Gab's Web 2.0

What is Web 2.0?
Glad you asked. Basically it's the 'second generation of web-based communities and hosted services — such as social-networking sites (Myspace, Facebook), wikis (Wikipedia) and folksonomies (Flickr and del.icio.us)— which aim to facilitate collaboration and sharing between users.'

Gab's Web 2.0
Here are a list of web 2.0 websites I use and probably couldn't live without in the information age we live in. If you haven't checked out these websites out you really should because they make life so much easier.

Facebook.com
Facebook is online social-networking at its best. First it was Myspace with its original layout and addictive commenting. But now its Facebook with its even more addicitve applications and networking.

Netvibes.com (RSS feeds)
If you haven't heard of RSS feeds your missing out big time. RSS stands for Really Simple Syndications. And it really is that simple. So basically RSS feeds are an internet distribution system.

Wikipedia.org
A great souce of information, although people can get skeptical to wikipedia's sources. That is why you must be skeptical to all information from wikipedia and

Gmail.com
I switched to gmail along time ago and haven't looked back. I've used hotmail, gmail and yahoo (in that order) and gmail has been the most efficient and least time wasting email service. Everyone knows sorting out your email can be a waste of time and that is why I recommend gmail because it has the best spam filters. Also signing up for gmail is free and doesn't require an invite.

Blogger.com
I use blogger to blog. Simple as that. Blogger is a great website to blog about anything.

Answers.com
If you need answers and fast, answers.com is faster than google. Also with Alt-click you can hold down alt then click the word you are unsure of and a definition window will come giving you the answers you want.

- Will finish this blog tommorrow.
