Web 2.0

I hate to break it to you, but Web 2.0 is over. Old news. Passé. Well-- maybe only for the techno-elite.

The new technology is called cloud technology. Since we are just in the middle of 2.0, let's not drop it for cloud tech, but let's check it out.

One simple way to do that and use it for our benefit is to check out the Clusty Cloud maker. Very cool. It creates a cloud of tags you can use in your blog. To do it, it takes your search terms and serches the major seach engines with it. Then it clusters the results and creates a cloud of tags...did I mention that it was cool?

Also try the search engine Clusty (an infortunate name.) According to the website (http://www.clusty.com/), here's what Clusty is all about...

What makes Clusty unique?

Clusty is a whole new way to search the web.

Clusty queries several top search engines, combines the results, and generates an ordered list based on comparative ranking. This "metasearch" approach helps raise the best results to the top and push search engine spam to the bottom.

But what really makes Clusty unique is what happens after you search. Instead of delivering millions of search results in one long list, our search engine groups similar results together into clusters. Clusters help you see your search results by topic so you can zero in on exactly what you’re looking for or discover unexpected relationships between items. When was the last time you went to the third or fourth page of the search results? Rather than scrolling through page after page, the clusters help you find results you may have missed or that were buried deep in the ranked list.

And with a name like Clusty, it’s gotta be good!
