All this talk about Web 2.0 is about to drive me nuts. It seems like any idea can pass as cool and innovative as long as you classify it as “Web 2.0″. It is becoming more of a social bother than “podcasts” were just a few months ago.
A venture capitalist walks into a office and says, “Got any new ideas?”. The folks in the office tell him that they have a search engine ready to go. The venture capitalist says, “That has been done!” with a look of disgust across his mug. Looking for an excuse to take his money, the office workers quickly reply, “but it is Web 2.0!”. What does Web 2.0 really mean? I think about three people in the world really know. The rest of use are left to just say…
“Ummm.. yeah, you know that thing?!”
Here are a few of my own Web 2.0 ideas. Let me know if you have any more to share or if you make any money from mine, lets just remember where you got your inspiration.
Toaster 2.0 – A dynamic Web site that allows you to toast bread online, and then share your crumbs with your friends.
Tagonopoly – By adding tags to your standard game of Monopoly you can track what property your friends playing with you have or track what property folks playing in Japan have. Is it useful? No! But it is Web 2.0!
Poopr – Add pastel gradient fades to the seat of your toilet to make it a Web 2.0 device. Set up a Web cam and let others share in your bathroom fun or look around to see what other folks do on the can.
