web 2.0 malarkey

So you're trying to keep abreast of all this "Web 2.0" malarkey.

Well, first be warned, there's a lot going on, so be prepared to spend a lot of time digging. And I do mean "a lot".

However if time is scarce, and you just want a comprehensive overview, I'd just read these sites for now:

Scoble.
Rubel.
Techcrunch.
Memeorandum.
Om Malik.
Doc Searls.
And I'm also liking Jeff Clavier a lot these days. He's not nearly as well known as the other six, but I think he's on to something. Ergo, I'm watching carefully.

Rock on.

So I'm going to link to my own essay on how I think the future of the web will evolve, but only because I think I'm right ;)

"However if time is scarce, and you just want a comprehensive overview..." This is a job for... Squidoo-man! In the case of Web 2.0, that's the alter-ego of bespectacled Joshua Porter. See:
