Google already knows about your interests, Yahoo has your pictures through Flickr, Microsoft knows who you are chatting with and Apple knows your musical and filmic preferences. This will only get worse. Especially Google depends on advertising that will pop up next to your personal information. It will be a matter of time before your information will be used. It will be a matter of time before marketing companies will be aware of this kind of interesting data and will be willing to pay good money for such data." Take it from me. The time is already there. By the way Microsoft could / can already match your Musical / Movie preferences (Unique computer id) match with your MSN Messenger info. When did you read the last time the small print when installing stuff (your MS. OS is loaded with it) “There is a lot of private information online.

At the time I heard it I was very sceptic about it, but it looks like MS will be right in the (near?) future. Of course, Google already has this kind of service with OpenOffice.org thanks to Sun Microsystems. Would anyone know if this service is used often?

This term is getting into the danger zone of becoming another empty buzzword used by marketing, but I think the examples you give are a good preview of what we can expect in the near future. One of the interesting ideas of Web 2.0 is that you no longer buy and install software but "rent" it with the use of micropayments and use a webbrowser to access the functionality.

becoming another empty buzzword used by marketing, but I think the examples you

Thanx Eddie,

I was unaware of this list and indeed it contains far more Web 2.0 apps than the ones I mentioned.
