The Next Big Thing: 2.0

2.0 is taking a big step on the Web. Already, you can find Web 2.0 as well as Media 2.0, Medicine 2.0, Publishing 2.0  and many others. In case you are wondering what the 2.0 means, take a peek at Wikipedia: " . . . refers to a perceived second generation of web-based communities and hosted services — such as social-networking sites, wikis and folksonomies — which facilitate collaboration and sharing between users."

Some of my favorite 2.0 sites include:

Book Signing May 22

I will be autographing my new book on May 22 at the Psalms 117 Coffeehouse in Silver Spring, MD, from 5-8 pm. All are welcome. The title of the book is: AFROCyberspace--1000+ African American Websites That Will Change Your World.

Rey and I coauthored this work and have spent many years refining it. Websites have a habit have changing and disappearing but we managed to capture what we believe to be are some of the best. Many of these sites may never turn up in the top 10 Google sites and in fact are difficult to find when you have to sift through all the garbage.

But it was a task worth doing. Everyday I am amazed at what the Web can do and constantly stumble across some real gems.

So, drop by if you have chance or you can purchase the book at: http://www.lulu.com/afrocyberspace
