Web 2.0 Break Down

The whole Web 2.0 is spoon fed to the public in this cover story of the April 3 issue of Newsweek (also my birthday btw). It doesn't get any buzzier.

Web 2.0 - The Machine Matures

If you care at all about the direction of the web read - Web 2.0: A Pattern Library by Tim Ziegler 21 Mar 2006

I will quote a piece of the summary that most striking for me :

The next stage of the internet is "Publishability." MySpace is all the rage, but it only lets you publish the simplest of content types, with no fine-tunability of exactly who you are publishing for. Watch the "Publishability" space for publishing tools that let you publish in different ways to different communities. The new tools will build off the initial model of meeting new people to include sharing more intimately with your existing relationships. These tools will also incorporate automated and templated publishing or community management for small business audiences.

Web 2.0 - See what interacting with this giant interconnected machine is going to mean going forward.

Some Good Reading

I've been reading a lot about how the internet has created channels for getting information to spread amazingly fast. Seth Godin just published an eBook that breaks it down pretty well. For more detailed information and case studies a good read is Connected Marketing from the guys at viralmeister.com.

Madcaps Site Layout

I'm working on a new layout for my madcaps domain. It is based on an animation I did in the Fall 2005 semester at Philadelphia University. The purpose of the site is to create work that enjoy doing the most. The large panel will present stills from the animation and the user will be able to play it in the same panel. The bottom left will tab through supporting content and downlaods, desktop image, t-shirt iron on images etc... the bottom right will display characters from the animation.
