Under the Radar: "Why Office 2.0 Matters"

In this conference around 32 emerging technologies related to Web 2.0 and office 2.0 landscape has been introduced. Here is the list of participants which I have categorized them just by a quick look on their website. If you thing any of them should be placed in other categories please drop me a comment.

Organizer and social networking had been one of the most populated categories.
In general as we all know it's all about collaboration and social networking around
different subjects. With the quick look that I had on each of them. I liked
http://www.protosw.com/ which looks very good for building desktop mashups using online services. In Organizers category http://iscrybe.com looks promising, it has offline mode, note gathering, and other futures that base on the demo on the website they seem well integrated.
some of the features like thought gathering seemed useful I have to see weather I can integrated it with my blog or not.

Lesson learned from two mentioned website: multimedia presentation and demo in our busy life is getting more and more important! If you build your next application create a complete and yet very short multimedia demo on that. Maybe these two only had better demo but that worked for me!

Does Parakey do as good as Firefox

Who thought that 96% market share of IE could go below 80%. Due to its usability features and compliance with standards FireFox is now very well known and a real competitor for IE.

Ross, an intern who started the project at Netscape, had a real impact on the browser market.
Now he is involved in a company called Parakey to develop a web-based Operating System.

Maybe he can could enforce Microsoft's leaders to change their OS strategy like the way they changed their Browser strategy and started to improve IE.

What obvious is the power of Web 2.0 now enabled people to talke about projects like this and yet there are many news left to hear about.
