Christopher D. Sessums :: Blog :: 10 Innovative Web 2.0 Apps

December 16, 2005

Although I'm not sure I agree with all of his choices, Mark Millerton from ArticleDashboard[dot]com has released his choices for the Top 10 Innovative Web 2.0 Applications of 2005.

I didn't see flickr or Writely on the list, nor did I see del.icio.us. Hmmmm....

Dion Hinchcliffe has a nice Web 2.0 app list that runs closer to my taste in terms of reviewing, comparing, and categorizing applications.

What I find interesting about the Millerton piece is that we have no idea who Mark Millerton is. So why should I listen to him?

This idea of authority and authorship has been echoed recently in the Wikipedia debate that has been creating a lot of frisson.

I recently ran across a sound argument on David Wiley's site that I believe frames the topic well. It seems ultimately what is needed in our primary grades is a mix of a media literacy training and a bit of falacious reasoning training.

As we all know, the interweb can spread incorrect news just as quickly.
