Testing your Web 2.0 Literacy
Oyogi, Yedda, Yoda, Renkoo, Squidoo, Lando, Lulu ... Web 2.0 companies? Or Star Wars characters? Only a certain kind of person would know for sure...
And if you scored well there, this typographic analysis of Web 2.0 logos will have you nodding in recognition. Hello, VAG Rounded! (Hat 2.0 tipped to David Nestor and Jason Kottke)

You mean our custom-made Web 2.0 logo (set in VAG Rounded! In orange! Get it?) didn't provide a strong enough value proposition for you? Seriously, Peter, there's always some overlap in what people/blogs/media outlets find interesting and irresistible. These viral links make up a very small percentage of our posts, but they're generally very well-received, and we intend to keep it up.

There's a disappointing amount of stuff on here - like this as the latest example - that you can find elsewhere / have already been sent a hundred times (like the Japanese t-shirt folding video, etc etc). Why would I come here to find things I have already read?

The only 2 names that sound familiar are Squidoo and Lulu.
I used Squidoo because I know Heath Row for a while. I am not convinced of their usefulness though.
As for Lulu, I signed up with them with the idea of expanding my blog writing into book writing even if in short form.
I have not started anything yet. I think my first thing published will be an e-book though.
I ike their all concept and pricing kinda like Cafe Press for books.
Have a good week-end
Serge
