Blogger Party is a great website for blogging and reading other peoples blogs. I used to use LiveJournal, but very much appreciate that Blogger Party shows that it respects the contact producers (thats you and me) by sharing some of the revenue.

Kinetiq, the owners of BlogMad - a popular blog traffic exchange, will soon be launching Exlinks; an "ultimate, exponential link-swapping, site exploding system" for webmasters and bloggers. Nobody really has a grip on how it works at the moment but by the heavy Web 2.0 look of the site, it'll probably some sort of a social-networking blog/website promotion mashup.

YellowPages.com just does not cut it in today’s Web 2.0 world. They have completely missed out on the democratization/folksonomy cultures sweeping the Web. The folksonomy culture ensures that web pages get attention based on what other users think of the page; and not just on how much one is willing to pay to get attention for a page. Thus, folksonomy ensures the playing field is leveled between those with lots of money and those with lots of happy customers but low advertising budgets.

Youtube.com -- one of the hottest Web 2.0 companies announced earlier this month that Sequoia (a premier Bay Area VC) was funding their expansion by investing $8 million in a Series B investment.

Note, this is in addition to the $3.5 million Series A investment for YouTube.
