General talk about software patterns

["Jason Yip" <jchyip AT gmail.com>]

"Web 2.0" is a bit of an amorphous blob that surrounds everything that is trendy about the Web.  If I were to approach it, I'd be looking at finding a more defined boundary by identifying the exemplar Web 2.0
 sites (which may itself be controversial in some cases), extracting the key aspects and searching from there.

For example, if Wikipedia is considered Web 2.0, then 
http://www.wikipatterns.com/display/wikipatterns/Wikipatterns seems relevant.

If Gmail and Google Maps is considered Web 2.0, then http://ajaxpatterns.org/ seems relevant.

If Amazon and Google AdSense are considered Web 2.0, then something about recommender systems and permission marketing seem relevant.

If Bittorrent is considered Web 2.0, then peer-to-peer patterns seem relevant, 
http://www.voelter.de/data/pub/P2PSystems.pdf

And then there are mashups, 
http://alexbarnett.net/blog/archive/2007/05/22/mashup-design-patterns.aspx, REST vs SOA, faceted classification (aka tags or "folksonomy"), syndication (e.g., RSS, Atom), design trends that aren't even mentioned in the O'Reilly article (
i.e., larger fonts, rounded corners, focused minimal content per page) etc.

Tim O'Reilly's article plus the blog entries and articles that responded to it are a good place to start,

My interest extends beyond a single area. What's covered with patterns, how mature are these patterns, and what other areas are there where it'll be valuable to do so.

Which aspect of Web 2.0 are you interested in?

I'm looking for pointers to work on web 2.0 patterns. Who is working in this space and where are they at? Search engines pointed me to a few folks on this list ( http://www.eaipatterns.com/ramblings/45_web20.html). I bet that there are other effors that aren't searchable yet.

 

Thanks,
