Go2web20 Relaunched!

Go2web20 relaunched 2 days ago, with exciting new features!

Following the initial announcement of the relaunch on TechCrunch, we were fortunate or unfortunate to suffer from the "TechCrunch effect", and were not available for a while due to the massive traffic from Mike's blog. We've fixed what needed to be fixed, and everything is up and running again. Sorry about that!

Here is what we rolled out in this relaunch:

• Code redesign for faster and smoother experience
• UI redesign
• More information on each application using Ajax (Blogsphere news, tags, service status)
• Tools – Web 2.0 Book (printable version), Firefox extension for quick access to the site.

But here is the really big thing: We've created the Go2Web20 plugin tool that provides each and every application with the ability to add their own widget in the application panel. So now the application value and benefits to the user can be exposed directly through the Go2Web20 application information panel!

This feature is one of our advertising option .

For example, if you'll write in the search box the name YEDDA, and click on their logo, you'll see inside the panel their cool all into one widget that looks like that:



That gives you the option to explore YEDDA right from their panel at our application.

See more examples at the screenshots below:




As you can see, we're trying to make Go2web20 as useful and interesting as it can be. We feel that the Go2Web20 plugin is a big step in this direction! Applications can add functionality, RSS, videos, links, anything that can fit inside a 190x180 IFrame (hosted on the application site).

Another feature that we've worked hard on is to make the application faster and smoother and you'll notice that the searching and navigation is a real pleasure, fun and easy to use.

Future plans

We have lots of features in our future plans, some are under development. We are releasing now without these features to let you enjoy it, but we have no problem letting you know about these plans:

• User ratings, including sorting by rating
• Collecting personal favorites, sharing them in a personal URL, showing off using a widget…
• Permalink to application, tag, search ,user’s favorites, etc…
• Unique! We are working on a dynamic screensaver that exposes random and new services and keeps the user updated passively.

So stay tuned for that!

BTW, have you notice the sound in the applicaion? :)
