web 2.0: 2010

Saturday, April 17, 2010

If you have Mobile Web 2.0 on your phone, does is use your minutes whenever you're on it?

I might get it but my mother doesn't want to pay if it uses minutes.

If you have Mobile Web 2.0 on your phone, does is use your minutes whenever you're on it?
Mobile web is $5 monthly charge and pulls airtime when in use ... except for nights and weekends if your plans comes with unlimited nights and weekend then if you use it during these times no airtime is pulled.... if you subscribe to VCast for $15 a month mobile web is included and comes with unlimited airtime for get it now and mobile web as well as vcast
Reply:What service provider do you have?

Usually using the web doesn't deduct your minutes, but the provider will charge you by the kilobyte.

If you are going to use the web a lot, you should get a web plan. It's like texting at 10 cents a text versus getting the unlimited texting plan for a flat fee of $10.00

What is exactly the web 2.0?

Web 2.0 is social, it’s open (or at least it should be), it’s letting go of control over your data, it’s mixing the global with the local. Web 2.0 is about new interfaces - new ways of searching and accessing Web content. And last but not least, Web 2.0 is a platform - and not just for developers to create web applications like Gmail and Flickr. The Web is a platform to build on for educators, media, politics, community, for virtually everyone in fact!

Web 2.0 is all of the above things - don’t let anyone tell you it’s one or the other definition.

What is exactly the web 2.0?
A vague buzzword that basically boils down to "The way websites are built today rather than the way they were built five years ago".

User generated content, normal (as opposed to small) font sizes, rounded corners, gradients, and content sent to and from the server using JavaScript (to avoid refreshing the page) are hallmarks of Web 2.0.

http://www.oreilly.com/pub/a/oreilly/tim... is an another attempt to explain it.

It it a good term to avoid if technical people are involved in the discussion (since it is so vague and broad).

What is the best web 2.0 site of the world?

"web 2.0" is a vague and generic term that generally means a web site that doesn't need to load new pages all the time to get things done. Since there are a ton of different categories of websites that would each have a "best", and since any judgment anyone could give you would be completely subjective, I'd have to say there is no "best web 2.0 site of the world".

What the h*ll is WEB 2.0?

Somebody please define this for me. Is it an idea? Is it a belief?

What the h*ll is WEB 2.0?
There doesn't seem to be a consensus about what exactly that means. The term is pretty much technobabble in my opinion.

I've heard many definitions of the term Web 2.0 from different people. Some people use the term merely to describe the style of buttons with that reflection-gradient effect.

In reality, it's more like just poorly chosen name for the Internet business model that includes recent trends like user-driven content.
Reply:it's has many definitions.

From Wiki

Web 2.0 is a trend in World Wide Web technology, and web design, a second generation of web-based communities and hosted services such as social-networking sites, wikis, blogs, and folksonomies, which aim to facilitate creativity, information sharing, collaboration, and sharing among users. It is almost defined as the new era of the World Wide Web. The term became notable after the first O'Reilly Media Web 2.0 conference in 2004.[2][3] Although the term suggests a new version of the World Wide Web, it does not refer to an update to any technical specifications, but to changes in the ways software developers and end-users use webs. According to Tim O'Reilly:

“ Web 2.0 is the business revolution in the computer industry caused by the move to the Internet as platform, and an attempt to understand the rules for success on that new platform.[4] ”

Some technology experts, notably Tim Berners-Lee, have questioned whether one can use the term in a meaningful way, since many of the technology components of "Web 2.0" have existed since the early days of the Web.[5][6]
Reply:To be honest, it means different things to different people. To be very general, it's just a more professional and geeky way of saying "The New Internet". It's a buzz word. Following the dot com bust and the rapid expansion of broadband, the internet has changed quite a bit in the past several years. This changed or "new" version of web encompasses a lot of things. To narrow it to a few things, you can look at it this way...

- Broadband allows for more graphically appealing websites and more technically advanced websites and an influx of interactive media

- Consumer generated content dominates media

- More advanced technology allows for more advanced web applications

Those are the drivers of the New Internet; however, to different people it means different things. Designers think of Web 2.0 as the latest style--candy-like graphics, flexible layouts, the use of CSS over tables. Business people and marketers think of it as the influence and strength of Consumer Generated Content and Consumer Generated Media--users contributing to the content of websites in one form or another. Tech folks think of it as the advancement in programming languages, technology, and platforms--AJAX, open-source frameworks, etc.
Reply:http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Web_2#Defin...
Reply:Web 2.0 is supposed to be a trend in the way that applications on the World Wide Web are changing and developing. Supposedly, the old-fashioned WWW was about individuals surfing around and doing their own thing (searching, shopping, researching). But Web 2.0 is about how people are interacting with each other through technologies like blogs, wikis, and social networking sites like Facebook.

