Web 2.0 Applications 
SAMIR ZAKHARIA
What is Web 2.0 
 Web 2.0 site may allow users to interact and collaborate with each other in 
a social media dialogue as creators of user-generated content in a virtual 
community, in contrast to Web sites where people are limited to the 
passive viewing of content. Examples of Web 2.0 include social networking 
sites, blogs, wikis, folksonomies, video sharing sites, hosted services, Web 
applications, and mashups
Blogs 
 A blog is a discussion or informational site published on the World Wide 
Web and consisting of discrete entries typically displayed in reverse 
chronological order. Until 2009 blogs were usually the work of a single 
individual occasionally of a small group, and often covered a single subject. 
More recently "multi-author blogs" (MABs) have developed, with posts 
written by large numbers of authors and professionally edited. MABs 
from newspapers, other media outlets, universities, think tanks, advocacy 
groups and similar institutions account for an increasing quantity of blog 
traffic. The rise of Twitter and other "microblogging" systems helps 
integrate MABs and single-author blogs into societal newstreams. Blog can 
also be used as a verb, meaning to maintain or add content to a blog.
Wiki 
 A wiki is a web application which allows people to add, modify, or delete 
content in collaboration with others. In a typical wiki, text is written using a 
simplified markup language or a rich-text editor. While a wiki is a type of 
content management system, it differs from a blog or most other such 
systems in that the content is created without any defined owner or leader, 
and wikis have little implicit structure, allowing structure to emerge 
according to the needs of the users
Web Application 
 A web application or web app is any application software that runs in 
a web browser and is created in a browser-supported programming 
language (such as the combination of JavaScript, HTML and CSS) and relies 
on a web browser to render the application
Social Networking 
 social networking service is a platform to build social networks or social 
relations among people who share interests, activities, backgrounds or real-life 
connections. A social network service consists of a representation of each user 
(often a profile), his social links, and a variety of additional services. Social 
networks are web-based services that allow individuals to create a public 
profile, to create a list of users with whom to share connections, and view and 
cross the connections within the system. Most social network services are web-based 
and provide means for users to interact over the Internet, such as e-mail 
and instant messaging. Social network sites are varied and they 
incorporate new information and communication tools such as mobile 
connectivity, photo/video/sharing and blogging. Online community services 
are sometimes considered as a social network service, though in a broader 
sense, social network service usually means an individual-centered service 
whereas online community services are group-centered. Social networking 
sites allow users to share ideas, pictures, posts, activities, events, interests with 
people in their network.
