Many thanks to Derek W who has drawn attention to a list by Dion Hinchcliffe. It is difficult to keep up to speed with Web 2.0 applications, and I admit to some frustration in making a commitment to a particular service only to find it later superceded (such is the case for me with PageFlakes at the moment - I see that, for Dion at least, "Netvibes" comes first in the 'Start Pages' category).
I celebrate the diversity and innovation, but part of me is looking forward to some sort of Web 2.0 'shake-up'. I have some unease about making a personal investment in services that could eventually become either out of date, fall so far behind what is possible that add-ons become clumsy, or where the service becomes less comprehensive than others (the reason for me moving from Bloglines to PageFlakes).
Bring on the Web 2.0 killer-app... but then again, that's not a very Web 2.0 thing to wish for, is it? PageFlakes is working wonderfully for me for now, but my loyalty is only as deep as the investment I have made in setting up my Flakes. If something new and whizzy comes along that is easy to set up (and PageFlakes itself was wonderfully simple), I confess that my shallow and fickle Web 2.0 consumerism would see me migrate!
