[web 2.0 resources]

I recently came across this excellent compendium of web 2.0 resources via Dawn Hogue's own useful "Blogs, Wikis, & Web 2.0 in the Classroom" site.

Some of the more interesting ones:

• pimp my news: "scours the web 24/7 for text news and blogs you love and instantly converts them to MP3s that you listen to on your iPod, iPhone or your computer, anytime, anywhere."
  

• trackr: "Use trackr! to let people know where you are and where you have been. All you need is the Internet, a GPS receiver and your mobile phone (or a mobile phone with an internal GPS receiver). Download the application to your mobile phone, create a friendslist and let your friends know where you are."





• arenAsia: "a good way to get ahead in Asia. Professionals use ArenAsia to cultivate business relationships, promote their skills or services, and share insights, opinions and information through discussion groups, event listings, marketplace and knowledge base."






• trutap: "allows you to take your online social life where you go. You can send group messages, SMS and email from your mobile phone for free. You can also chat with your friends on IM (e.g. MSN) and post to blogs, photo-sharing accounts and social networks - all from your mobile phone."






• ecolet: "a web–based company that provides the design community timely, accurate information and news about sustainable materials for product design, architecture, furniture design, graphic design, and more. With headquarters in both Providence and San Francisco, Ecolect LLC aims to be the place for individuals and businesses to learn, connect, share and discover the best in eco–materials."






• guru del vino!!!: "a place for people passionate about wine where they can learn more, share their knowledge and meet with other people who share their passion. It relies on intuitive drag & drop functionality, behaving just like a normal desktop. It is especially easy to use for elderly persons, who form a great part of the wine business target group."






• songza: "allows you to find songs, share them with your friends, and even create playlists."






• wise mapping: "the web mind mapping tool that leverages the power of Mind Maps using new technologies like vectorial languages (SVG and VML)."
