Web 2.0

I really like web2.0 stuff. The more the web takes over the place of our local applications, the less it matters what hardware or operating system we work on. Of course from the privacy view, if your work is hosted somewhere out of your hands, you have to depend on the security of the host. But then again many of these new web2.0 apps allow for local server installation and from a IT view, maintaining a multitude of applications on a single server makes licensing and maintenance much easier. Today on Lifehacker, I saw this nice web2.0 entry "Map your ideas with bubbl.us" It is a nice way to map out your brainstorming ideas. Being a linux user at home and a mac user at work, I haven't found a nice mapping package that was available on both platforms, thankfully I haven't had much need either. Anyways... this post is mostly a comment about web2.0 applications... you have any other web2.0 applications you like let me know. I've been tagging various web2.0 sites on my del.icio.us postings (look here).
