Getting the Geeks tools to Avoid Gridlock

Our website year as somewhat of a dual purpose.  We talk about gridlock here.  Typically we talk about the gridlock that we see in politics, and on occasion we talk about the physical gridlock that we experience in the world is rapidly filling up with too many people.  The two problems are somewhat related as bad politics leads to more physical congestion, and too much physical congestion leads to complicated politics.

I'd like to share with you a great list of Web 2.0 technology tools compiled for geeks to use, but built in such a way that anybody can really use them.  You don't have to be an Einstein to really use these great Web 2.0 tips.

You might wonder what Web 2.0 is?  It's basically a website designed to synthesize multiple sources of information in a way that emulates how your brain would work if it had all that information.  Or to put it differently, they attempt to answer the questions that you're going to ask before you ask them and then provide you that information.

A website called vroomvroomvroom.com put together this great list of 25 Web 2.0 tools that can make it easier for you to get around in the world.  They will help you with local travel as well as international travel, they help you avoid the bad restaurants that might kill you if you're traveling internationally and they help you avoid the traffic gridlock that might kill you from a heart attack or from a traffic accident.  And it sounds a little extreme they also does help you make your life little bit easier! 

Regardless there's that only some very useful tools here and some great examples of how technology is advancing to the point where it can make your life easier.  Technology can solve all of our problems and never will however they can simplify something to technology and that can help us focus on the more important things in life.
