Web 2.0 ... Huh?! Dinesh Parisutham - Webmater & Intranet manager - PITS
A Definition?
The term Web 2.0 is associated with web applications that facilitate interactive systemic biases, interoperability, user-centered design and developing the World Wide Web.  A Web 2.0 site allows users to interact and collaborate with each other in a social media dialogue as consumers of user-generated content in a virtual community, in contrast to websites where users (prosumers) are limited to the active viewing of content that they created and controlled.  Examples of Web 2.0 include social networking sites, blogs, wikis, video sharing sites, hosted services, web applications, mashups and folksonomies.

Editor's Notes

  • #12 "[This is] not my mom's Internet," Sharkey said. "It's changing, and it's changing because we're looking at the share-shifting—the time people are looking at TV, reading a magazine, listening to the radio—they're not replacing each other; they're coming together." These numbers might not be surprising, Sharkey said, but new elements have been added to the list of late, notably that in one day 20 million pictures have been shared over the AOL network, 560,000 blogs have been updated, and 1.8 million poll votes have been cast. And then there are AOL Music Sessions videos, like the one from rap artist 50 Cent, which was streamed 6.1 million times upon its initial debut. Web users have started to control their own programming, especially the new "Generation C," short for Generation Content. This young group of users has created its own content online, through blogs, through sharing images, and by creating personalized "away" messages on AIM.
