One of the great things about the whole Web 2.0 thing is the way it handles content delivery. The end goal, of course, is to give the visitor exactly the information they want, when they want it.

But despite the promises, there are still some bugs to work out.

I was reading the Boston Globe the other day, and noticed in the “Most Read” column (another great Web 2.0 feature) a listing for “Clemens sex trouble”. Now I’m not really a baseball fan, but that headline is a little hard to resist.

Clicking the link brings you to the story along with a handy Google map (left). I guess the idea is that it will help you find any businesses in the area that are related to the published story. Unfortunately, some un-web savvy readers will be scratching their heads wondering why they haven’t heard of Clemons and his sex tour of Boston colleges before now…

The Internet is all about content delivery, and as a content provider I am pretty excited about what the future holds. It’s almost as exciting to see those mis-steps along the way.
