I guess that the following free phpbb forum host is one of the good hosts out there.

Typically speaking, web 2.0 is about user generated content.  Whats the biggest example of this?  Well, online communties - and in particular free phpbb forum hosting websites such as the one previously linked to.  (Dont worry, we dont link to junk hosts - only decent trusted ones).

Web 2.0 is about sharing, writing, linking to and creating communities.  This can be done through larger web 2.0 sites such as Digg or Stumbleupon.

Be careful - large web 2.0 sites are hard to manage and take a lot of maintanence.

Good luck!

Great idea. Lots of nice snippets, including shell scripts and optimizations. In their words “Programming is Hard is a public repository for links and code snippets. Easily build up your personal collection of code snippets or links, categorize them with tags / keywords, and share them with the world (or not, you can keep them private!)
