The Death Of “Web 2.0″

I think that  Robin Wauters over at TechCrunch has a great summation of the death of Web 2.0.  Check it out and leave a comment.

The Death Of “Web 2.0″ .

Podiobooks.com Is Amazing.

I am a huge fan of audiobooks.  The free ones, like a free cup of coffee are the best.  I was watching 'Internet Superstar" and heard about a great author who is offering his serialized audiobook on line for free through a website called Podiobooks.  I thought as an avid audiobook listener it was worth a look.  Let me tell you, this is an amazing audiobook site full of excellent work under the creative commons license and totally free (donations optional).  I am listening to two audiobooks currently, '65 Below' and 'Infected' and loving them.  When you sign up for an account, you subscribe to the audiobook(s) of your choice from the catalogue, and then select how often you want a chapter delivered to your itunes account (or other podcatcher) in the form of a podcast.  I have mine set for every three days.  Check this site out if you love audiobooks like I do!

Dropbox Invites To Give Away

I have been using Dropbox as a Mobileme's iDisk Substitute for cloud storage mainly because I use the Mac GTD app Things.  The purpose of Dropbox in this context is so I can sync across several Macs by pointing Things at the Dropbox folder on each Mac. The suggestion came from the Cultured Code Things forum that I give Dropbox a try, and it works like a charm.  Without any question this is the best iDisk alternative.  You can check it out at www.getdropbox.com if you like. And Dropbox has created a snappy iPhone web interface to boot. Unfortunately it is an invite only beta at this point, so....

I have 9 Dropbox invites to give away.  First come first serve.

Joost Invites To Give Away

Apparently Joost is not as popular as I thought... Or, I spend to much time one the net compared to those I associate with. I have asked all of my friends if they would like a Joost invite, and the most common response is "What is Joost?" from the look of absolute horror on my face in response to this people ask "what is wrong?" To that I say "am I the only person plugged into the Internet?" I realize that it is just series of tubes, but dang... Joost is everywhere in the space isn't it? Anyway, I have two invites that expire on the 22nd, and am now offering them to the first two posters to this comment.

Searchmash

Searchmash is googles new search engine that has a web 2.0 feel, and is customizable to the searcher. If Google implements this search engine as a replacement for their current offering, they will most certainly secure an already tight grip on the search engine game. I am using this as my default search engine and I suggest you give it a try. Happy searching...

Love it or hate it movies

Love it or hate it movies: "Why are the top five most requested netflix movies also on the list of movies that people either love or hate? What makes these movies so contentious?"

Addiction level set to 10 - Marvin Spectrum

This game is one of the most addictive games I have come across on the net in a while. Dubbed the Marvin Spectrum, you run through an obstacle course where you use the up, down, and left arrow keys. I have lost hours of my life I will never get back... First seen on Digg, then on Lifehacker Marvin Spectrum has all the trappings of something viral.

Google Trickery

I was cruising Lifehacker this morning, and came across this link that details how to use the google search engine to find .mp3's on the net. This is an alternative to using limewire or other p2p software solutions, but without taking up any HD space for the app, and any accompanying spyware.
