Filtering a New Kind of Filter

The more I think about it, the more I realize the power of Web 2.0 partially resides in the ability it gives us to self-select into groups of like-minded people who can share and collaborate. One of the best functions in this process is the filtering of the massive amount of information that is floating along out there...

This site helps to filter the filters by ranking the top web 2.0 sites: Listio Top 100

As with anything the rank is only as good as the crowd that votes, but this one seems to be driven by those at the front edge of the expansion in social networking, so it might be legit.

The author of this article flirts with these concepts but misses the filter element as he talks about the need to move beyond Web 2.0. Maybe he is right on. Either way, dreaming is better than not.
