</a>Abstract:<br>
Web 2.0, the Web as Platform, is transforming web application
development. With<br>
the ability to access public application programming interfaces,
designers are<br>
getting their hands on amazing free content like Google Maps, weather
updates,<br>
and traffic information and combining them to create helpful new
interfaces.<br><br>
These rich internet applications were not possible 1 year ago. Thanks to
new<br>
technologies and approaches like RSS, folksonomies, and Ajax, designers
are<br>
entering a period of intense creativity and change. Find out how Web 2.0
will<br>
change your application design for the better.<br><br>
