- Surprising Lessons from Web 2.0 04.20.07 Here are the eight shiny, new things I learned at last week's Web 2.0 Expo, and why they signal the end of the world as we know it. Jim Louderback Total posts: 3 By Jim Louderback I spent much of the early part of last week at the big Web 2.0 Expo in San Francisco. Unlike prior Web 2.0 events—where a small core of tech leaders met to plan the revolution—10,000 foot soldiers showed up to learn how to win the war. It reminded me of some of the early Internet shows of the mid-'90s, or the Windows conferences before that. I learned a lot, particularly about some of the new terms and new ways people are building these new-age businesses. Here, in no particular order, are some of the new ideas that the Web 2.0 army are talking about.

- Likewise, Microsoft, Cisco and several others have added video to their enterprise focused products. This converged view of communications is one of the reasons why Google has acquired video conferencing software from Swedish start-up, Marratech. On the blog Douglas Merrill, VP Engineering at Google says: As a company, we thrive on casual interactions and spontaneous collaboration. So we’re excited about acquiring Marratech’s video conferencing software, which will enable from-the-desktop participation for Googlers in video conference meetings wherever there’s an Internet connection.
- Whether you use your computer for work or fun, the programs you use generally have one thing in common - they are stored on your PC. Increasingly though, that software is moving online. The move to put more and more of those familiar programs on to the web has been happening for a while but its latest incarnation has won the name of Web 2.0. What is it - the definition is imprecise at best, but it loosely describes a category of websites that are known for interactivity, collaboration and community.
- I had blogged about BookmarkAll.com sometime back and the advantages bookmarking online as opposed to bookmarking on a browser. Well, this online bookmarking service has added some great new features. I wanted to inform you guys about their "RSS Topic" feature. For those who are not aware "Really Simple Syndication" or RSS refers to the way blogs or web sites to share their current posts, news or headlines via a frequently updated xml file. Now users who are registered with Bookmarkall.com can bookmark RSS feeds, according to groups you frequently visit (e.g., news, web design, etc.). just like other regular bookmarks. A user can have unlimited topics. If I am not mistaken, this is the first online bookmark manager to provide an RSS bookmark service. This presents greater convenience - you can access your favourite RSS feeds from anywhere in the World with an internet access. Besides, there are several security advantages of using their service for online bookm
- Semantics (Greek semantikos, giving signs, significant, symptomatic, from sema, sign) refers to the aspects of meaning that are expressed in a language, code, or other form of representation. Semantics is contrasted with two other aspects of meaningful expression, namely, syntax, the construction of complex signs from simpler signs, and pragmatics, the practical use of signs by agents or communities of interpretation in particular circumstances and contexts. By the usual convention that calls a study or a theory by the name of its subject matter, semantics may also denote the theoretical study of meaning in systems of signs
- DBin is a Semantic Web application that enables groups of users with a common interest to cooperatively create semantically structured knowledge bases. These user groups, which we call “Semantic Web Communities”, are made possible by creating customized user environments called “Brainlets”. Brainlets provide user interfaces and domain specific tools (e.g. querying, viewing and editing facilities) which enable community participants to interact with the data of interest. Brainlets are directly created by domain experts using an XML description language. DBin clients communicate and exchange annotations using a P2P infrastructure. Access control and digital signatures put by DBin inside the authored RDF enable trust and information filtering. In this paper we show a specific use case where a “Semantic Web Community” is created to enable a group of users to share their del.icio.us tags and organize them into a cooperatively built RDFS ontology.
- Tim Berners-Lee confirmed as plenary speaker Tim Berners-Lee is the Director of the World Wide Web Consortium, a Senior Researcher at MIT where he leads the Decentralized Information Group, and a Professor of Computer Science at University of Southampton. While working at CERN, the European Particle Physics Laboratory, he invented the World Wide Web. It was there where he wrote the first Web client (a combination of browser and editor) and the first Web server. His original specifications of URLs, HTTP and HTML were widely adopted and refined as Web technology spread. In 2001 he became a fellow of the Royal Society, and more recently he received the 2007 Charles Stark Draper Prize, given by the National Academy of Engineering (US). His plenary talk will take place on Wednesday May 9 at WWW2007.
