Photos: IBM lifts the lid on web 2.0 tech

A behind-the-scenes peek at Big Blue's UK R&D centre

This is the homepage for DIY Shopper - a concept retail website developed with retail group Kingfisher that uses web 2.0 concepts such as blogs and buddy lists.

The page shows a list of items for a DIY project as well as buddy lists of in-store advisors and people doing similar projects, who can share their experiences.

The system also interacts with Second Life and provides users with in-store mobile services.

    We're hitting the afterburners on some pretty good IBM Spitfires, to go up against the Microsoft Messerschmitts that have darkened the skies for so many years recently, though.

    OS/2 ? Who needs it. We've got Linux.
