The last big wave was Web activity. Before that one it was e-mail.
– Eric Schmidt, CEO Google, Inc.

LovelyCounty.com is designed to help us all ride the next wave of the internet. It’s called, “Web 2.0,” a digital world designed to foster creativity, collaboration, and sharing.

What is Web 2.0? It’s blogs, MySpace, podcasting, sharing favorite articles with a service like Digg; it’s looking up a definition on Wikipedia, trading songs, movies and software.

It’s all new.

They say a year in the Internet business is like a dog year.. equivalent to seven years in a regular person’s life. In other words, it’s evolving fast and faster.
- Vinton Cerf, “Father of the Internet”

Here we go…into the breach, Lovely County.

Stay tuned.
