The following table shows various topics for lectures in ‘Physics 101′ with helpful information such as when the class took place, topics and keywords for that class.

I’ve been out of college for a number of years (don’t ask how many..) but if I was still in school I could see teaming up with fellow classmates and all agreeing as to who would post to the site.  Very convenient, and with most schools having Wi-Fi, practical. In addition the Web 2.0 userinterface is clean and easy to use, thumbs up to the team at notesake.com

Some of the things you can do:

•  Create custom ringtones for free and save them in My Zoo
•  Add copies of ringtones others have created to My Zoo
•  Add people to your list of “Friends” and see the ringtones they have created
•  Rate and comment on the ringtones people have posted

A cool thing about the Phonezoo site is the ability to search for ringtones that you can download to your phone, see if there copyrighted and also how popular…

See who’s online, how many ringtones the member has created and the newest members at ‘the Zoo’.

Overall I liked the site and having searched in vain for ringtones in the past, I am glad to have found phonezoo. Based on the traffic observed on Alexa, it appears the web community also has embraced Phonezoo…

Well at Chow.com you can research and view step by step recipes to create a masterful dinner… Learn about Wine, Restaurants and research different locations. Watch videos on various topics to see first hand how to cook a particular dish, how to dice a vegetable, how to set a table or may other various topics we all could help on.

I can’t express enough how much I liked chow.com. I printed out a few recipes and will certainly try out a few recipes this week.

Findmeon offers the ability to link the Social Networking identities you chose and have ‘badges’ appear on your pages that help link your identities. This is definitely a service that people have been looking for and if the adoption rate is high enough, can really take off.

Imagine a single site where you store all of your photos, emails addresses, personal information, etc.. instead of many. Then you go to this site and update your information in 1 place and then the individual sites pull from this source. Maybe you have a unique private key, biometric authorization, it doesn’t matter. It’s all about solving a real problem and making an easy to use site that provides a real service. The issue will be getting the big web 2.0 companies to let go of their hold on your data and start pulling from the central location. It would help them save money in the long run (reduced storage costs) but also potentially cost them eyeballs as you would not need to login to them to update your information.

This ’site’ would need to be very secure and assure the user community that their data is safe, but it is doable. I’ve got my business that on here but wouldn’t every large web 2.0 site looking for more users want to advertise on this site? And given the traffic wouldn’t there be ample opportunity to make even more advertising revenue?

A few good blogs postings on this topic:

I was waiting for a site to come along and help me stay up on all my friends and the changes to their personal pages and blogs.

Spokeo checks on your friends to see who’s favorited new videos on Youtube, uploaded photos to MySpace, or blogged on Blogger. Spokeo tracks friends for you, so you won’t miss an update. These are words from Spokeo.com but I couldn’t have said it better myself.

This technology will allow you to stay connected with anyone using any of the top blogging or Social Networking sites out there including:

Needless to say, there will be more sites added to track in Spokeo and new capabilities added to Spokeo as well, so this site is one to watch!

I liked this site though it appears to be new and the number of registered site visitors low. There is definitly room out there for LinkedIn competitors but more features need to be built into the system or repeat visitor traffic will be low (IMHO).

Possible parking spots are highlighted on the map and you can pick and choose by locality and price to pick the one you want. There is also the concept of rating the parking vendors so that users will be informed about the past experiences at that location.

Overall, very cool site that I can see myself using when I go into NY for an event or concert. The site is easy to use with a Web 2.0 feel that will be embraced by those living in or near a big city.

Here we show a snippet of what search results would look like. The status of the item (Available, Borrowed) is shown as well as the user who has listed the item. The site is currently in Alpha and when I searched for items in Boston or New York I did not get any results.

Overall I feel this is a good site that allows you to ‘reuse’ an item you no longer have a need for and let someone else benefit from it. There is a clean Web 2.0 look and feel and nice flow to the site, time will tell if it will pop but they are one of the 25 companies on the Spigit.com launch and this may help accelerate their growth.

There are dedicated categories for the main types of pets, image galleries, forums and links to sites about pets/pet supplies. So if Fluffy or Rover are in need or showing off their latest pose or listing their top pet foods and favorite chew toy, sign up for an account at Vivapets and create a page for him or her.

This is a good example of social networking being applied to a niche market that will be very popular and solve a need. The site is easy to use and there seems to be a solid following.
