Everything Bad Is Good For You
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.
In simple ….
Web 2.0 (the next generation internet ) is an interactive and evolutionary internet experience, sounds good, that, ah, unites people with a global community and similar micro-communities, micro’s good, to provide a user friendly, fun, creative, and, ah, growth fostering experience.
Way’s to know that you have been Web2.0ified…..
1) Your first association with the word cloud is tag
2) When you get back from a trip, the first thing you do when you get home is post your pics on Flickr (http://www.flickr.com) or movies on YouTube (www.youtube.com)
3) You have more drinks on Facebook (http://www.facebook.com) than in real life
4) Nobody asks you what’s up anymore. They already know from your Twitter (http://www.twitter.com) and Facebook status updates.
5) You think that “reach out & touch someone” means poke them
6) You wake up, reach for the phone to update your Facebook status, and then make coffee. Then you update your Facebook status about it.
7) You have many friends all over the place. But you’ve never met most of them. www.hi5.com
It’s simply just a trendy way of saying “hey, we’re doing different things on the internet today than we were a while back”.
