further or would like further clarification
about?
• How would you know if you’ve achieved the
aims of your project?

32. Do you have a great Web 2.0 project going on?
If so, why not contribute to a
forthcoming ebook of project
ideas?
The 1st edition of the book
has been downloaded nearly
12,000 times in the past year!
The online form will
take just a few minutes
to complete.
Others benefit from
reading about your
project.
You benefit from
reading about others’
ideas, and publicising
your own!
Specially extended deadline: 30 November 2009

33. Web 2.0 project guidelines
What works
If the website at the URL is quite extensive, it would be really
helpful if you could drill down to a specific area or even page
that visitors go to as a starting point.
The URL should be one that anyone can
access.
A focus on what the users did,
and how they benefitted, not
the application.
An interesting idea
Submitting something!
