More Web2.0 stuff
This article on ZDNet talks about some of the Web2.0 products that showcased at the Web2.0 conference going on right now. I really like Rollyo. Flock is all over the place last 2 days – but not much is known about what exactly it looks like. Wink looked ok, but I think Yahoo's MyWeb2 is a much hefty competitor for them.
Zimbra is a desktop like web-based outlook replacement. Again, there is already a lot of competition in this arena (most notably, Microsoft's Outlook Web Access and Yahoo's upcoming redesign of the email interface). A more interesting news is the announced tie up between Google and Sun to develop a web based office app that would take on Microsoft Office.
A look at the list of sponsors of the Web2 con is a very good indication of the players in this field. My guess is that this entire Web2.0 thing will spawn off a whole bunch of startups that will (and are already) get consumed by the big players like Yahoo and Google.
