Today I would like to introduce most extraordinary Web 2.0 projects, in my opinion. I think you should check them out.


NameThis
When the crowd decides



At first glance it is a simple naming- service, but it is not. Really this is about collective naming- service. The main idea is simple. Client pays 90 dollars, describing the product/ service etc. he want to get name. The next step is after society. Users offer their names to the customer. After 48 hours the best name is chosen and winner takes 40 dollars, 10 dollars are shared among his influencers. 2nd place user takes $16 and his influencers $4. 3rd place user takes $8, influencers $2.
Simple math, simple idea, and everybody is satisfied.

DreamBank
When the dreams come true



How often do we receive the ‘unwanted’ gifts? I think quite rapidly, but why would all your friends, relatives, co- workers just make some kind of a big fund and ask you, what do you really want? That is DreamBank about. The system is quite simple. You just register and put up you dream, for example, ‘Trip to see the Northern Lights’ or ‘Run the Vancouver Marathon for Charity’. Post your dream and how much will it cost, after what all people could help you, in getting closer to your dream. It could take days, or even years, until the fund is completely filled. But when it is, you can go, and fulfill your dream.

Podioboooks
Free serialized audio books, delivered on your schedule.



Project is concentrated on downloading from the site separate book chapters, what are not protected by the DRM. The podcast are sent by RSS feed, or can be downloaded as mp3 and then listened almost anywhere.
Podiobooks.com publishes only those books, whose author and publishers allowed that, and authors receive 75% of all the proceeds from the donations from listeners.

What do publishers have from that? It is better to say, that they are loosing nothing, but perhaps, you would like to buy the book instead of listening to 3 954 part of it…

Clip2net
Share yourself to the Internet



Simple web- publishing site. Upload photos, files…
But it is really simple, now you do not have to log in to page, then upload any files manually. With the program running, you can easily drag any files to Clip2net shortcut, and they will be automatically uploaded. Same goes to screenshots and desktop captures.

At the moment applications is still in beta- testing, but I think sooner or later if will be complete.

BlogoWar
Declaring war



BlogoWar is not another blog rating page, it is a game!

Main idea is receiving maximum ‘Unts ‘ (something like a rating). Standard blog rating is measured by traffic received. In BlogoWar, the rating is based on live traffic. This means that first place can become last one, in few minutes. This is good opportunity for novice.

How it works.
You write a post. Make link for another blog. BlogoWar finds your RSS- feed , after what your ‘Unts’ is growing, but the ‘Unts’ of a blog you have in link is falling. As any online game, it also has experience, money (for money you could buy weapons, and kick down other rivals).

Place where you can not only enjoy ‘playing’ but get some traffic to.