So, on the old-fashioned Web, you might go to an online bookstore and buy a book. With the so-called Web 2.0, people contribute reviews and discussions on Amazon, and their collective activity helps to shape what books you decide to buy and read.

On the old-fashioned Web, you might use a search engine to look up a fact. With Web 2.0, Wikipedia is collectively written and edited by people all over the world. Yahoo Answers itself is an example of how this is supposed to work.

More Web technologies and new applications are written with the expectation that they'll encourage that kind of interaction between people (not just person to machine). And so people will point to some particular specification or protocol (like RSS or WSDL) and say that's Web 2.0 in action.

Does that make sense?
Reply:It's funny how no one knows, except copying from other sources like wiki and other places.

It's basically just an update for the web. New coding, html, css, different coding standards, faster internet, alot of little kinks and quirks what makes the WWW go round n round.

What would be a good "web 2.0" company name?

The company/website is about literature based on a community of people.

What would be a good "web 2.0" company name?
It isn't much good getting suggestions as I have three web sites and each one is not the name I asked for originally. Even my name here of Rowen is registered someplace else. If I want to name a web site Rowen I have to choose a vacant name like rowena1 or 1rowen. So see what you can register first or what is not already registered.

Are there good books on web 2.0 web design?

Of course. What book you should get really depends on what you know already. If you're familiar with conventional web design (HTML, Javascript, PHP/ASP) than try to find an introductory book on AJAX. If you're already experienced with AJAX, find a book on AJAX design principles. If you've no idea what most of those acronyms mean, find a book on HTML.

I'd recommend a book published by either Sam's Publishing or O'Reilly.

What is the difference between Web 2.0 & the normal Web which we are used to?

Wikipedia has a nice write-up on Web 2.0 (see link below).

What's the difference between web 2.0 and web,and between Internet and dark internet ?

It would be best if you gave examples of each.Just short and descriptive answers will do.

What's the difference between web 2.0 and web,and between Internet and dark internet ?
first of all let me explain you the concept of Web 2.0 and later we can proceed to the other parts of discussion.

Web 2.0 doesn't have a very distinct boundary. You can visualize Web 2.0 as a set of principles and practices that tie together a veritable solar system of sites that demonstrate some or all of those principles, at a varying distance from that core. This definition in itself is not really clear in a way how it explains web 2.0.

let me put things easily to you. Imagine a framework, which integrates web services like Orkut, Blogger, Wikipedia, Bit Torrent, Google Adsense, Flickr, del.icio.us, blogs and presented to you on a very rich user interface using latest technologies like Ajax Blueprints etc..,

If we get a little deeper, and understand web 2.0, its a framework which has SLATE capabilities. SLATE means Search, Links, Authoring, Tagging(folksonomy), Emails.

Search and Links features are understandable in their very outset. Authoring Feature may require some clarity here. Authoring enables an individual to put his ideas on net and is open for everyone. Wikipedia is poineer in Authoring websites. Underlying philosophy here is every one can share their knowledge and more importantly any one can erase the traces of misknowledge. check our www.wikipedia.com to understand Authoring features.

In a way what ever I'm doing know is also a authoring feature of Yahoo!!!

Anyway, the next interesting feature is tagging(folksonomy). In conception it is also more like authoring but methodology is different. Tagging involves individuals to 'tag' a specific webpage with a best descriptive word. This would enable the community to search the knowledge in a more effective way. It also has fantastic advantages. check out the websites like del.icio.us ( its not www. del), flickr etc..,

A framework that supports all these features can some how be approximated to be a web 2.0 framework. If put Web 2.0 in one phrase, it is HARNESSING COLLECTIVE INTELLIGENCE.

I think i 'authored' a lot about Web 2.0 , for me web is common short name for world wide web ( WWW)

Coming to Dark Internet,

The term dark internet or dark address refer to any or all of the unreachable network hosts on the Internet.

It should not be confused with deep web or darknet. The first of these refers to web sites that, intentionally or not, are hard to find. This may be either because there are no hypertext links to their content, because you need to be a registered and logged-on user to access it, or because the content is dynamically generated, for example from constantly-changing databases, and so search engines have trouble indexing it. A darknet is a set of network connections using protocols other than HTTP but still on the public Internet, established in a closed and secretive way between trusted parties only, usually for the purposes of peer-to-peer file sharing.

To understand this distinction, remember that

* The World Wide Web, sometimes referred to as "the Web", is an interconnected set of documents and files linked together by hyperlinks

* The Internet or sometimes just "the Net", is an interconnected set of computers and computer networks, linked to each other by copper wires, fiber-optic cables, microwave links etc.

