If you haven't read my previous blog titled, "Web 2. What?". You can read it here.

This is a follow-up of my previous blog.

I just checked out the web 2.0 website and the their so called "web2upgrade". It looks like their site have just confirmed my initial thoughts on their so called technology (cough). It also looks like they had everyone that signed up fooled.

Anyway they are not offering anything special and I can safely say their upgrade is a sham and doesn't exist. All they did was purchased a cheap social networking script from dzoic. As I was checking things out their site wasn't working lol.

Here is the link to the off the shelf script if you're interested. http://www.handshakesdemo.com/index.php?theme=handshakes

Now compare that with Web 2.0's website... http://www.web2server.info/

Also the toolbar which they ask you to download is for Internet explorer and produced by a company by the name of Softomate that has been known to include adware or spyware. Softomate appears to be out of business as their site is not working. Though it could just be down at the moment... who knows, but if I had to guess they are probably out of business due to spyware/malware or possibly trojan installation.

Anyhow once the tool bar is installed you might find it difficult to remove which could cause some security problems. See link http://www.fbmsoftware.com/spyware-net/Application/Adware_Softomate/

As the cliche goes, "if it's too good to be true, it probably is". Looks like everyone that signed up is going to be sorely disappointed.

The bottom line is there is no upgrade. From the looks of things, it would seem they are just trying to ride on the tailcoates of the popularity of social networking sites such as Myspace and Facebook and so on...
