What Is Web 2.0?
The remarkable innovation term ‘Web 2.0’ has brought about some great and amazing dimensions to the way activities are currently conducted on the Internet. Hence, Web 2.0 companies are springing up all over the Web everyday and a whole lot of them are generating huge buzz and excitement with large revenue and even much more interest from large corporations. I’m sure you know by now, that Web 2.0 is one of the most talked about phenomenon on the Internet right now. But, I recently discovered that not too many Internet users truly or rightly understand what Web 2.0 basically means. So, today I want to share with you the basics of this great innovation. Hey! Wait a minute. What is Web 2.0? Contrary to many beliefs or what you personally might think, web 2.0 is not actually a new version of the Web/Internet. It’s simply a term coined and used to refer to the new trends in Internet Sites, Services, and Technologies. Ok! Let me throw more light on that. A few years back, some brilliant dudes in the Internet world went and made some totally revolutionary Websites, packed with many new and cutting-edge technologies, so much different that they could not be branded with the old Websites around and this was why the term Web 2.0 was coined by Tim O’ Reilly to distinguish those new sites from others.
What’s New? These new generation sites have brought a pretty new aspect to the web, the effects of which is easily noticeable all over the Internet now, as most of the biggest and highly successful sites on the web today are Web 2.0 sites, so what’s the idea? Simple! The core of this new innovation is Social Interaction and User Generated Contents. In essence, if you examine some of the biggest sites currently on the Internet; Facebook, Myspace, Wikipedia, Technorati, Digg, etc. You’ll discover all these are highly successful Web 2.0 sites which totally rely on their user base to create 80% to 99% of the sites’ contents. Therefore, as you might have discovered, the core of these sites is their users and visitors, without them the sites would almost be empty and no one would even want to visit them. The Subset of Web 2.0 With the advent of web 2.0, more and more innovative and creative sites are coming online, all of which take on the new technology hand in hand and those I called the subsets of Web 2.0. Below are some of them; * Social Networks – Myspace, Facebook, Mylot, etc. * Social Bookmarking – Del.icio.us, Digg, Technorati, StumbleUpon, etc. * User Generated Societies – Wikipedia, Squidoo, Hubpages, etc.
These are just but a few, there are more and even still more coming everyday, but permit me to limit the list here to these few due to space constraint
