I'm so used to getting spam comments, so it took me a while to find this. Also because of some server issues.. That's true, I suppose giving the user more power and making websites more of a social network are the main trends. I think things are headed in an awesome direction. Moving desktop computing to the web or cloud computing is an interesting idea and I definitely think we're headed there, but I'm not sure if were ready for it yet. Douglas Crockford gave his keynote today at the Yahoo Frontend Engineering Conference - in it he mentioned both the current HTML standard and the current version of Javascript were last updated in 1999, almost ten years ago! People have done amazing stuff with that limitation, but it will be interesting to see how we progress beyond that. What new type of frameworks or technologies will browsers experiment with so we can get even more awesome stuff out there? :) Thanks for the comment, man!

I believe the difference between Web 2.0 and 1.0 is the way in which the user deals with the content. Again this is just the non technical side of 1.0 vs 2.0. In 1.0 the user could not share the content and personalize the content as easy as it is now. End the transition to a web 2.0 mind set where the user had more power. In terms of technology, 2.0 is more of a Asynchronous based tech approach. Ajax, Flex, Advanced CSS skills, and to a large extent Restful/Web-Service fundamentals (SOA) are what the companies look for when they ask for "Web 2.0 experience" Personally I think there is a slight push now for the term, Web 3.0. 2.0 allows users to share content across many sites while 3.0 will allow content to be given meaning. Semantic Web. :-p I know this post is a bit old but wanted to chime in since i just located your site.

Just one of the many instances I've endured, having the pleasure to do business with the devil, was my bank account of 10 years being closed out after IPOWER over charged by account by thousands of dollars by double and triple billing me on hundreds of domain names. I truly can't believe noone hasn't blown up their office because of their extensive training in jacking the customer around, and robbing them blind to the extent of driving them crazy. I even have proof of domain names IPower sold to me that were already registered to other people. I have proof of domains I owned that were stolen from me out of their original CLS - which was in Beta and under their control. They've made millions in parking/ppc fraud - off of customers domain names. I personally believe in Karma - and every piece of crap person who works at IPower and Tucows that has participated in any of their disgraceful, evil, fradulant ways of doing business will pay in one way or another. They too will be blatenly screwed, ripped off and jacked around and left pennyless - because what comes around goes around! They all "act" like a bunch of idiots, but they know exactly what they are doing and they all need to be in jail.

Sadly, the last time I saw my little cousin was when he was a blonde 8 or 9 year old. Had I run into him on the streets a year and a half ago, I would not have recognized him. I used to babysit him and Erin and loved them both very much, still do. Our family is grieving a son, cousin, nephew, and grandson that we were not allowed to get to know. Erin- you were very young and I don't know if you remember me, but when you were a toddler you looked so much like me (when I was a toddler) that Brandon would see a baby picture of me and say your name. Please know that the Garcia family has always been here for you and Brandon, perhaps we could have done more to let you two know that you were loved and missed deeply in our family. I hope to someday meet the beautiful woman that you have become and learn about the man that Brandon became. PS. please send your mother and brother Matthew my sincere regards and condolences.
