though is more hype than useful. I think that a lot of Web 2.0, particularly RSS and folksonomies, are aspects of Web 2.0 that are incredibly helpful, and provide things that really do connect people, and help people decide in a much more granular way what they want to read, and have access to. Some of Web 2.0, Be Helpful.

At first blush, although Kintera officially got out the door first, announcing Connect weeks ago, and delivering the APIs and docs on Friday, their play is a good start, but Convio, announcing Open tomorrow, appears to be ahead in terms of providing real openness. Open has 3 components, APIs, Database Connectors, and Extensions.

Kind of like if Ning , Google Talk , Gmail , Twitter and Facebook got smooshed together into a single open source environment. I don’t want the Internet to just throw data at me. On the surface, it appears to be a platform that allows for real-time rich media collaboration with a Google spin.

But there is a lot of hype regarding Web 2.0, and I want to talk about that hype, and talk about the possible pitfalls of jumping on the Web 2.0 I’ll then talk about blogging, podcasting and vlogging, which I think are probably the most hyped, and potentially least useful for nonprofits to jump into without a lot of thought.
