I use StumbleUpon to channel surf the web and I came across a great website that I think has enormous potential for educators. It is also mildly addictive. It’s called Go2Web2.0 and it has collected a directory of over 2400 web 2.0 applications since 2006. Below is a description from the website About page.
About Go2Web20.net
Pure Facts:
- A directory of web 2.0 applications and services
- Born around mid 2006
- 2415 logos as of Thursday, May 22, 2008
- As a visitor, you are probably active in the web 2.0 community and you are one of those labeled as ‘early adopters’. Are you?
- Thousands of visitors every day
- There’s a higher chance that you’ve been here before than that this is your 1st visit here
- Converges both Flash and AJAX technologies
The site does a nice job of organizing the sites via a tag menu and in many ways, I think it has a good user interface; each site/application listed is posted using the site’s logo. A few sites I happened to discover.
- Coffenatic - A place for coffee drinkers to unite, share and exchange their love of coffee.
- Dailylife - A new way to explore the world.
- Planetaki which allows you read all the websites you like in a single page. Think of it as a custom digital and virtual newspaper with the sections you want, front and center.
Orli Yakuel is one of the directory managers and I encourage you to consider checking out her blog. She does a fantastic job of giving a detailed overview of these resources. Wondering if anyone has other unique finds out there?
