All Things Web 2.0 has been created in response to the heavy blog traffic generated by my original post "All Things Web 2.0 - The List" on my blog Sacred Cow Dung.
All Things Web 2.0 - The Directory "portalizes" the original post content -- so now the Web 2.0 Community itself can keep the directory content current -- as well as enhance its usefulness for everyone -- through incremental community knowledge aggregation.
Why an Open Directory for Web 2.0?
Not only was the traffic "The List" generated surprizing, I was also surprized at how people were using The List. Apparently, people would bookmark my post and then frequently return, to use it as a Launching Off Point to check out various Web 2.0 apps when they had a spare moment or two.
Both the amount of traffic and the fact that people were actually evaluating the listed applications, made portalizing "The List" into an Open Directory, a no-brainer.
First, there is no way any single person can keep up with something as dynamic (and ill-defined) as Web 2.0 (and there was no way I was going to even try.)
Secondly, it made sense to create a vehicule to facilitate aggregate of community-based knowledge tid-bits, to help guide others engaged in trying to keep track of all things web 2.0.
What was really needed was something a bit more flexible than a blog post (How do you make sense out of 150+ comments, anyway?) but more structured than a Wiki (What the hell is this?).
An Open Directory for Web 2.0 seemed the way to go. It could collect and organize community-based information from registered users and, as things change or new things are introduced, the communities' reactions and impressions could be monitored by everyone.
Also, IMHO, the reason "The List" proved popular was that it was categorized. With categories, one can focus in on just those applications that interest you, rather than sorting through a growing monolithic list of thousands of links. However,
