I’ve just uploaded version v013 of my Web 2.0 mind-map; you can download the PDF file (3.99 megabytes) from the www.yourdon.com/downloads area of my website, or by clicking here. (8/1: I’ve deleted version v013, and replaced it with version v016, which you can download here.)

I’ve added roughly ten new items:

1. I’ve added the Long Tail website, the Dead 2.0 website (a skeptical, “anti-hype” commentary on Web 2.0 events and announcements), and the TechCrunch website to the mind-map page on recommended websites.
2. On the “introduction” page of the mind-map, I’ve added a posting from the “Copacetic” blogsite that compares the salient features of Web 1.0 to Web 2.0.
3. I’ve added Yochai Benkler’s The Wealth of Networks: How Social Production Transforms Markets and Freedom to the “recommended books” page of the mind-map. For completeness, I should point out that I also recommended this book in a May 9, 2006 blog posting about Ward Cunningham’s presentation at the Cutter Summit conference.
4. I’ve added the Boston August 4-6 Wikimania conference, and the San Francisco November 7-9 Web 2.0 extravaganza to the list of recommended Web 2.0 conferences, as part of the “references” section of the mind-map. I’m planning to attend both conferences myself.
5. I added an article entitled “Small is Beautiful for Web 2.0 startups” to the list of recommended articles, as part of the “references” section of the mind-map.
6. I added the URL details to James Fallow’s article, entitled “Homo Conexus,” which initially appeared in the dead-trees version of the July-August issue Technology Review.
7. In the “Trends” section of the mind-map, I added a blog posting that suggests the characteristics we should look for in Web 3.0 (as if we’ve really figured out what Web 2.0 is all about!)
8. In the Ajax branch of the “Technology” section of the mind-map, I’ve added a link to “Nowsy,” an Ajax-based home page from Norway.
9. In the “design principles and best practices” branch of the “Technology” section of the mind-map, I’ve added a link to an interesting blog posting from Steve Borsch, entitled “Open Source Projects Too Hard to Use? How About Mashed-Up Web 2.0 Apps?” Steve Borsch, by the way, has an excellent blog called Connecting the Dots, with lots of good analyses and perspectives on Web 2.0-related issues.
10. I added a TechCrunch posting about JotSpot2 in the branch describing examples of Wikis, which is part of the section/page of the mind-map on the Wiki phenomenon.

As always, there’s still a lot more stuff to add, and new stuff is appearing every day on my Internet-wide scans for Web 2.0-related material … but, little by little, the mind-map is beginning to look more respectable. If nothing else, there are now a little over a hundred hyperlinks to various Web 2.0 resources, articles, and companies.
