Editor's Notes
- #6 It may be helpful to quickly sum up the first generation of websites. They were typically produced and maintained by independent webmasters who updated the websites' content only when the information became dated or was no longer aligned with the business goals. The vast majority of websites pre-2000 websites were "read only", meaning you could only look at the content without changing it. If you wanted to suggest a change, correct or add information you would have most likely been redirected to a contact form or email address of the webmaster who controlled the contents of the website. So what happened next? Plenty of things. Open-source software, particularly web server and web development software such as PHP and Perl, and database software such as MySQL enabled rapid development of online applications for a fraction of the cost. The barrier of entry has been lowered to the point where anyone with an idea can build a powerful web service and open its doors to the world. Web 2.0 and its meaning has been debated at length. With much conflict, and lack of a definitive definition, I thought today we could explore how various key players interpret the meaning of Web 2.0 Technologists see Web 2.0 as the technologies, programming languages and the scalable infrastructure that powers a new breed of online applications known as web services Marketers use Web 2.0 services and see them primarily as platforms where they can reach out and connect with customers on a more intimate level. Yet, to call the group of people "customers" may not be the correct term. In the Web 2.0 era, the customers are the creators. The creators build web pages, upload audio, video and images, and tag multimedia files providing other users with useful information about their creations. This material is known as "user-generated content". What about corporate types? Business people and financiers see Web 2.0 as an opportunity to problem-solve for their customers while engaging them in conversation about their products and services. The Web has allowed businesses to dream up solutions to existing problems, build the technologies to solve those problems, and then allow consumers to turn into contributers by participating through blogs, podcasts, and online profiles.

Wasn’t too difficult Linked back to our home page, so that posts on this site go straight onto home page NO NEED TO POST TWICE!!!!! Next step is to set up MAWA permanent page…currently doing, then will close this one down.
