are "old fashion". What is to replace them? "Div" ?


I develop a lot with AJAX, Divs and tables, but I believe that a table, using % instead of width, are better for any screen resolution.


Advices ? Comments ?

Web 2.0: no more tables?
Tables are still available. Web 2 just has more powerful inbuilt features, but is still capable of handling previous features.
Reply:I believe tables are used less nowadays because of accessibility issues with screen readers. Check here for guidelines.





I heard it's good to use DIV with absolute positioning. This way, you could dynamically change the displays via different stylesheets.





www.w3c.org/tr/wai-webcontent
Reply:You can style div layouts with percentage as well. There has been no reason to use tables as presentation devices since 1999, when CSS became widely supported. Tables as presentation devices are an old-fashioned error in any design.


In any event, they fail to follow modern standards, which separate style from structure.


The table tag continues to be supported in drafts as a container for *tabular data* only. Ie., charts and other dimensionally related visual databases. Not as stylistic devices.


If you cannot get your CSS to resize properly, have a look at the many working CSS layouts freely available on the web and what makes them work.
Reply:The life of the %26lt;table%26gt; tag is not really related to web 2.0. Tables will still exist for tabular data ... but they have tended to be used for layout which is where they will eventually decrease in popularity.





Typically, and for lots of pertinent reasons, developers now separate styling from content, using %26lt;div%26gt; tags and floats etc etc which means your content can be properly ordered and your website is accessible to various users and with various browsers.





The biggest fly in the ointment is that a large percentage of people still use non standards compliant browsers (IE) which means there are a bunch of hacks you need to get to grips with, but that is probably easier to learn than the java script and table alternative you suggested.





Hope that helps





Karen








*** Added ***





Thanks for the comment Just JR, but sticking to the most popular (Internet Explorer) is where you see the problems. IE IS an non standard compliant browser and it IS the one you have to build hacks into your CSS for ... it is just something to be mindful of when you are using CSS for styling.

Web 2.0 characteristics?

What would the characteristics be of Web 2.0?

Web 2.0 characteristics?
AJAX,





social websites like YouTube, MySpace, flickr, those are web2.0 it's easy to see the differences.
Reply:Well, Web 2.0 is very user driven. Something that allows the people who view it to contribute and make changes to the site or help it in some way. The sites are also more dynamic and more user friendly.





The main technology behind Web 2.0 is AJAX. Although, flash is also commonly used for the same effect.





Some key websites are things like Digg, where the users vote for the main stories. Things like wikipedia as well where everyone can contribute to the site and change things. YouTube, MySpace and Flickr are also key sites in the Web 2.0 revolution

my boyfriend and I know eachothers passwords and I sent an invitation to myself from his web 2.0, but the "from" address said a different address - does this definately mean that he has a alternate email? I've check all his acct. options and there is no trace of another email...he absolutely denied that he has other addresses, please help, if he's lying I need to move on...


thanks

Web 2.0 question...Need help, may have a cheating boyfriend????
probably not. if you are seeing the header of the email, certain email servers have different addresses when they resolve. typically these email servers suck, but its not uncommon for them to resolve to something other than what their email address is.

Is Web 2.0 delivering on its promises?

My experience has been that a lot of user generated content out there is rather weak. apart from Wikipedia, the most useful stuff on the web is pre-Web 2.0

Is Web 2.0 delivering on its promises?
Web 2.0 never made any promises. It is an attempt to create a new .com era, with a newer generation of web technologies. No one company, group or individual is behind the movement. It's more an idea than anything else.





I've seen lots of nice Ajax web 2.0 sites, like Yahoo Answers to name one.
Reply:Web 2.0 is just a marketing name for advanced web technologies, like Ajax. The fact that content is weak has absolutely nothing to do with the technology or what you call it. Do you blame the printer or the publishing house if you read a crappy book?

Hi, which consumer web 2.0 services are likely to have most impact as enterpise services. thanks?

its a question on web 2.0





or what are - consumer web 2.0 services


- enterprise services

Hi, which consumer web 2.0 services are likely to have most impact as enterpise services. thanks?
Depending on the your industry, I would like to recommend that you take advantage of the targeted traffic from digg.com and technorati.com.





If your primary target audience consists mostly of consumers, I would write a unique article on how to do something, publish it your website, and then announce that URL on digg.com.





Do the same for technorati.com if you're trying to target a commercial audience.

Web 2.0 user provided content?

In this phase of the internet, web 2.0, we see websites that offer user provided content, the user is the content, so more people are obtaining those free products that users create and share with each other, than from corporation provided content, for example, the impact that had on the RIAA with the sharing of MP3s. or what the printed newspaper industry is going through right now. people are buying from other users like eBay, the user provided content is getting more attractive, may it be because users really know what they want? the only companies that seems untouched by the internet impact are Reuters and Associated Press. people are still getting the news from them. people are finding more appealing the users response like yahoo answers, forums, or wikipedia.





with the advance of web technology do you think the news of the future will be user provided?


would they prefer them knowing the high risk of incredibility?

