I Link You

More good web 2.0 stuff to check out.

Here is another laundry list of fun web 2.0 applications that I found while waiting to be interviewed today. Funny thing is that they are from Australia... lol

Anyway, I thought they were cute so you should check them out.

Function: To-do list

Go to... Remember The Milk

This free service allows users to manage their to-do lists online. Cool features include integration with Google Maps (where is my task?), various IM services (AIM, Gadu-Gadu, Google Talk, ICQ, Jabber, MSN, Skype, Yahoo! are all supported), extensive keyboard shortcuts to quickly organize and list your tasks, share and manage your lists with your contacts, mobile access (either through Google Calendar or Apple iCal) or through Atom/RSS feeds.

Function: Share that really funny email

Go to... Fwditon.com

Read, rate, and share the funniest email forwards. It's similar to digg, but specifically for funny emails. Way to save me from getting all that junk email but still lets me enjoy my guilty pleasure of reading the occasional humorous story from backwards-ville.

Function: Community for parents

Go to... Minti

Minti is a social networking site targeted at parents. This is a site for parents to write, share, and rank advice from everything to raising a child to how to invite your in-laws over for dinner. It carries a light-hearted tone and a little refreshment from the craziness of MySpace and Facebook. Although I'm not the targeted age group, it's amusing to see what advice floats for parents.

Function: Australian students want facebook

Go to: Studentface

A social networking site for students in Australian universities. Having similar features shared by MySpace and Orkut, the site allows students to share information, photos, videos, and many other things. Members need a valid school email address (.au or .edu) and need to be part of Australian university.

Function: MySpace clone

Go to: Babbello

This is a very popular social networking site for Australian teens. Just like MySpace, you can have your own blog, chat, share media, and take online quizzes. It also has extensive mobile applications. You can share ringtones, games, wallpapers, screensavers, and MP3s. There is a lot of content on this site, but it still manages to look organized. You can also blog by SMS.

Australia certainly has a few promising Web 2.0 applications. I particularly like Babbello's extensive network of mobile content. I also like Minti's focus on parents.
