Sadly, Amazon.com is not working that one can see what was cool in 1998

Most of the people in the internet are talking about technology and politics!

I wonder why Scoble is not in the list. When he is online i do not see anybody else on Twirhl.

ReadWriteWeb has made a list of all new web page creation tools. Some of them are really nice:

Webon is the most successful one:

…and looks really good. So try it out!
I also tried out Google pages and Yahoo Web Toolkit. Google Pages is ok for the beginner but don’t start to be creative. Than you get the same problems as with templates in common webdevelopment kits like Dreamweaver, GoLive or MSFT Expression/Frontpage.

But for the first webpage it looks ok. In Germany a lot of companies inside the SMB sector still do not have an homepage.
