Web as Platform
Blogging from Budapest
March 19, 2007
I have to say that I really love Web 2.0. This morning I have been enjoying the benefits of being able to check my email through an Outlook browser interface, read through my RSS subscriptions with Google Reader and bookmarking several sites using my del.icio.us account. Here I am on a friend’s computer in Budapest, […]

Socialmeter — A Web marketing tool
August 22, 2006
Today I came across an interesting tool called “socialmeter.” This tool scans several sites such as Google, del.icio.us, Technorati and a couple of others to show you the popularity of the url that you supply.

Web 2.0 in my own words
September 26, 2005
I was challenged to put Web 2.0 into an elevator pitch. This is my attempt to process what I have learned and try to pass it along. This was a helpful exercise. From what I understand, a big part of Web 2.0 is about making information accessible. I have heard the term “content silo” kicked […]

The Future of the Internet?
April 14, 2005
I came across a thought provoking Flash presentation this morning. It is an 8 minute presentation and it predicts the next 10 years on the Internet by looking back at the previous 10 years.
