About

Bluecricket, founded on May 10, 2006, is a weblog dedicated to obsessively following Cricket news and information.

What is web 2.0, I think of web 2.0 as the inevitable evolution of the web from a read-mostly medium to a read-write, or two-way medium (think geocities v. weblogs). Web 1.0 was static html pages. Web 2.0 is dynamic and interactive, and more fully exploits network effects. Web2.0 applications leverage key new web application frameworks like Ruby on Rails and AJAX.

We are seeing the separation of content from its old forms. Text is no longer necessarily embedded in a web page, it can be syndicated through RSS or ATOM. Audio is no longer tied to the radio network. It can be Podcast or streamed or downloaded. TV shows are no longer necessarily tied to TV Networks. They can be delivered on demand across IP networks. And so on. These trends throw many business models into question.

Like all good web 2.0 services, this site will be a two-way communications medium. Comments, trackbacks and other feedback will be welcome. We will distribute this content in every way our readers want it – our website, RSS, Atom, email, and other web 2.0 distribution mechanisms.
