Introducing the Web 2.0 Ensemble

The Emerging Web 2.0 social software: an enabling suite of sociable technologies in health and health care education offers a very nice perspective of Web 2.0. Instead of concepts, it delves straight into the tools and offers a look into the different categories of Web 2.0 tools out there. Here are the 10 categories (including an example of each):

(1) Wikis - Pbwiki

(2) Blogs - Blogger

(3) Podcasting - Youtube

(4) Social Bookmarking - Del.icio.us

(5) Social Search Engines - Cha Cha

(6) RSS Feeds - Feedburner

(7) Social Networking Services - Friendster

(8) Reputation-Management Systems - Digg

(9) Instant Messaging and Virtual Meetings - Google Talk

(10) Online Social Gaming - Second Life

Desy,

Thanks for posting your comments. In the spirit of the blogosphere, there is no such thing as a bad comment. All is welcome and appreciated =)

I'm just reading my own entry, and realize that my next entry will be on Facebook. I'm using it quite a bit and testing out the type...My preliminary thoughts? Thumbs down. Why? The interface is clunky and the features do not maximize the 'core' essentials of Web 2.0 potentials and capabilities.

But I will save my thoughts for later...
