Go2Web20.net - The complete Web 2.0 directory
www.go2web20.net/

According to their AboutUs page, the Go2Web20.net is a directory of web 2.0 applications and services that was born around mid 2006. In June of 2007 there were 1308 logos and 1635 logos as of Saturday, September 29, 2007.

There are thousands of visitors every day and it converges Flash and AJAX technologies.

Visit the site and try some of the logos...it is almost as fun as My StumbleUpon Page.



Speaking of which, if you have never tried to StumbleUpon you should give it a whirl. I have found some very interesting things on the web simply by sitting and stumbling about - not that I get to do that very often.

Gilda Radner used to do a bit on SNL where she would play "Roseanna Rosannadanna". The bit always started the same..."What's all this talk about.." one night it went like this:

"What's all this talk about eagle rights. I don't think eagles should be allowed to do stuff like sit on the bus next to me." "Roseanna", Chevy Chase would interrupt, "it's equal rights, not eagle rights!" She would abruptly reply, "Never mind".

I'd like to say, "What's all this talk about Web 2.0?"

Well, I think it is simply the best news to come to Educational Technology in a long time. Social Networks, blogs, wikis, podcasts... the methods of communication seem limitless. This year I am trying to focus on adding as much web 2.0 into my classes as possible. I have started by inviting several teachers at my school to participate in a "practice wiki"...check it out I call it Mrs. Fusco's WikiBoard
