Web 2.0 is still a hotly debated subject. I have long since decided to let other, more patient, souls carry on the discussion of whether this quickly growing jungle of web tools and services deserve their own numeral or not.

Either way, you can’t help but admire the creativity of some of these sites. A recent favorite of mine (found by Charles Knight) is MizPee, a site that lets you search for clean rest rooms in your vicinity!

Listings contain information about the quality of the facilities, weather a purchase is required, the address and a link that places these facilities on a Yahoo map.

You can also add rest rooms, rate already added rest rooms or browse a list of the worst and best ones in your area. MizPee is now fully Web 2.0 enabled: They recently became available via mobile phone.

If you find yourself wondering “What will they think of next?”, go to Web Two Point Oh where a web application with a bent for sarcasm will generate Web 2.0 business concepts on the fly.
