Alien News Vacuum Revealed! Snarfer - Changing to Suit Humans.  
We review a great number of communities, startups, gadgets and other technology related to Web 2.0, but I have never really thought of reviewing something that I use to find some of this stuff. Snarfer is a friendly RSS manager that sits down there in my system tray just waiting to gobble (well actually he snorts) up news from around the world.
Snarfer is a feed aggregator that is really fast, diversified and simple [...]

Now I have found the perfect Web site! This is so Web 2.0 it may just change the way we think about our attics, garages and storage spaces forever. Junkdepot has created the eBay for die hard pack rats (or their spouses). We ran across this site and just had to announce this new venue to the world.
Junkdepot is essentially a clean and simple site to get rid of junk you don't want. As far as selling your items, [...]

Apparently, Feedo Style, an app that allows you to include RSS and ATOM feed content on your web site, has decided to take matters into their own hands and sell the product outright using an auction on eBay .
With Feedo Style, you can style your own widget, include virtually any content that has an RSS feed, and if you want to buy the whole company, bidding starts at $5,000.00 USD. According to the auction text, the sale will include the [...]

As a long-time Epinions member and contributor, I was skeptical of any new review sites. After all, with the affiliation with eBay and Shopping.com, Epinions seems to have cornered the market on consumer reviews, utilizing a community for content creation and peer ratings when Web 2.0 was a mere twinkle in Tim O'Reilly's eye. In addition, since the inception of Epinions, most online retailers have implemented consumer reviews on their own sites, so why would another really be necessary?
A quick pass [...]

Imagine a site which pooled everything from eBay, uBid, Yahoo! Auctions, and others into a single feed. Now imagine that all products have been replaced with websites – e-businesses, forums, single-page domains, etc. Throw in a few shadow effects on some big buttons and you’ve got yourself BizMP. The problem: the site doesn’t seem to amount to much.
BizMP is an example of a good idea poorly executed. The website acts as a broker for those looking to buy and/or sell [...]

(PRWeb) Los Angeles - January 16, 2007 - A new web site was just launched by PayPal creator David O. Sacks. Geni.com is designed to create a family tree for the entire world! The site applies "Web 2.0" principles for social networking to the genealogy equation.

Following an extended New Year weekend – a very pleasant one at that - I thought a roundup of how far Web 2.0 has come would give the right kickoff to a January of highly anticipated surprises. Then I wondered, well, how best to do that? It turns out a brief outing – doing some searching on Technorati - led me to just the right place, which, in some ways, recaps Web 2.0’s history, which, if nothing else, speaks volumes [...]
