3 Great Web 2.0 Sites

In case you haven’t noticed, there’s a lot going on in the Web 2.0 development world these days. A few masochistic folks have even been trying to document a good part of it. I’m in awe of them:

  • TechCrunch (Michael Arrington & Keith Teare)
    “TechCrunch is a weblog dedicated to obsessively profiling and reviewing every newly launched web 2.0 business, product and service.”
  • eHub (Emily Chang)
    “eHub is a constantly updated list of web applications, services, resources, blogs or sites with a focus on next generation web (web 2.0), social software, blogging, Ajax, Ruby on Rails, location mapping, open source, folksonomy, design and digital media sharing.”

Seriously, these two sites are great for finding out what apps are on the bleeding edge of Web 2.0. I just hope the site creators don’t burn out, because they’re doing great work that’s really helpful if you have the jones for information overload. 

 :)

Add these two sites with tech.memeorandum, which I profiled in-depth the other day, and you’ve got yourself three fantastic aggregation services. That’s what its all about…

Josh – thanks for the kind words about eHub. Keep up the great work on this site and your other projects. Burn out (and sleep) is for suckers :-)

Techcrunch and ehub are definitely worth keeping an eye on for the latest web 2.0 developments.

This is a new web 2.0 site to add to the family of web 2.0. I think ehub has mentioned them before, but I haven’t seen it on techcrunch yet.

TheBroth, The Global Mosaic is a global art project where people from around the world can create artworks together in real time.

Here’s a 2.0 VOIP/Free call service site for you.

http://TelePixie.com

They do wake-up calls, weather alerts, stock price alerts, custom reminders and even let you broadcast a voice message to a whole group of phones at once.

Best of all… It’s all free. Gotta love the web!

Oobing.com is a new entry in the web 2.0 scenario! Designed for the next generation, it offers all the features of a typical social network and promises a lot more. It’s in its beta stage…so do we see a phoenix rising??
