I'll apologize right now for using "Web 2.0 drinking Game" in the title of this column, BUT it did get your attention...didn't it? If you're unaware, Wikipedia states that the term Web 2.0 "refers to a second-generation of Internet-based services - such as social networking sites, wikis, communication tools, and folksonomies - that let people collaborate and share information online in previously unavailable ways.. That's why this week I'm bringing you the best way to Workout with such overwrought, unnecessary buzzwords and the sites that love them. Yes, it's the Tommy 2.0 SHRED Game, so pull up a chair, grab your H20 (well, thats what I would use, lol), and get some friends together before you start. After all, the only thing more fun than playing a workout game based on websites is doing it with a friend. And this of course is not the last word, as the Tommy 2.0 SHRED Game, much like the Web 2.0, is a living thing that thrives on user input. Got some ideas for a Del.icio.us section? Maybe some Facebook rules? Our Comments section is waiting for you.
