 Posted: 6/11/2007, 1:12 pm Post subject: Which 'Web 2.0' Sites Do You Use? |
 |
|
I'm looking for an online planner which gives me useful adverts when I want them! and I came across a rather comprehensive and plentiful list of 'web 2.0' sites.
http://www.sacredcowdung.com/archives/2006/03/all_things_web.html
It made me think 'who actually uses these sites and why'. So I would be interested to know what sites people use and why. These are the sites I use and why:
Meebo - Better design than MSN Chat
Zopa - Might make a bit of money
MySpace - millions of other people do!
Youtube - fun sometimes
Purevolume - easy to use
erm..does anyone know of any personal planners which gives me useful adverts when I want them? If so please advise me on this also. For example on 1st December I get a reminder that Christmas is coming up and adverts for things I might want to buy people as presents.

The reasons I don't use Web 2.0 sites are mostly I don't see the point of them.
I mean, MySpace, what the deuce!?!? I went there once and it had the most horrible, ad-cluttered interface. I couldn't navigate it or find anything! I see people on it every day, wasting hours of their day doing nothing. I can count on my fingers how many videos I've watched on YouTube. I don't need Flickr, since I've already got my own Gallery.
If I want the features of any of those sites, I'll build them myself. I don't need to use other people's Web 2.0 sites.

Different people use the internet for different things. We all spend our time differently and that's important and should be respected. Someone may look at what I do, which is work most of the time and say that I am wasting my time, wasting my life, etc.  I can understand that. But, we all do different things. One person's waste is another's desire.
Myself, I'm not a big MySpace user, but I login from time to time (I use it as a journalist, as well) and don't have any problem navigating it, I love the content that YouTube has helped me to discover (Barats and Bereta, Derrick Comedy, Poykpak, The Angry Video Game Nerd, Blame Society Films, etc. etc.), I think that Last.fm and LinkedIn are really cool sites. And so and so forth. I'm not really a big critic. Most of the time, when I am critiquing something, I am critiquing myself. Other than that, I like to relax when I get a chance to visit these sites. Part of what makes the sites great is not only their features (which are certainly impressive), but also their userbases and contributors. I can appreciate what they've accomplished, as a user, as a content creator and as an entrepreneur.

Well, if other people find them useful, that's good.
