What Is Web 2.0 

The web 2.0 is the latest tedchnology which is taking the place of DOT COM. The concept started with the brainstorming conference between O’Reilly and MediaLive International. They started this due to the crash of DOT-COM.

These are some of the differences between the two.

Web 1.0   Web 2.0
DoubleClick –> Google AdSense
Ofoto –> Flickr
Akamai –> BitTorrent
mp3.com –> Napster
Britannica Online –> Wikipedia
personal websites –> blogging
evite –> upcoming.org and EVDB
domain name speculation –> search engine optimization
page views –> cost per click
screen scraping –> web services
publishing –> participation
content management systems –> wikis
directories (taxonomy) –> tagging (”folksonomy”)
stickiness –> syndication

 

1. The Web As Platform

The work in 2.0 is still in progress, but shows that many ideas radiates out from web 2.0 core. 

 

Here is Prototype page of Web 2.0

Here is a quote that Tim O’reilly gave of what 2.0 is going to become

‘Web 2.0 is the network as platform, spanning all connected devices; Web 2.0 applications are those that make the most of the intrinsic advantages of that platform: delivering software as a continually-updated service that gets better the more people use it, consuming and remixing data from multiple sources, including individual users, while providing their own data and services in a form that allows remixing by others, creating network effects through an “architecture of participation,” and going beyond the page metaphor of Web 1.0 to deliver rich user experiences.

More about Web 2.0

The web 2.0 is known to be an inmproved form of world wide web. The easier word for it is “Participatory Web”, having better tools and platforms that make the users tags, blogs, comments, modifys, augments, select from, rank, and generally answer back to the other users and the general world community, has increasingly seen use as an alternative phrase. Some commentators regard reputation-based public wikis, such as Wikipedia, as pioneering examples of Web 2.0/Participatory Web technology.
