The newest Web 2.0 thing.  Lets you build pages simular to Google or My.Yahoo.

I have my Yahoo, Gmail, and Personal account e-mail accounts, along with a number of other things.

I saw that on Stumble Upon one day.  It's a little too jumbled for me.  PLus I dont want them to have my google password.

I like google.com/ig

Pedantry:  Actually that's more Web 1.0 than 2.0.  Aggregating sites have been around a long time, in varying degrees of functionality, but there is no actual user-driven content or community on this site that would make it a "Web 2.0" site.

WTF is web 2.0 anyway?  I hear that all the time and have no idea what it means.

I was referring to the Ajax-y way it is built.

Obligatory Wikipedia link: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Web_2

Web 2.0 is mostly referring to user-driven sites like YouTube, Digg, Reddit, Wikipedia, Flickr.  "Web 2.0" was O'Reilly giving a name to something that was already going on - the shift from the sites providing their own content to the users doing so.

O'Reilly's own words, where he definitely writes in more than he ever originally meant with the term: http://www.oreillynet.com/pub/a/oreilly/tim/news/2005/09/30/what-is-web-20.html
