Wow, it’s been a fun ride with our new site, SiteHoppin.com. Although we haven’t really made that much money off traffic, the good news is that we’ve “doubled” our network traffic as whole in just 2 weeks since SiteHoppin’s public beta launch!

It’s great that our traffic is going up, but how can this help you? Go submit your blog posts at SiteHoppin‘. (The more you bookmark, the more it will get distributed to the SiteHoppers)

Zedomax Network, a Web2.0 Web 2.5 company based out of San Francisco, breaks through 16K unique visitors for the day on January 11th, 2008, one day right after the founder Max’s birthday.

Thanks to their new site, SiteHoppin’, which brought more than 10K unique visitors for the day, contributing to the Zedomax Network.

Well, here’s year 2008 and Zedomax Network is going strong with over 450K views per month!

If you have been wondering why we have been quiet, it’s because we are short-handed with developers due to profit losses this year.

Basically, we have one developer this year and everything else is being outsourced. (Well, when we have money that is…)

On the bright side, we are developing a new Web 2.5 social bookmarking/networking site called SiteHoppin.com.

It’s still only about 50% complete but the site is open to public for beta testing.

Basically, you get free traffic to your websites. All you have to do it submit your URLs.

On top of it, we will have a new feature called, “Tag Browsing”, that allows you to “hop” your favorite sites at a click of your mouse button.

It’s similar to StumbleUpon.com and Del.icio.us but very different in that you can “tag browse” sites.

Check it out if you want to see our site being revamped live.

On another great note for year 2008 and 4am in the morning, we got a new knol project called http://knolproject.net. Right now, we don’t have anything on there but we are planning to “open-source” the paid wiki concept to let everyone get in the new “paid wiki” wave. Basically, we will teach you how to make a wiki site like the One Buck Wiki or the new Google Knol Project. We are currently accepting any freelance developers to contribute and share ideas for the site so if you are interested in community development, shoot us an email at zedomax [at] gmail.com and you will be included in our exclusive list of developers for the new open source project.

I have been keeping a keen eye on the new project by creator of Million Dollar Wiki, Graham Langdon. His new EntreCard, a free widget for bloggers, allows bloggers to advertise and trade 125×125 pixel ads for free. The above is a Alexa web traffic charts comparing BlogRush and EntreCard. As you can see, BlogRush did get MASSIVE traffic in the beginning and slowly on its way downhill. On the other hand, EntreCard started very very SLOW, and seems to have caught up with BlogRush already. Once EntreCard gets out to even more bloggers, the viral effect will cause EntreCard to exponentially grow. Am I an EntreCard evangelist? Hell yes, because it’s a great advertising system built on great functionalities unlike BlogRush.

Now, you can see a close-up of what’s been happening between EntreCard and BlogRush in the last 4 weeks. I bet it won’t be more than 2 weeks before EntreCard eclipses BlogRush. What will happen to BlogRush? It will probably die and suffer massively while EntreCard “converts” BlogRush users to its own.

If you are a blogger and haven’t tried EntreCard, try it today. Our card is the one with One Buck Wiki and EntreWiki so, drop us a card!

We’ve just launched The Quarter Wiki, a new paid online Encyclopedia where users can buy a page for just a quarter.

Cool, the Web 3.0 definition is out:

• Web 3.0 is defined as the creation of high-quality content and services produced by gifted individuals using Web 2.0 technology as an enabling platform.

Web 2.0 services are now the commoditized platform, not the final product. In a world where a social network, wiki, or social bookmarking service can be built for free and in an instant, what’s next?

Web 2.0 services like digg and YouTube evolve into Web 3.0 services with an additional layer of individual excellence and focus. As an example, funnyordie.com leverages all the standard YouTube Web 2.0 feature sets like syndication and social networking, while adding a layer of talent and trust to them.

A version of digg where experts check the validity of claims, corrected errors, and restated headlines to be more accurate would be the Web 3.0 version. However, I’m not sure if the digg community will embrace that any time soon.

Wikipedia, considered a Web 1.5 service, is experiencing the start of the Web 3.0 movement by locking pages down as they reach completion, and (at least in their German version) requiring edits to flow through trusted experts.

Also of note, is what Web 3.0 leaves behind. Web 3.0 throttles the “wisdom of the crowds” from turning into the “madness of the mobs” we’ve seen all to often, by balancing it with a respect of experts. Web 3.0 leaves behind the cowardly anonymous contributors and the selfish blackhat SEOs that have polluted and diminished so many communities.

Web 3.0 is a return to what was great about media and technology before Web 2.0: recognizing talent and expertise, the ownership of ones words, and fairness. It’s time to evolve, shall we?

I agree with Jason to a certain extent but I believe this isn’t the fullest explanation of what we are about to see. Web3.0 will be more videos, social networks that cover all types of niche markets. It’s like digg sites that will run everywhere just like blogs are doing right now. I don’t know how long THIS will take but once it takes off, it should be the Web3.0 that we did not expect. Remember, Web2.0 is a concept derived from O’Reiley that we just kinda follow after it took off. Web3.0 will be way more serious than this. We won’t know it’s Web3.0 until it has hit us…that will take time…don’t know when…

P.S. It will probably be when we call social networks, sonet, just like we are calling weblogs blogs now…
