Web 2.0 – The buzzword of the last 2 years, now slow but steadily reaches cooperate ears, and even here in technology-ghetto Greece you can here suit wearing junior managers throw around terms like community, usability, ajax etc….
But was is Web 2.0 really? Is it Digg, reddit and newsvine? Is it myspace, youtube, or the google apps?

I have coded cases where all action functionality was included in 2-3 before_filters.
I’ll try to showcase some of the methods that work for me.

In a recent project, a small programming bug of me, caused quite a large problem.
posted by vdimos No commentsCombo boxes require at least 2-3 clicks to figure out which option to choose (clicking on the arrow for the drop down to pop-up , then moving through the list and selecting). Once you’ve selected there is no way of reviewing your selection and compare it to other selections (you have to repeat the process).
Multiple selects, allow you to review the whole or part of a list, but inexperienced users will never guess the ctrl-click or shift-click operations. Placing instructions like “ctrl-click to select multiple items” may solve some problems, but you are rely on users actually reading instructions, which they don’t.
Moreover, ctrl-click operation can create havoc if user accidentally selects an item without holding ctrl (even worse if selected items are a few scrolls up and the user can’t even see that they are now de-selected).
To παγκόσμιο internet έχει το slashdot, digg, reddit.
Υπάρχουν και πολλά που λειτουργούν ως specialized digg-clones (για μουσική, αυτοκίνητα, μόδα κτλ).
