Link: What is Web 2.0
Summary: The bursting of the dot-com bubble in the fall of 2001 marked a turning point for the web. Many people concluded that the web was overhyped, when in fact bubbles and consequent shakeouts appear to be a common feature of all technological revolutions. Shakeouts typically mark the point at which an ascendant technology is ready to take its place at center stage. The pretenders are given the bum's rush, the real success stories show their strength, and there begins to be an understanding of what separates one from the other.
Link: Empressr
Summary: Empressr is developed by the people at Fusebox, an award winning Creative and Technology firm that designs custom web based integrated marketing and business solutions for clients like JPMorgan Chase, Goldman Sachs, Time Warner and MTV Networks. We developed Empressr to answer what we saw as the limitations of existing presentation applications. If streaming video and Flash are more dynamic ways to present important information, then why shouldn't businesses and individuals be able to include them in their presentations? So we joined our creative team with our technology experts to develop a way for anyone to create rich media presentations, without having to be a technology expert. The result is the first Ajax/Flash-based presentation web application that's so innovative, we think it will revolutionize the way presentations are created.
