What is Web 2.0?
Seriously, if you know please tell us, leave a comment because we are stumped.
As far a we can tell 2.0 means that every site should have "tags" which are basically keywords but they are made to look funky by changing the size of the text. Oooohhhh, misshappen selection of words. Whether we actually know anything about what 2.0 means or are just making jokes, it seems that people are sharing a lot more on the internet. Websites are turning to visitor created and visitor sumitted content more now than ever before.
Sidenote: If I could have you readers do the job of writing these articles I would. Web 2.0 might turn out to mean Web LazyPointOh.
I recently found this nice little web directory containing tons of new sites that all claim to be operating under the 2.0 guise. Just go to the site and you will want to pick a "tag" from the select tag button in the middle on the top, and you are off. It is a great place to go on your explorations into the 2.0 version of the web: http://www.go2web20.net/
In our relentless search for new and fascinating content we recently found an entire community of users on the Newsvine.com site that are focused on useless news. They find a purpose in collecting and sharing news articles that are amusing, absurd, and by no means relevant to your life. They call themselves the "Useless Article Addicts." And can be found here: http://uaa.newsvine.com/
I was reading their content earlier and it seemed to be dominated by Paris Hilton news. I can't really argue about the uselessness of such news. Then I just went back now and they have a story about someone who killed a rubber ducky? As this is a user created community it could also be seen as 2.0. Bonus points for staying on topic.

This next blog is not just another list of TV shows that steam over the net. This site will actually allow you to browse its giant list of shows and it will show you all the episodes available freely or downloadable for a fee via Amazon, ITunes and others. It has current shows like Lost and old shows like Pee Wee's Playhouse. If there is a TV episode that you haven't been able to find before on the net, try this place first.
I also found a nice little compilation of URLs that should be stored in everyones favorites. At least if you are a frequent user of chat programs and have annoying friends or co-workers who constantly interrupt your day. I honestly can't think of a better use for these domain names.
