By aplink Next up was Brad Garlinghouse SVP Communications & Community, Yahoo -  Yahoo were the diamond sponsor for the  event and Brad discussed the over whelming noise that social media presents (don't i know it) Of course the solution is YAHOO and how Yahoo is redefining email and services...

Semantic Web technology uses data portability to channel disparate data into one application. For example, a friend of a friend on a social networking site like Facebook might have very similar interests to you and has already travelled to Cuba, where you are planning to go this summer.

By Rafe Needleman The underappreciated Web spreadsheet EditGrid is getting a useful and cool new feature: built-in lookups to online resources. For example, if you want your online spreadsheet to display the current stock price of a company, or maybe its site's Alexa rank, you can now easily code that int...

By Cyndy Aleo-Carreira First up is the Make The Difference Network.

By Cyndy Aleo-Carreira Is there anything Kodak isn't doing right now in the social media space you'd like to see them doing? I think it would be great if we could get a social network going where we can get more user generated content. I can see that happening in the future for us.

By Rafa Vargas Feeds are the basic foundations for Web 2.0. However, I am very conservative about adopting new extremely popular things people like. Nor I like fashion, nor being in. That is the reason why I never used a feed reader until last week. Yes! I read blogs at any time of the day. I don't watch TV :P

By Rafe Needleman Acquia sells a commercialized version of Drupal, the open source content management (and Webware 100 winner).

By Alexander Wilms One pattern identified by Tim O’Reilly is a change in the business model of software suppliers.

In Web 2.0 com...

By Andy Oram Even Wikipedia follows this rule in some cases. There are some subjects where everybody in the world holds an opinion and a huge number actually know some facts. But other subjects would never see articles unless a couple of the few dozen experts in the world took time to write it.

By carlaking We look at the O'Rielly book sales to see what's coming. JavaScript and Ruby are growing. JavaScript is growing because of Ajax. Web 2.0, 3.0, 4.0, 5.0, has to have an Ajax interface these days. So we are all required, unfortunately, to learn JavaScript. Ride the Web 2.0 wave

I occasionally get requests to join private social networking sites, like LinkedIn or Facebook. I always politely decline. I understand the appeal of private social networking, and I mean no disrespect to the people who send invites. But it's just not for me.

By Josh Catone Perhaps the best exponent so far of Web 'wisdom of crowds' is Google, which organizes websites based on how they link to each other.
