Web 2.0 defined

Web 2.0 is a new generation of Internet-based services based on an interactivity platform, in which content is created, shared, remixed, repurposed, and passed along.

People are having a conversation, with a vocabulary consisting not just of words but of images, video, multimedia and whatever they could get their hands on . And this became, and looked like, and behaved like, a social network ( Stephen Downes ).

In Web 2. 0, information flows in multiple directions, is user-generated, and widely shared with the community of learners.

Open source – you never start from scratch

Communications – Social Media put users in control of the conversations .

This results in:

Every user is a writer, publisher (Blogger, wiki)

A Designer, producer (Podcast, iTunes)

An Expert (wikipedia)

A Broadcaster (YouTube, google video)

An Editor/Critic of the network (wiki)
