If you pay any attention at all to the tech blogosphere, you'll notice that there have been several recurrent themes lately. One is the concept of A-listers in any community. While Guy Kawasaki shares the CNET study which feels that information has more of a diamond shape than a pyramid, which information trickling down [...]

It's Saturday night, and like any tech geek, I'm online, reading news and following the Twitter stream when I see a Tweet that CNET has bought Revision3. Now, this rumor was first floated back in December 2007 when CNET added Revision3 content, and has popped up since then occasionally in blogs.

My favorite Web 2.0 pundit, Drama 2.0 , wrote a guest article for Mashable that's generated an interesting debate about the Web 2.0 audience. In the article, Drama 2.0 asserts that Data Portability is all about the techies. While eventually, it may end up being used by the unwashed masses, the only people clamoring for [...]

The winners have been announced here. So out of the 33 startups presenting their 7-minutes pitches to the judges including VCs and media the [...]

Are you familiar with Robert Scoble? Once a “tech evangelist” and uber-popular blogger (Scobleizer) backed by Redmond, he (along with his spouse) is now pulling strings at PodTech, a video podcast startup. He’s a big voice in the Valley. Lots of people listen when he speaks. Problem is, he can be kind of, well, irrational [...]

The most underutilized aspect of Web 2.0 is education, but students in Singapore are about to get a technical boost as blogs, video conferencing, tablet PC's, podcasts and interactive whiteboards are about to be employed in the classrooms there. A program called FutureSchools@Singapore is rolling out a new initiative to harness emerging technologies with innovative [...]

Is Consolidation and Collaboration the Next Phase of Web 2.0? 
Web 2.0 may just have a case of, for lack of a better term, constipation. Over the last several weeks I have noticed a decrease in real innovation like we saw at the beginning of the year. There is news out there, but for the most [...]
