About
Started in early 2005, Rev2.org is a weblog dedicated to profiling new Web 2.0 startups and technologies and providing indepth analysis on the state of this industry. At the time of creation, there was a lack of weblog coverage around this topic and Web 2.0 was a brand new idea gaining hype. Soon enough as new startups emerged, it became apparent that this is where the future of the web was heading. Rev2 was created to document this change.
Our Elevator Pitch
There is a revolution going on, have you noticed? Rev2 has the unique responsibility to inform you of new and updated Web 2.0 startups, products, and features. KafeKraft launches a revolutionary new social network for barbie dolls? Great, you can read about it on Rev2 (and we’ll tell you if it’s really bad!). Google launches a massive online operating system web app and sells $50 terminals with free connectivity? We’ll not only post it, but we might just give a few away! Trust us to keep you in the loop on whats new and whats changed. If you want to be on the edge of the edge of this fascinating change, we are your beacon.
The Team
Sid Yadav Founder & Editor
Hi! I’m Sid. I live on the internet, dream of world domination, make bad puns, and have frappucinos at Starbucks. I’m a centrist & minimalist by nature and existentialist by philosophy. Oh, and I’m also a fledging entrepreneur. I edit Rev2 by day and by night I spearhead a startup that will help you share stuff when it launches called Nincha (we’re currently in incremental development stages.) If you need to reach me personally, you can e-mail me here — I’m always free to give media interviews and discussing new ideas and gigs. For the complete me, check out my blog at http://sidyadav.com/.
Zach Sims Associate Editor & Director of Content Development
Hi, I’m Zach. I live in Connecticut, USA, and lead public relations/content development at Rev2, while contributing regular analysis and in-depth features. As with Sid and Brandon, I’m passionate about Web 2.0, and an avid user of nearly every service under the sun. When I’m not working on Rev2, I keep myself occupied running my political blog, New School Politics, contributing occassionally to Mac software blog MacApper, and going to school. You can find more about me at my personal website or reach me here. Thanks!
Parimal Satyal Contributor
Hi, I’m Parimal. I live in Kathmandu, Nepal, and I’m an associate writer for Rev2. I drool every time I discover the wonders of the Mac, get excited about web technologies, and am a sucker for usable, minimalist user interfaces. I love photography and digital graphics, listening to and producing my own powermetal music, and can spend days at an airport watching aircraft and runway lights. I’ve also developed a recent interest in European languages and the typical British accent. RealityEquation.net is where I can be found, or you can reach me at this address.
Brandon West Contributor
Hi, I’m Brandon. I live in Kansas, USA, and I’m an associate editor at Rev2. I’m very passionate about Web 2.0 — I love trying out new, useful services. I’m currently studying law and economics, so reviewing new web services and products is a break for me. When I am not writing about the next YouTube or making a list of cool things, I keep myself busy playing basketball, games, and hanging out with friends. I can be reached here with anything you might have in mind.
