Insightful, Hopeful

I saw this feature article from CNN. This lists 25 sites that are leading the way for the new face of the internet, or what others call Net 2.0.
I've seen Net 1.0, which was exciting at the time. It was new, but websites were not so good to look at, because one had to have a decent knowledge of HTML to create a nice-looking site. But because of blogs, and the user friendly interface, one can easily create his/her own space. There's also podcasting (which I haven't tried), social networking like Friendster, YouTube, Google and other sites. Check it out at CNN.
