Web 2.0 | Oh how we mock you

I would be talking about to sites I came across, Beggr.com and Wankr. Both these sites are small and simple(ly making a mock of the whole web 2.0 movement).

Lets start with Beggr.com (http://www.beggr.com). Right now it is curently in its beta 2 release. The change from there first release is stated as '... this one is 2.0, beta and has a shinier logo.' The point of this site is '.. all about the money, so can I have some of yours please?'. That is about it when it comes to the site, but they are trying to keep the web 2.0 spirit in mind.

Now Wankr (http://www.parm.net/web2.0/), let me start with warning you that it may not be something for every 6 year old to be viewing. With that said, it was built with aggression towards collaborative, social, tagging, AJAX, curvy edges and everything else that makes up a web 2.0 website. They too ask for money if "..you're an idiot VC who is willing to throw money at any website".

Both these site are pretty stupid and nothing to them but none the less still worth a quick look.
