Comments on: Web 2.0 Certification - You are kidding right? http://profectio.com/forde/2006/09/02/web-20-certification-your-kidding-right/ Thoughts and comments on stuff by Dave Forde Thu, 20 Nov 2008 10:45:14 +0000 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.2.1 By: Jason http://profectio.com/forde/2006/09/02/web-20-certification-your-kidding-right/#comment-13 Jason Thu, 07 Sep 2006 17:10:03 +0000 http://profectio.com/forde/2006/09/02/web-20-certification-your-kidding-right/#comment-13 Nice idea but I don't think it has any legs. The face of web 2.0 is still changing so rapidly how could they possibly write course material, lesson plans, hire teachers, complete student registration, etc. before the certification becomes completely outdated? If you need to prove your web 2.0 worth to a potential employer, business partner or what have you, why not just show them your "eFootprint". Show them your blog, your groups, your contributions, your comments, etc.. Basically, your web 2.0 portfolio. This would be much stronger than a certificate.

Standards or certification are great things, but again - who is embracing this? What is the point to spend your hard earned money on something that does't give you a ROI?

The point is however web 2.0 sites are not your usual and the content managment systems about such as Drupal are still only working out whats what too. Thus the likes of small site developers making web2.0 sites is going to be in the lower figurers. That said this is the press release of my own web2.0 site and it compaires very well to the major devleopers (which considering it was made for less that 100€ is not half bad).

In a nut shell Filmations are compiled using sound, pictures, videos, Flash Films and the inbuilt Title Generator tool. Using the patented Filmation compiler, Filmmakers can create and distribute films online using little more than one website. Until now in order to make and distribute a film extensive knowledge of software such as editing packages, photoshop and Flash was necessary to create the project, then further knowledge was needed to host the films.
