A while back I had a Web 2.0 category at ProHipHop but I figured the trendy terminology would fade and other terms would arise.  Well, Web 2.0 has entered the language, spawning all sorts of variations ending in 2.0, and in order to not be left behind, ProHipHop now has a Hip Hop 2.0 category where Web 2.0 news, especially related to hip hop, will be found.  I’ll be going back and adding relevant earlier posts to the cat in the near future.

I was sharing this fascinating tale with Ben Longoria of Vocab Collab via email and that’s when I finally broke down and accepted the inevitability of Hip Hop 2.0 as a ProHipHop category.  I know we have too many but there you have it!

Vocab Collab describes itself as:
a user-generated, searchable, online rhyme repository and rhyme publishing platform. Publish your rhymes, and search for what other writers have published that rhyme with your lyrics.

More from Ben aka enefekt:
The desktop authoring tool is called "Phloneme" and it lets you tag and mark-up rhymes, then publish your content to Vocab Collab with a Creative Commons license. It also lets you search for rhymes from Vocab Collab.

The rhymes get published in a microformat that I created. The idea is that these could end up being used in RSS remixes or mash-ups.

The site’s very much in the early phase but you’ll get the idea.
