The latest “can’t live without” Web 2.0 sites

In the past week I have become aware of a number of, how do I describe them, unusual Web 2.0 services/sites.

The first is ZobZee, an amazing new service that skips APIs, keyboards, SMS, RSS, and even the USPS to allow users to directly connect their sizable intellects with their social networks.

This evening, the irrepressible Stephen Streight pointed me to two more entries in the race to be the ultimate Web 2.0 destination, The dullest blog in the world, and Zombo, where “everything is possible.”

I hope you’ll take a look at these revolutionary new entries into the world of Web 2.0 innovation. It’s good to know that the “industry,” or whatever the heck we are, has a sense of humor because many of us take ourselves WAY too seriously.

Update: Morton Fox let me know about the mother of all aggregators, FriendFeedFeed.

If you know of other sites/services with a similar value proposition, please add leave a comment and add them below.

Socialized exclusive: leaked Twitter Q&A

Michael Arrington recently credited Twitter for being “constructively responsive to criticism,” citing a post on the Twitter blog in which the beleaguered company responds to a TechCrunch post asking about Twitter’s IT strategy.

You can see Twitter’s response, as approved by their corporate communications team, here, but I obtained a pre-release draft of the blog post, which I have reproduced below. The portions highlighted in yellow were deleted prior to posting of the Q&A. It gives as a unique glimpse into the minds of the people running the Twitter machine.
