A web 2.0 tool for finding web 2.0 tools!
It seems like at least once a week, someone tells me about another new internet tool I should be using. Since there’s never really been an easy way to keep track of all these nifty tools, I always felt left behind, a victim of “technoshame” (and sometimes even “technophobia). I thought this would just be something I’d have to deal with throughout my career. But now, an answer has appeared in the guise of a nifty-looking website called Go 2 Web 2.0.
This website lets you browse the whole gamut of web 2.0 applications using a convenient search structure. For example, are you interested in online social communities for sharing news? Click on the “news” tag, then click on “social”, and then “communities”. Three sites are listed, and you can click on each for a description before visiting!
Thanks to Go2Web2.0, I’ve dodged past that old foe technoshame. Now I’ll have to watch out for technolust (trying to use more tools than I can realistically manage)!
All the best,
