When will the Web 2.0 bubble burst

Clearly, with buyouts and overvaluations now common place again in "the valley" we do have a bubble 2.0 going on. So my question is only: When will it burst?

An interesting article at the IHT entitled "Dot-com fever stirs sense of deja-vu" brought me to the postulation of this question.

It might of course be a good thing for us with our startup activities relating to the launch of transLucidonline. What a shame though that we already have actual paying customers. That might de-value us in the face of some VCs. :)

Connect Australia's billion dollars race

Austar, Soul, Unwired seek funding for alternative network; when you read this article and remember the one titled "Connections line up at Telstra " from The Australian Financial Review (May 5th), featuring Sol Trujillo and his controversial investment at Telstra, especially the construction of a 3.4billion AUD optic fibre network, it looks like Australia is jumping ahead to fill-up its connectivity gap (if any).

Suprglu is supercool

Another one not to forget: SuprGlu! Taken from their website:
"Do you already use services like del.icio.us, flickr, blogger, typepad, etc? SuprGlu is a new way to gather all your content from those sites."

Allright, I am not using del.icio.us or flickr yet but I can well imagine that there will be a moment where this tool will be extremely useful.

I stumbled upon it over this guys site.

An introduction in creating AJAX solutions in Java

God, I really might start to use del.icio.us to keep track of my bookmarks. Ok, transLucid might be another good idea. Let's see which one I'll settle for.

Anyhow; thi s article at IBM gives - as far as I can tell - a nice introduction in how to build AJAX applications in Java. Looks like a good read for any Java developer wishing to get the hang of it.

link collection to AJAX ressources

We had a number of posts on the topic of the hottest topic alive in the circles of Internet geeks: AJAX.

There's a plethora of libraries and tools that have come into existence in the last couple of months, some of them looking very promising.

I thought that before the below bookmarks would take on dust in my browsers bookmark manager it'd be a good idea to post in on our blog. Hope you guys 'njoy them.

Support for ASP/ColdFusion/Io/Lua/Perl/PHP/Python/Ruby:
SAJAX

PHP class library:
XAJAX

Backbase , recommended for anyone who wants to use AJAX technology as a professional for his clients.
