RoundUp of feelings on My Web 2.0
I think I like Stowe Boyd’s rap on Yahoo’s My Web 2.0 the best. So does Jonas Luster.
Stowe explains the trusted web:
And why trusted searches will yield better results. I gotta say that this is the same dream that Mark Pincus and Paul Martino had at Tribe.net - but it never yielded the results.
But Yahoo has critical mass from day one - something that is critical in building social network based searching, interacting or new kind of communities. Tribe never reached that critical mass.
Then he goes onto to rap about Personalized Search - and Yahoo’s new MyRank technology. Totally coolio - but Paul Martino had it two years ago. “gee - now if somebody just went and BOUGHT Tribe, they could…….”
The Stowe talks about Yahoo’s access controls - which I will predict will be STANDARD features in all future software. Tribe has it already!
And Structured Tagging. Well duh! Of course - ALSO in all software from now on. That’s why we got OPML - BTW.
And finally Open APIs.
I’m gonna be talking A LOT about OpenAPIs and standardized schemas around here - from now on.
This latest Apple caper is bringing a lot of people to ‘attention’ on what we ALL need to be doing.
It was really hard keeping my mouth shut for 36 hours - after Caterina and Jeff Weiner disclosed me on My Web 2.0. My mind has been rushing since then, thinking about how OpenTopics, Technorati Tags, Microformats, DLAs (digital lifestryle aggregators) and our PeopleAggregator APIs will be effected by this huge step forward.
Let me just say - I’m dam excited!
