Web 2.0 Innovation Not Dead

How long has it been since a great new Web 2.0 service was launched - or bought for a crazy amount of money? Has innovation come to a grinding halt?

Take a look at Twitter or LinkedIn; seem like the latets fads, but they have been around for quite some time (Twitter mid 2006, LinkedIn launched May 2003).

Anyway, innovation is still happening. Here are some (getting them to work isn't always easy):

• Mjoy. Free SMS to any fixed or wireless phone. Ads will appear on the mobile portal, not in any message.
• Dial2Do. Launched in April 2008 in the U.S. and comes to 18 more countries Thursday. Sign up, dial a 'local' number and speak. Dial2do will translate your message into an email, a Twitter message, an SMS, and more.
• Gmail voice and video chat. Goes without comment.
• YouMail. Personalised voicemail greetings, and more.
• Yotify. A little like Google (GOOG) alerts. Create targeted 'scouts' that'll send you hourly/daily email updates from specific sites.