Web 2.0 user provided content?
The AP, etc. have much more credibility than a random person on the net.

Web 2.0/meme map?

Can anyone explain the whole "Web 2.0" thing to me....I've been researching it for where I work. Also, a colleague of mine and I were wondering......what does "meme map" stand for or mean? We've been checking out a chart that shows/explains the web as platform.





Many thanks ahead of time!!

Web 2.0/meme map?
Web 2.0 is an ideology, and many view it as people attempting to create a new .com bubble. Basically, web 2.0 apps are more dynamic rather than static, and usually use some neat new technologies like Ajax. Basically, a web 2.0 app should be capable of many things that Windows can do, within reason.
Reply:Web 2.0 is a pointless term used by people in marketing, sales, ect. It does not have a real technical definition and you can only sort of classify sites as Web 2.0 (although since the definition is up for interpretation again it is pointless). Rather than having to use the proper terms or understand the technology behind the web application they can simply say it is a Web 2.0 application and that will make it sound swell.

What is web 2.0?

I've been hearing about "web 2.0" lately.. including that yahoo answers is built on it. So just what is web 2.0?

What is web 2.0?
The term "Web 2.0" refers to what some people see as a second phase of development of the World Wide Web, including its architecture and its applications. As used by its proponents, the phrase refers to one or more of the following:





the transition of websites from isolated information silos to sources of content and functionality, thus becoming a computing platform serving web applications to end users


a social phenomenon referring to an approach to creating and distributing Web content itself, characterized by open communication, decentralization of authority, freedom to share and re-use, and "the market as a conversation"


a more organized and categorized content, with a far more developed deeplinking web architecture.


a shift in economic value of the web, up past a trillion dollars surpassing that of the dot com boom of the late 1990s.


However, a consensus on its exact meaning has not yet been reached.





for more info have a look at the official web site:


http://www.web2con.com/
Reply:Web 2.0 is just a more standardized version of the web centered around XML. Most notably, rather than old fashioned HTML, websites now use the more standardized XHTML with CSS. This will help pages to display more uniformly across different browsers.

What is web 2.0?

what is web 2.0. I am UI designer, I use to make site with "DIV" tag and CSS ie table less site. Is this is a WEB 2.0 or something diffrent.


I want detail about web2.0, anyone has a detail idea or rules known

What is web 2.0?
Web 2.0 is generally characterized by web pages that run asynchronous scripts (Javascript, Flex or others).


The scripts usually requests user specific information from the server to render the page.


These information are usually returned as XML (or now, it is also common to return as JASON objects), hence the term AJAX is almost used interchangably with Web 2.0.





AJAX is Asynchronous Javascript and XML, but now, we use it to mean more than just that, and includes Flex and JASON.





http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Web_2





In a way, it has nothing to do with the UI layout design, so the use of DIV and CSS does not make a web page Web 2.0.


It is the scripts and the asynchronous communication with the server that makes a web site Web 2.0.





Examples of Web 2.0 : Yahoo Mail, Yahoo Map.
Reply:What’s it all about? Authentically, Web 2.0 is a phrase given by O’Reilly Media, referring to the professed notion of second generation of Web based societies and hosted services such as folksonomies and social-networks which aim to allow interaction and sharing between like-minded groups of users across the web. Or at least that’s the theory. However, If you really want the scoop on question like... Is this actually new technology? What was wrong with our old web, how does this really work and is there some style or elements where of it may be said, see this is Web 2.0?

Web 2.0 companies go public?

My question is why doesn't web 2.0 websites like youtube and facebook go public like web 1.0 companies aka google ebay etc


did..

Web 2.0 companies go public?
Youtube was acquired by Google, not Fox (Rupert Murdoch's company). MySpace was acquired by Fox.





Facebook remains private but likely will go public if it does not get acquired.





Whether a company goes public often depends on whether a buyer comes in before the company reaches a size where the bankers feel comfortable taking it public. Just like a public company, a private company has shareholders. Offer them the right price, rather than wait to see whether they can create a public market to float their shares, they may sell out to an acquisitive company.





During Web 1.0 there were acquirors like Yahoo and Google but not as many of them and the hype was heavier over a larger number of companies. Due to the fact we have more buyers and not as many sellers and banks are leery to just IPO a company with revenues but no profits (or no revenues or profits but just users) like they did in 1999, fewer sellers are making it all the way to the public market.





search using www.yahoo.com/search!
Reply:Because in the case of Youtube, Rupert Murdoch bought it all because he wants to keep all of the profits. In the case of Facebook, I believe, but am not sure, the original owners want to keep all of the profits.





Why should they sell their profits to you if they can keep them all themselves?





A company only goes public if it needs money to develop and grow. If they go public, they have to share their profits with the people who buy their shares. If they don't need that money to develop, they can keep all the profits.





If you start a busness cutting lawns, and you don't have the money for a lawnmower, but you are willing to find the customers and do the work, you might say "Nick, if you give me money for a lawnmower, I will give you half of all the money I make mowing lawns forever".





If you have enough money to buy your own lawnmower to start your business, why would you want to sell half your profits to me?
