Great New Website Ideas

By Wim Hoogenraad
Funny, but the best ideas I get on the strangest places. Yesterday I was in the bathroom thinking what will happen when a family member dies... How to get in contact with all the relatives, scattered all over the world. But this counts for good news too. Maybe I can build a web application for it.... It would look like this:

The term is audacious: Web 2.0. It assumes a certain interpretation of Web history, including enough progress in certain directions to trigger a succession. The label casts the reader back to Sir Tim Berners-Lee’s unleashing of the World Wide Web concept a little more than a decade ago, then asks: What forms of the Web have developed and become accepted enough that we can conceive of a transition to new ones?

Many people—including, or perhaps especially, supporters—critique the “Web 2.0” moniker for definitional reasons. Few can agree on even the general outlines of Web 2.0. It is about no single new development. Moreover, the term is often applied to a heterogeneous mix of relatively familiar and also very emergent technologies. The former may appear as very much “Web 1.0,” and the latter may be seen as too evanescent to be relied on for serious informatics work. Indeed, one leading exponent of this movement deems continuous improvement to be a hallmark of such projects, which makes pinning down their identities even more difficult.1 Yet we can survey the ground traversed by Web 2.0 projects and discussions in order to reveal a diverse set of digital strategies with powerful implications for higher education.2 Ultimately, the label “Web 2.0” is far less important than the concepts, projects, and practices included in its scope.

The Google Webmaster Help groups is an online forum where you can raise your technical concerns and be heard.

A well-known fact is the effect that links has to your Page Rank. The more links you have to your site the higher the Page Rank is going to be. Other webmasters will not easily link to you because the fear rank leakage. That is happening when there are more links out than links in. So you join one or more quality link exchange systems to exchange links with others like you. But did you ever see all these links come back in your link back queries? In this article a New Website Idea to improve the effect of exchanging links.

This time a very extreme idea in the Great New Website Ideas series. You may have noticed that Google can make or break a website. Their system is very powerful and decides what is good or bad for web surfer to see. There is a way to reverse the Google results and use it in a website. Maybe there is a young and ambitious web designer who can make a website that uses the findings in this article and work out a very successful search engine.

The first idea I want to share with you is the Shopping Center Site. It is living in the back of my mind for a long time and I even searched the web for sites like it. I could not find it but I don't have the time to make the site. Maybe it is a nice idea for you.
