Move viatology forward w/ forward technologies (Web 2.0)

Hi Viatologists,

As you present road studies to the viatology community, it's crucial
that you deliver content that's at the forefront of technology. To
help set this trend, The Worldwide Transportation Library takes its
mountains of road-related research and presents it using the following
technologies:

(1) Flash video. (e.g., http://wwtl.info/mx-3v.html)
(2) GPS location. (e.g., http://wwtl.info/li-28--de.html)
(3) Interactive scripting. (e.g., the feedback form on http://wwtl.info/us-52.html)
(4) Drag & Resize for photographs. (e.g., http://wwtl.info/de-98--de.html)
(5) 360-degree photographs. (http://wwtl.info/fr-n87w.html)*
(6) RSS services (http://wwtl.info/pwwh-rss.xml , http://wwtl.info/vwwh-rss.xml)

These services help comprise the Web 2.0 movement.

Remember! Every viatologist looks for different cues/stimuli in
roadside capture. They may look for road signs, surrounding
topography, people, or anything else. Keep your website content
relevant, but, but, but... Offer the flexibility to give each
viatologist the ability to find what details they're after. Also,
assume that no one visitor has an "inside knowledge" of the road
you're presenting. Keep all your text descriptions objective and
designed w/ an international audience in mind. You may have a visitor
from Stanford, Oxford, Leipzig, or an Antarctic base.

As viatology moves forward, keep the science polished. It will help
spread the word and make our combined studies shine in the early
stages of a legitimate science.

So sorry, Calboggio but that's the incorrect answer: Per Wikipedia: '

The term "Web 2.0" describes the changing trends in the use of World Wide Web technology and web design that aim to enhance creativity, communications, secure information sharing, collaboration and functionality of the web. Web 2.0 concepts have led to the development and evolution of web-culture *communities* and hosted services, such as social-networking sites[You took yours down], video sharing sites, wikis, blogs, and folksonomies.'

Your site is merely an extension of your ego, and not a community or collaboration in any sense-in point of fact, I can't count the number of times you've expressed contempt for the collaborative efforts of others. In point of fact you have consistently resisted any feedback; you make up your own terms; and apparently think you are some sort of leader, and if you only insist enough, every one will follow you. You don't join the Army and immediately become a general; you have to work up to it-something you have yet to do.

Incidentally: re Web 2.0 and technology(Wikipedia again):
Although the term suggests a new version of the World Wide Web, it does *not* refer to an update to any technical specifications, but rather to changes in the ways software developers and end-users utilize the Web.

That little proviso kills your Web 2.0 cred right there. Web 2.0 is platform agnostic. That means I, as a Linux user, should be able to use all areas of your site. Yr SuXsurround 360's don't work(correctly) on my computer. Not very web 2.0 of you there at all....
