On another stroll through the park of Web 2.0 I ran across our old friend Webjam. This social networking/aggregation site was one of our favorites late last year and appears to be chugging along nicely with tons of new users and additional fun and functionality. Webjam had just received their first round of funding when I last reported on them back in March of this year, and as I predicted the developers obviously made good use of the money. The refinement of [...]

Kyte.tv went live Monday the 23rd as promised by Daniel Graf the founder. Kyte is a Splashcast type startup that allows users to broadcast content, display photos, music and other favorite media on their sites. Channels on Kyte.tv can be enabled with live chat and are viewable via a scroll menu below the player. Kyte is the most feature laden service of its type by far.  
This broadcast station for the people of Web 2.0 can be embedded in personal spaces, pages or blogs [...]

A friend made me aware of a new website that is addressing the problem of young children being exposed to pornography and other adult content on the Web. The site titled: "Blogger Power: Safeguard the Web for Children", is designed to utilize the power of Web 2.0 to correct a big problem. Blogger Power attempts to utilize the power of Web 2.0 in an effort to galvanize the overall community and in seeking support from bloggers, one of the most [...]

Zooped.com is another social community along the lines (heck more like a copy of) MySpace. The best things I can say about the site are that it is colorful, neat and allows users a good deal of flexibility for using the site. Music, video, dating (well maybe), games, news (2 days old) and even a business portal (?) are some of the features offered at this zoo.
Given the fact that MySpace appears to be selling Web 2.0 out, it [...]

MySpace users are starting to feel the pain of the world's largest online community. I suppose this is only fair, it is their town after all!
MySpace has begun to limit the number and kinds of tools that users can embed in their pages. The giant community that sees over 90 million viewers a month wants to restrict users from having video players, advertising and other types of transaction tools. Evidently News Corporation, the owner or MaySpace, wants to ensure that [...]

How is the Web 2.0 social networking scene doing. We connect and connect and I always wonder exactly how the scene is doing. On Wednesday Hitwise revealed that online traffic to MySpace increased 10.2 percent in February.
Smaller players like Buzznet and iMeem also benefited with traffic increases over 11 percent. Visits to photo journal sharing website Buzznet and the iMeem site more than doubled according to an article at AFP via Yahoo! News. MySpace accounted for 80 percent of social networking [...]

Yesterday we received an invitation to revisit the social network for geeks Shuzak.com. We did a review of the site earlier when it was running on a sub-optimized server, and the resultant problem was a 404 error. I really wanted to see what the community was like and was pleasantly surprised to find the site's founder Jawad Shuaib in chat there. In fact I had a really good time talking with several of the members of this community.
Since the [...]

We have received an invitation to beta test another innovative product named Tangler. From the moment I signed up for the Beta I was really impressed with the different look and feel of the community. Tangler is essentially a forum, but with capabilities outside the realm of a traditional forum platform.
The browser based UI and controls at the site are really simple and easy to use, and the iconic based organization looks and works better than many forums. Adding [...]

Vidavee.com announced the release of Graffiti, an innovative technology that allows users to communicate via Internet video (Hmm!). The service allows users to comment, add content to or brand video in seconds. All the user has to do is paste the URL of a video into Graffiti and then add text bubbles, animations, captions, external links or any image. Graffiti generates the code that can be pasted into a web page, blog or anywhere the user has privileges. Users can [...]
