A great example are web sites that help resize and crop digital photos.

While I like Web 2.0 sites a la Flickr, YouTube or online applications like webmailer, I dont see any benefit in using a Gump or OpenOffice online.</p> <p>Not only the time needed for up/downloading the data is stressful - have you ever thought about safety? Cross side scripting attacs and other &quot;fine&quot; things could steal your valuable data you dont want to share.</p> http://blogs.msdn.com/tonyschr/archive/2007/01/02/client-side-code-vs-web-2-0.aspx#1405202Wed, 03 Jan 2007 20:12:44 GMT91d46819-8472-40ad-a661-2c78acb4018c:1405202Andrew Sherman<p>They must want to be bought by flickr/yahoo type sites that already hold your photos</p> http://blogs.msdn.com/tonyschr/archive/2007/01/02/client-side-code-vs-web-2-0.aspx#1441758Wed, 10 Jan 2007 04:53:55 GMT91d46819-8472-40ad-a661-2c78acb4018c:1441758Murphy<p>Here Here. </p> <p>Go to <a rel="nofollow" target="_new" href="http://www.go2web20.net/">http://www.go2web20.net/</a> if you want to see lots of useless Web 2.0 websites, although some are cool. One idea that amazes me is when someone writes a Web 2.0 app, that acts like an OS. Then they build in applications like email, and Word, Excel and so on. Why would I log in to a &quot;Web OS&quot; to access my email?</p>
