Web tools are used by web developers to test the user interface of a website. They can contain multiple tools that process input data entered by users and return outputs like features, maps, reports or files. Web 1.0 refers to the early, read-only web that allowed users to only search and read information from static sites with passive audiences. Examples include directories and content download sites. Web 2.0 represents the current, read-write web where users can generate and share content through interactive sites that facilitate collaboration. Examples of social media, blogs, wikis and applications illustrate how users can both read and write on Web 2.0 platforms.

Comparing Web 1.0 and Web 2.0

3. WEB 1.0
According to Berners-Lee, web 1.0 is the “read-only web.” In other words, the early web
allowed us to search for information and read it. There was very little in the way of user
interaction or content generation.
Web 1.0 also refers to the first stage in the World Wide Web, which was entirely made up of
web pages connected by hyperlinks.
It allows users to read only
Has information sharing sites
The sites are static
Audience is passive

4. WEB 1.0 EXAMPLES
Web Directories - Yahoo
Content Download Sites - Mp3.com

5. WEB 2.0
The second generation of the World Wide Web in which
content is user-generated and dynamic, a read-write web,
which;
Allows users to read and write
Has information sharing sites
Interaction with other people
Collaboration

6. WEB 2.0 EXAMPLES:
Social Networking Sites – Instagram, Twitter,
YouTube, Facebook
Blog/Wikis
Applications

7. Difference
■ Web 1.0
It is the “readable” phrase of the
World Wide Web with flat data. In
Web 1.0, there is only limited
interaction between sites and web
users. Web 1.0 is simply an
information portal where users
passively receive information
without being given the opportunity
to post reviews, comments, and
feedback.
■ Web 2.0
It is the “writable” phrase of the
World Wide Web with interactive
data. Unlike Web 1.0, Web 2.0
facilitates interaction between web
users and sites, so it allows users
to interact more freely with each
other. Web 2.0 encourages
participation, collaboration, and
information sharing. Examples of
Web 2.0 applications are Youtube,
Wiki, Flickr, Facebook, and so on.
