Woah, our most beloved browser is bigger every days… Release 1.5 is coming, and in the meanwhile Mozilla announced it’s first year of life.
Happy birthday, firefox!
Dion Hinchcliffe posted into his Web 2.0 blog an interesting article about Web 2.0 where he tries to give a glance of what it is, and what it’s made of. Check it out!
Well, it looks like Google never stops… Here’s their last product for the mobile universe: Google local.
Anyway, it looks like this time Yahoo won’t stay on the corner and see: in the next months we’ll see many yahoo services become available for mobile.
Who wins? The end users, we hope.
Seems like the Mozilla Foundation want to bet even more on Firefox and the community supporting it with the constant development of many great extension. The news is they wills tart to pay them for doing so!
Mozilla launched the “Extend Firefox” competition with a lot of interesting prizes: Desktop PCs, iPod nanos, O’Reilly books, Gadgets and more.
This is also a good way to promote the upcoming Firefox 1.5 and encourage developers to make or update their extension compatibility with the new release of this great browser.

Ok, I know these days I don’t talk about anything else, but this event rumbled a lot in the Web development underground… Anyway, I found really interesting news item on NewsForge about the Web 2.0 Conference ad how it is related with Open Source software.

While browsing the web in search of interesting news I found a not-so-recent article by Stephen Bryant on Publish.com: Web 2.0 Is a Call to Action.
It’s really sinthetic but it makes very well the point over what Web 2.0 means and what it’s aiming to. And most of all you can read it in 5 mins instead of the 3 hours needed to get rid of Tim O’Reilly’s article. Just check it out.
Browsing through the Web 2.0 Conference coverage I found the announce of a Google web service I missed: Google reader.
If you have a Google account you should absolutely try it, it’s a web aggregator for RSS feeds with a really enhanced AJAX implementation.
If you want to stay tuned about this and more upcoming Google services keep on eye on the Google Blog.
As now, there are plenty of cool emerging Web Services applying the Web 2.0 principles (usabilty, semplicity, user centered), and every day there are more and more emerging with new and innovative features (just ake a look at Remember The Milk!), but what are the top services around at the moment? The ones with thousands of registered users, those the Web 2.o enthusiasts couldn’t live without?
As the Web 2.0 Café blog has just opened (we registered on WordPress.com about a week ago) I think it would be cool to start a series of reviews of the most intereting Web Services around at the moment and of the most interesting upcoming or still in beta services.
These reviews will be divided in two categories:
Stay tuned…
Web 2.0 café syndicates its weblog posts and Comments using a technology called RSS (Real Simple Syndication). You can use a service like Bloglines to get notified when there are new posts to this weblog.