Thus I think I explained you with every thing you asked for.

have good time,

cheers

Reply:They are basically web and internet respectively.
Reply:i don't know about the web 2.0, but i think dark internet refers to the non-mainstream sites, like the ones that don't come up on search engines. they are usually private sites that are either not very often visited by the masses, whose visitors don't go through the usual search engines, temporary sites, etc. and as a result the programs search engines use to find and catalog sites don't pick them up. i don't know how big it is, but its supposed to be pretty large.

hope that helps a little.

Is a 2.0 mega pixel web cam good quantity?

im looking to get a laptop and it comes with a 2.0 mega pixel

webcam is that a good quantity for web cam?

Is a 2.0 mega pixel web cam good quantity?
i think dats amazing for A webcam!!!!!!
Reply:Many of the lower end cameras these days float around 2 mega pixels, so a webcam with the quality of a camera would be amazing. Making videos may be up for questioning, but picture quality will definitely be worth your money.
Reply:2.0 is pretty good for a WEBcam, which is mainly used for video communication using internet messenger. I'd think a higher MP would stall your video communication, if you are not on a high bandwidth. A super high MP camera is more suitable for eg outdoors photo capturing
Reply:not really the higher the number the better if its under 3.0 then not really 2.0 mega pixel is on like 300 by 300 pixles
Reply:Yes because 50$ webcams dont even have 2mega pixels.
Reply:absolutely not.. i have a 12.0 Mega pixel Olympus camera.. try to get somewhere around 8 mega pixels.. 2 MP is atrocious..
Reply:not at all, u need like 8 for a nice clear image, 2 is like the lowest
Reply:Yep it's pretty good, I have a 2.0 megapixel camera cellphone. It takes good and detailed pictures. And for a webcam is very good quality. Good Luck.
Reply:Yeah its good enough.
Reply:yes for a webcam

i have a 1.2 camera i bought for like 10 bucks and its really good
Reply:My digital camera goes from .05 pixels to 8.5 pixels.

2.0 is grainy, but your feed will be smooth.

It's always a trade off. If I take a picture at 8 mega pixels it takes forever to download or share.

4 mega pixels is a good compromise.

That's with my digital camera that I can hook up to the web and use as a web camera. 4 works best for me.

Yahoo!Answers is a good example of a Web2.0 site. It certainly has the community aspect and is heavily reliant on interactive features, mostly implemented through AJAX.

Reply:The concept of "Web 2.0" began with a conference brainstorming session between O'Reilly and MediaLive International. Dale Dougherty, web pioneer and O'Reilly VP, noted that far from having "crashed", the web was more important than ever, with exciting new applications and sites popping up with surprising regularity. What's more, the companies that had survived the collapse seemed to have some things in common. Could it be that the dot-com collapse marked some kind of turning point for the web, such that a call to action such as "Web 2.0" might make sense? We agreed that it did, and so the Web 2.0 Conference was born.

In the year and a half since, the term "Web 2.0" has clearly taken hold, with more than 9.5 million citations in Google. But there's still a huge amount of disagreement about just what Web 2.0 means, with some people decrying it as a meaningless marketing buzzword, and others accepting it as the new conventional wisdom.

This article is an attempt to clarify just what we mean by Web 2.0.

In our initial brainstorming, we formulated our sense of Web 2.0 by example:

Web 1.0 Web 2.0

DoubleClick --%26gt; Google AdSense

Ofoto --%26gt; Flickr

Akamai --%26gt; BitTorrent

mp3.com --%26gt; Napster

Britannica Online --%26gt; Wikipedia

personal websites --%26gt; blogging

evite --%26gt; upcoming.org and EVDB

domain name speculation --%26gt; search engine optimization

page views --%26gt; cost per click

screen scraping --%26gt; web services

publishing --%26gt; participation

content management systems --%26gt; wikis

directories (taxonomy) --%26gt; tagging ("folksonomy")

stickiness --%26gt; syndication

The list went on and on. But what was it that made us identify one application or approach as "Web 1.0" and another as "Web 2.0"? (The question is particularly urgent because the Web 2.0 meme has become so widespread that companies are now pasting it on as a marketing buzzword, with no real understanding of just what it means. The question is particularly difficult because many of those buzzword-addicted startups are definitely not Web 2.0, while some of the applications we identified as Web 2.0, like Napster and BitTorrent, are not even properly web applications!) We began trying to tease out the principles that are demonstrated in one way or another by the success stories of web 1.0 and by the most interesting of the new applications.

2.0 is mostly hype, but there was a shift from the original dot com boom in that web sites are offering users a chance to express themselves, network, and generally create their own content.

