Web Two > Evil Web 2.0 Part I

[PostBubble] I remember how my dad used to tell me stories about how he listened to the radio until his own father threw it away. His father apparently thought it was corrupting his mind and would inevitably damn him because of the rebellious and insignificant babble coming from it.

According to this Reuters article, the site lost "70 percent" of its organic traffic when it was "downgraded." The lawsuit seeks financial damages and asks that Google reveal the methodology behind its Page Rank algorithm.

[Grail.oise.utoronto.ca] ctl1018: <p>If this is true (regardless of whether you buy into the concept of Web 2.0), then what does this mean when designing a portal and community for <a href="http://grail.oise.utoronto.ca">GRAIL</a>, Graduate Researcher's Academic Identity onLine. Talking about what this portal would <em>do</em> from a public and community point of view keeps me thinking that something is fundamentally missing from our understanding of how an environment like this would be used and useful, based on what's going on with Blogs, RSS, and other <em>web 2.0</em> technologies.
