As I mentioned in my previous post I’m working on compiling a list of brilliant European (and primarily Danish) web 2.0 sites and services. Instead of writing the whole thing all at once, I’ve decided to get started, and then do updates as I think of new places. I’ll start off with Danish sites – there’s quite a few good ones (oh yeah, as you may have guessed – these sites are – for the most part – in Danish)!
First up – a couple of good photosharing sites that are serious competitors to Flickr. I’ve tried them both, and I think they’re great – however, I’ve been using Flickr since forever, so it’s not easy for me to switch (I guess you could call that ‘stickyness’, right):
albinogorilla
Great for moblogging. Fantastically easy upload via the mobile phone, and a nice flash-based look.
23
Very Flickr-like if you ask me. I’ve recommended it to several friends and family members. Particularly those who experience an unnecessary language-barrier when trying to settle in to Flickr.
Next, a couple of sites that, in each their own way, really mean bizz when it comes to user generated content
mitkbh
Copenhagen residents rate virtually everything in Copenhagen. From restaurants and bars to beautiful sites and the places to go for shopping. Navigation via tags, and real user generated content. I predict they’ll leave their competition in the dust once the general public get into mitkbh
avisen.dk
If you ask me, avisen.dk offers a sneak peak into the future of newspapers. They do a print version too, which, for obvious reasons, I find less interesting, but their online efforts are lightyears ahead of other Danish newspapers.
overskrift.dk
Denmark’s most comprehensive RSS feed and weblog portal – a great place for keeping track of the Danish blogosphere
These are just the tip of the iceberg – I’m sure I’ll think of loads more, and in the mean time – help me out, huh? what are your favorite 2.0 sites?
P.S. I can’t help but mention a site that would do itself a major favour if it went a bit more 2.0. 16-9 is my absolute favourite film site. It tends (willingly) towards the academic and offers a rarely seen analytical view of cinema. Comments and user generated contributions would SO suit this place…
UPDATE: Dion Hinchcliffe has compiled quite a list of the best web 2.0 software of 2006 (none of it Danish, though
)
