Continue reading my first part of the post, in this post I will be exploring the new generation of communication experience. The poster is the collage of the twitter users and followers.

Keep yourself updated – The Twitter Magic

Next came the Twitter, Pownce kind of services which made the information live to the users. You get the information on your desktop or mobile whenever they are generated. Do you know, In MacWorld Expo while Steve Jobs delivering his Keynote the Twitter has crashed! This is the influence of Twitter.

About above stuffs are termed as TumbleLogs. TumbleLogs? Yeah small brother of Weblog or Blog!!! Even I’ve my tumble log in Tumblr to record small information, events, photos instantly.

But Twitter goes one step a head and make you the information available right from it’s generation.

Twitter pushing you the information to your desktop ( through GTalk )

Pownce is another push message service, which offers more than Twitter and slowly grabbing the market share of Twitter.

‘Face’Book is Index of your Friend’s Mind

If you are a facebook or orkut user , you could very well see the updates on your home page of the profile. Those updates are about your friends and contacts , those who have changed, modified, added something in their profile.

Facebook makes things very open, it will update you each and every activity of what your contacts / friends does. Facebook updating your friends activities on your home page.

Orkut keeping you posted on your friends update.

Now, you would feel and even nod with me that this Era is making you Lazy , more, more and more..but powerful..more, more and more

But of course this is one of the major advantage of this Era, where information chases us.

Though Orkut and Facebook are connecting people, LinkedIn and Plaxo are helping you to keep updated with your friends, contacts, your business network and server you more. There was post from Amit on how to manage various social profile through one service – 8hands.

Lazy & Powerful. One who is lazy can’t be powerful. But Web 2.0 makes you lazy and yet makes your more powerful. This is what I could term this Era. Sounds crazy? Yeah, the time and effort put by you on searching an information is considerably reduced, and things comes searching you to your desktop, mobile, and what ever gadgets you own. You get your product details on your mobile, email, desktop chat client and everywhere you go. This is the time where you don’t searching the information, but make the information search for you.

Yeah, Internet with the help of Web 2.0 have re-modelled itself to the information pushers.

From Telephone to Mobile SMS, it was the same feeling when one had it on their hand. “Wow, I could get information or get connected to my friend instantly!!!”

It’s the same Wow, that you will utter in this Web 2.0 world too. The era of Pull technology is now getting obsolete. The domination of Yahoo and Microsoft’s search engine domination came to end and new breed of technology motive came into existence termed ‘Google’, which started improving the web a better place and very very competitive place. Welcome to the world of ‘Push Technology‘.

When the version of Web ticked to 2.0, things started changing.

Clock ticked from Web 1.0 to Web 2.0

Blogs are the first move towards the Lazy Era. TypePad, Moveable Type, Blogger, WordPress are predominant blog platform that helped a social move in the blogosphere and started the collaboration between people around the world. Then came the RSS feed technique, which came with every blog and made the connectivity and information sharing more easier. Then RSS feed model got stabilized, standardized and inherited ( XML features ) got unimaginable famous due to it’s flexible of usage and support.

Then, came the Readers for RSS kind of feeds ( Kind of? Yeah there are Atom feeds too ). The famous Desktop Feed Readers like FeedDemon, OmeaReader was rocking and still rocking. Recently move to make FeedDemon as feed is a welcome.

Then with the developments in Web 2.0, Online Feed Readers started mushrooming. Bloglines, Google Reader are the few which can be named as best of the online readers. I’ve both Bloglines and Google Reader accounts and I feel Google Reader is far more simple and flexible.

The RSS feeds were generally generated once in a day or whenever a new blog entries are made. Unless you track a live blogger you won’t get the information instantly.

Bloglines

Google Reader

Though not sophisticated as Desktop Readers, they inherited the advantages of the Internet and Web 2.0.
