Wedding in progress…..

 

The car seems to be waiting for the wedded couple coming out of the wedding ceremony in the town hall.

Facebook presentation by Mark Zuckerberg (CEO)

Facebook.com is the largest Social Networking site; with some 58+ million active users.

This is a very interesting interview video with Mark Zuckerberg (CEO) at the web 2.0 Summit 2007; with good explanations of the ‘Social Graph‘ concept that is central to Facebook (and to LinkedIn, MySpace, etc).

It is one of the most important new platforms, which may well be able to compete to large platforms such as Amazon and Google.

Great video with Mark Zuckerberg (CEO of Facebook) explaining the newest developments at Facebook.com.

He talks about further opening up the platform to third party developers and how to make money on his platform. He is speaking for some 800 developers at the f8 Keynote in San Francisco. Currently there are more than 10000 Facebook applications.

Mashup Matrix

Web 2.0 is closely related to the idea of ‘Mashups‘: ‘

In technology, a mashup is a web application that combines data from more than one source into a single integrated tool; an example is the use of cartographic data from Google Maps to add location information to real-estate data from Craigslist, thereby creating a new and distinct web service that was not originally provided by either source.’ (from: Wikipedia.org)

The ProgrammableWeb Mashup Matrix (beta) lets you visualize the web mashup ecosystem.

This Matrix offers a quick way to see how many Mashups are composed (i.e. from which original Web2.0 websites)

This is a list of all Mashups built around the photo site ‘www.flickr.com’.

Happy Coffee Bean !
