Are you in online marketing? Here is a quick overview of some of the major Web 2.0 sites. The Web 2.0 is a decentralized user-driven trend rather than a new technology in which user demand is helping guide new web companies into the use of technologies that enhance user experience and extend the way we access information and contact other people.

However, I have to admit that I made lots of mistakes in that post, and this post is to make up for it. So, here goes: - FaceySpacey
White-label is a term used to refer to a product that is re-branded multiple times and licensed out. The old-industry motto was "I want to own everything".

LinkedIn, a Web site that professionals use to make contacts and trade tips, created quite a stir this week. It announced that it raised $53 million in funding, primarily from Bain Capital Ventures, implicitly valuing the four-year-old company at an impressive $1 billion. It was only the latest evidence that social networks for the more-serious set -- think Facebook, as opposed to a more youth-oriented MySpace -- have come into vogue with investors. - FaceySpacey

While we definitely found the story of a student in Egypt using Twitter to alert people that he had been arrested interesting, it does seem like a bit of a stretch to then say that it makes sense to create an emergency alert system via Twitter. Though it has some potential to be powerful, an emergency alert system needs to be reliable -- and Twitter is rather infamous for its pretty regular downtime. - FaceySpacey
BIG shout out goes to Nanu for discovering this one... it seems the new standalone BlackBerry MediaSync application is unofficially available on RIM's servers for download. Get it while it's HOT (and at your own risk of course!)...odds are if you don't have to click through a bunch of RIM legalese to get to the file it will be pulled quick. - FaceySpacey

I'm a big fan of Twitter. I've been using the service only for a short time, and that's been enough to make me an addict. Yet amazing though Twitter's growth is, it pales in comparison to the adoption rate for another microblogging service: India's SMS GupShup. - FaceySpacey

The sites can help you find referrals, vet ideas, get advice and more--usually for free. - FaceySpacey
