Microsoft uses various social media platforms like blogs, wikis, Twitter, Facebook, and RSS feeds to connect with people around the world and share information about upcoming products and news. These platforms represent how the old model of static web pages has been transformed, as users now publish their own content through new methods of collaboration and sharing across the internet. This new style of interactive and social web experience, collectively called "Web 2.0", allows organizations to build new systems for collaboration and business opportunities.

8. • The old models of how people publish and consume information on
the Web have been radically transformed in recent times. Instead of
simply viewing information on static Web pages, users now publish
their own content through blogs and wikis, and on photo- and video-
sharing sites. People are collaborating, discussing and forming online
communities, and combining data, content, and services from multiple
sources to create personalized experiences and applications.

sharing sites, discussion and collaboration areas, and application
design patterns or "mashups" are transforming the consumer Web.
They also represent a significant opportunity for organizations to
build new social and Web-based collaboration, productivity, and
business systems, and to improve cost and revenue returns.
