What makes a winning Web 2.0 website?
I forget to mention on the welcome post, that I will also use this blog to post my thoughts about Web 2.0…
Have you ever wondered what makes this Web 2.0 web sites so great? What make them different from the old web sites? If you look closley, and search for similrities among them (and you can take Flickr, Digg, Del.ico.us, Technorati and more as an example) you might find things like:
- Tags
- RSS
- Comments
- API
- Community
