My 2.0 favourites from the past week
INSTALLATION:

Social Bookmarking Gallery:
Enter in your del.icio.us user name and this cloud maker will make you feel all 2.0-y inside by popping out a collage of your keywords.

As my ominous tag cloud above demonstrates, I am an arch enemy of social tagging and semantic web as unfiled is my biggest category.

Try Thumbalicious, a thumb-sized image visualizer so you can read easy and enjoy more del.icio.us-ness.

Celebrity Gallery:
US Primaries Gossip!

Follow superstars Paul, Huckabee, Obama, Clinton, Edwards et al with Politweets. Tweets from the bleeding edge of democracy.

Edwards is a Twitterer and he will even add you as a friend!

The Amazing Kreskin Gallery of the Future:
Semantic report 2008. Another kick at the soothsaying can, which defines semantic web as “about representing meanings, connecting knowledge, and putting these to work in ways that make our experience of internet more relevant, useful, and enjoyable.”

Video Art:
The Internet Party: What Happens When Google’s Parents Leave Town for the Weekend?
The personification of Facebook, Digg, eBay, Snopes, Wikipedia. “Do you guys know where Google went?”

Hardware Gallery:
Lonely Sandwhich gets eloquent on the MacAir:

“So, too, is the Air a proof-of-concept. The concepts it sets out to prove are the clearest ones implied by its name: that data is weightless, that storage is wireless (a concept augmented by the parallel release of Apple’s new hard drive-equipped wireless router dubbed Time Capsule), and that connectivity is ubiquitous.”

Social Justice Gallery
Perennial social justice whiners MoveOn are finally actually moving on with things.
MoveOn wants a piece of the Facebook action to politicize those who haven’t tired of
being challenged to The Simpsons quizzes by high school acquaintances. Oh no. This means my neoliberal friends can now constantly invite me to democracy trivia challenges.

Twitter Gallery
Go ahead and eavesdrop!

If you preface your twitter post with “overheard” it ends up here with all the other spying activity.

Photo Twitter. Easy photo posting in twitter-like frivolous fashion.
