Something cheap to resell for more moola.
Hahaha, good point. How about, "Used by the non-geeky masses, regardless of their sanity."
Well, I think Newsvine did a good job of giving benefits to people whether they decide to participate or not. Everybody gets to read the stories that others have written and/or voted for and everybody gets to read the comments that have been left.
It's a great site whether they actually sign up or not, and if you do decide to sign up and participate, it doesn't take a geek to figure it out.
I recently wrote a post on how most Web 2.0 sites and applications are geared for geeks, and not many actually attempt to target your everyday people.
5 sites I listed as ones actually attempting the bigger crowd are MySpace, Flickr, YouTube, WordPress.com, and Newsvine.
Why do you think that we haven't seen more attempts for bringing some Web 2.0 to normal people? Or are there more sites out there and I just haven't seen them?

I just signed up, looks like a great way to test designs. Have to wait for a little more data though before I can really play with it.
Try emailing a few designers you like asking for quotes, or try the 37signals job board.
Sitepoint is another good place to find some designers.
I don't think that all code is poetry, but I think that all code should be poetry.
Code should have form and structure, be resorceful and condense, and be fun to look at.
In fact, this inspired me to write a series on just this: Making Code Poetry Part I
Yeah, and it's got AJAX too--but does it have a sweet 9rules logo on there?

Ultimate rocks. Played quite a few games this summer, pretty sweet.
Demetri Martin. See his MySpace Trendspotting on the Daily Show.
Some of his stand-up is genius as well.
While not really a "plugin" per se, my Better-Than-Live AJAX Search is probably my favorite "extension."
Notepad++ is pretty sweet. Wish there was FTP integration in there though.
Digg has probably been childish about it (what else is new...), but they do have a point. Netscape bribing other communities to post at their site instead of Digg/Reddit/Del.icio.us/Flickr is just, well, stupid. What did they honestly expect? You can't buy a community.
I honestly dove into prototype/script.aculo.us just because at the time it seemed to be the most popular (so why not). But now I've been using it for a while, and love it. So many nice little shortcuts, and I've been quite pleased with the AJAX helpers.
With script.aculo.us, I've only really used the effects.js file (which I use all the time), but I'd like to start playing with their other stuff soon.
I'm with Scrivs. Web 2.0 is all about creating an experience rather than just a website. Social aspects, good design, clean code, and web applications all just help play a part in that.
