The Most Promising Web 2.0 Software of 2006

Also there is www.alesti.org, a simple, easy to use "Web 2.0" RSS reader, which has launched in January 2006.

IntuiCat : an AJAX - Web 2.0 Catalogue Solution.

Same application works off-line and on-line.

Th N (Sorry if I unadvertedly posted twice)

Yet to go public, but the video looks already promising: http://www.fluxiom.com

Near-Time became publicly available in January. Near-Time integrates a weblog, wiki, events, and shared files - personal, group, or published to the world.

For category: Video Storage, Sharing, and Search, you forgot Dailymotion (http://www.dailymotion.com)

Http://www.tempinbox.com is a nice rss tool...

Also, http://www.relevantview.com/ is a great way to test out the usability of these nee web2.0 apps....

For people who want amazon like recommendations for their sites - customers who viewed/bought this item also viewed/bought those items, now there is an easy way to implement this behavior. http://EasyUtil.com provides a REST based web API. You feed the data of who viewed/bought what into EasyUtil, and you can query it later for recommendations.

Daylo is a site for finding and offering services, locally and remotely.

So far, most Daylo users are photographers, journalists, designers, yoga instructors, programmers, chefs and musicians, but because tags are used to describe profiles and requests, Daylo can be used for any service imaginable.

Users create profiles to describe their trades and services and are matched with users in their area who have posted relevant requests.

Daylo utilizes AJAX to blend message-boards and chat into a real-time and asynchronous communication tool specifically designed for the needs of people offering and buying services.

Custom RSS feeds with an intuitive API are available for profiles and requests allowing for integration in other applications.

Daylo streamlines the process of offering and finding services, helping employees become entrepreneurs while providing an affordable source of service providers.

The last comment I made was intended for this post

Sorry about that.

I think that meebo is one of the best new web 2.0 applications. It is a web-based IM client that allows you to sign into MSN, Google, Yahoo, AOL, and ICQ, all on one screen. It commingles all our IM buddies into the same list, with only the low overhead of a web page.

good list.

i cant believe you missed meebo. its a really cool web-based messaging client.

also theres teleauth (teleauth.com), a cool web2.0 style telephone authentication system that i just read about.

all in all, good stuff. some new ones there i havent heard about.

Is it just me or does the FireAnt link lead to a page about fire and cotrol?

Good list, but I cannot believe you've missed Listible - http://www.listible.com/. This is a cool web2.0 app with a lot of potential.

For Baseball geeks: http://fantasy.monkmojo.com

I like flavoor.com - clean and simple - just like me (apart from the clean bit and I am not really that simple . . .) Anyway placed you on my resource list for Open Source Time Travel - the future before it happens . . . and now back to the records . . .

I would have liked to have seen you mention Netvibes.com. Its a fantastic startpage and so far is better and more cusomizable than Pageflakes.

Don't forget folks, this list is software that has been released or recieved a major overhaul since the beginning of 2006.

Please keep the submission coming, what's been listed here so far is great.

Best,

Dion

What's weird is that the link you provide that is supposed to prove you are "not alone" in your choice of PageFlakes as the best Ajax start page, actually lists Netvibes as the 50% favourite and PageFlakes as 3%. ??

Qube websearch client seems to be releasing a feature-rich version 2 sometime in Feb-March. Surely a thing to watch for.

Something a little bit different, but how about mobileGlu. A mobile aggregator for existing Web 2.0 API's. In the future it will also act as a hub between the mobile and the services allowing users to post to things like del.icio.us, upcoming and flickr from the mobile.

I hear Makidi.com are aming for 1st place under search category.

Does anyone know what exactly are these guys up to?

Joe,

Seems Makidi.com is the best kept secret in the internet. These people even don't have an email to make inquiries. fcs!!! (for christ sake..)

Dion - Do you know something about it?

I would add my little project - Touchstone:

Treats RSS as an alert/update rather than news in a news reader. Provides a client-side alerts/updates dashboard for Web 2.0 applications - for when the browser is closed.

http://www.touchstonegadget.com

Goowy is also really cool. Adding IM support later, I'll start using it as a full on app when that happens.

You can also check out Podesk, www.podesk.com/demo. It's a video blog server software with a fast client publisher (Mac OS and Windows XP). It takes less that 1 minutes to publish a 30 seconds video, ready for iPod, with a Flash preview for the browsers.

"PageFlakes"

'...one of the best Ajax start pages I've seen yet.'

I suppose if it is that good AJAX site u can expect them to handle the "Back" button event... It's annoying to go back to the last page while clicking back, instead of go back to the last level of the sign-up wizard and even more frustrating when u in phase 5 .. :-( Although, in general its a site to learn from.

You may want to take a look at:

http://www.realtyjuggler.com

It's an organizational web 2.0 product for realtors. Takes advantage of AJAX, frames and other Web 2.0 technology to provide a raher fast user interface experience that supports back button.
