What is Web 2.0?

The "Next big thing" on the Internet is Web 2.0, but what is it?In typical laid back style Stephen Fry answers that question here

Videojug is, perhaps, a good example of Web 2.0 in action.
Do you want to know how to make Chicken Jalfrezi or make a date? It is all here.
The videos are all professional and follow roughly the same format. Some are much better than others. But be warned. You can quickly lose an hour clicking around the site.
I have raised the issue of Web 2.0 now, because a big step forward for the UK is going to take place on Friday of this week (27th July). The BBC finally make their iplayer available to the general public. Demand is likely to be enormous, so if you are at all interested it might be worth logging on to the BBC website and getting yourself up to speed. This is the link for information from the BBC press office http://www.bbc.co.uk/pressoffice/pressreleases/stories/2007/06_june/27/iplayer.shtml

Ashampoo WinOptimizer 2008 FREE!

This month, Computer Active magazine is giving away "Ashampoo WinOptimizer 2008". The offer expires on October 11th so you will need to download and get the activation key before that date. (The offer could be withdrawn earlier too). WinOptimizer is a "tweaker", so the usual warnings apply. Used with care, it should keep your computer running more smoothly. This program is valued at £25, plus you get the option to upgrade to WinOptimizer 4 for only £7.49 instead of the normal retail price of £30. All together quite a bargain. You will need to go to the Computer Active website and follow the download instructions. www.computeractive.co.uk/winopt/index Eddie Subscribe to Computers are fun by Email

Joost in time!

It was only a short time ago that you couldn't sign up to Joost without an invitation. In case you don't know, Joost is at the leading edge of providing Internet TV. How would you like films on demand with no monthly subscription? Paramount films is just one of the channels available. You will need a decent Broadband connection and the interface needs a bit of getting used to, but it is an excellent service. (Still in Beta though, so expect a few glitches). Well worth having on your computer when there is nothing much on regular TV, this is definitely a "five star" download. www.joost.com Eddie PS You will have to register but it is relatively painless.
