The Web 2.0 Alphabet


01.11.07 Posted in Personal by jdmacor

Well, I had this communications professor way back in the day at my undergraduate school (a whopping 6 months or so ago) who made this logo alphabet. He chose a company for every letter of the alphabet and the companies were representative of our generation. It was pretty darn interesting, but trademarked… So I thought, what about the Web 2.0 world. I figured I should make an alphabet using those crazy internet start-up logos, with one company representing a letter. I tried to pick the most representative company for each letter (or just my favorite one…), and I feel like I made some pretty good choices, but if you disagree, just let me know! Either way, lets get this show on the road. Oh, and feel free to sing that lovely melodic alphabet song as you move down the list:

There you have it. A comprehensive alphabet that some day may represent our generation… But, probably not. Anyhow, leave a comment and let me know what you think about the Web 2.0 Alphabet.

    @funana: Wow, you sure have been a “clipper” for a long time! I just joined up and I like browsing other people’s clips. I haven’t done too much myself; I am just getting my feet wet for now.

    Now, this book should be in every CxO’s briefcase. It covers all the buzzwords of “web 2.0″ and “enterprise 2.0″ while relating it to specific business scenarios. Much more than google maps for my employees, it delves into business intelligence, user productivity, process efficiency as well as managerial efficiency 640-553. Sections 1 and 3 are conceptually oriented and do a good job of explaining meaning and application of things like crowd sourcing, wikis, and the semantic web 70-431. Section 2 is rich with explanation of the alphabet soup of APIs, languages, protocols that seem to swarm web 2.0 discussions. The book never becomes preachy. An easy read in a 3-4 hour flight 650-393.