It's also that the content has changed with more video and graphics.

What is web 2.0 ?

The term Web 2.0 refers to a second generation of services available on the World Wide Web that lets people collaborate and share information online. In contrast to the first generation, Web 2.0 gives users an experience closer to desktop applications than the traditional static Web pages. Web 2.0 applications often use a combination of techniques devised in the late 1990s, including public web service APIs (dating from 1998), Ajax (1998), and web syndication (1997). They often allow for mass participation (web-based social software). The concept may include blogs and wikis.

O'Reilly Media and MediaLive International popularized the term as the name for a series of web development conferences that started in October 2004. CMP Media, which purchased MediaLive, claims the term as a service mark for live events, reserving exclusive use of the term for its own conferences.

Some members of the development community see Web 2.0 as an overly vague buzzword, incorporating whatever is newly popular on the Web (such as tags and podcasts), without having any fixed meaning.

What does Web 2.0 stand for?

Web 2.0, a phrase coined by O'Reilly Media in 2003[1] and popularized by the first Web 2.0 conference in 2004,[2] refers to a perceived second generation of web-based communities and hosted services — such as social-networking sites, wikis and folksonomies — which facilitate collaboration and sharing between users. O'Reilly Media titled a series of conferences around the phrase, and it has since become widely adopted .

Although the term suggests a new version of the World Wide Web, it does not refer to an update to Web technical specifications, but to changes in the ways systems developers have used the web platform. According to Tim O'Reilly, "Web 2.0 is the business revolution in the computer industry caused by the move to the internet as platform, and an attempt to understand the rules for success on that new platform."

What does Web 2.0 stand for?
The real answer is that Web 2.0 is all about portals site and CMS mixed together to build online communities. In the past Web 1.0 era, which was about 10 years ago till now websites were more like static website (online broshure sites) where each website was hand coded or database driven with static coded sites as datafiles. Today, with better web development languages and business sense technology web designers are creating portal or community building sites to become money making website by finding creative applications to make websites more dynamically useful instead of static. So much cool online applications is now appearing using Web 2.0 creative model. YouTube was born with that model in mind about 3 years it becomes a Billion dollar company no mortar at all. I can wait to see what businesses Web 3.D brings to the future Internet.

Reply:its merely a reference to an adapted set of rules and codes in the web that allows for greater user interaction, media embedding, and appearance adjustments. its generally talking about the web as we know it today instead of the text-based, less multimedia-intensive web of the 90's.
Reply:In alluding to the version-numbers that commonly designate software upgrades, the phrase "Web 2.0" may hint at an improved form of the World Wide Web. Advocates of the concept suggest that technologies such as weblogs, social bookmarking, wikis, podcasts, RSS feeds (and other forms of many-to-many publishing), social software, Web APIs, Web standards and online Web services imply a significant change in web usage. As used by its supporters, the phrase "Web 2.0" can also refer to one or more of the following:

the transition of web sites from isolated information silos to sources of content and functionality, thus becoming computing platforms serving web applications to end-users;

a social phenomenon embracing an approach to generating and distributing Web content itself, characterized by open communication, decentralization of authority, freedom to share and re-use, and "the market as a conversation";

enhanced organization and categorization of content, emphasizing deep linking;

a rise in the economic value of the Web, possibly surpassing the impact of the dot-com boom of the late 1990s.

key principles of Web 2.0 applications:

--------------------------------------...

the web as a platform;

data as the driving force;

network effects created by an architecture of participation;

innovation in assembly of systems and sites composed by pulling together features from distributed, independent developers (a kind of "open source" development);

lightweight business models enabled by content and service syndication;

the end of the software adoption cycle ("the perpetual beta");

software above the level of a single device, leveraging the power of The Long Tail;

ease of picking-up by early adopters.

A Web 2.0 website may typically feature a number of the following techniques:

-------------------------------------

Rich Internet application techniques, optionally Ajax-based

CSS

Semantically valid XHTML markup and the use of Microformats

Syndication and aggregation of data in RSS/Atom

Clean and meaningful URLs

Extensive use of folksonomies (in the form of tags or tagclouds, for example)

Use of wiki software either completely or partially (where partial use may grow to become the complete platform for the site)

Use of Open source software either completely or partially, such as the LAMP solution stack

XACML over SOAP for access control between organisations and domains

Weblog publishing

Mashups

REST or XML Webservice APIs

Innovations associated with "Web 2.0"

----------------------

1.Web-based applications and desktops

2.Rich Internet applications

3.Server-side software

4.Client-side software

5.XML and RSS

6. Specialized protocols

Specialized protocols such as FOAF and XFN (both for social networking) extend the functionality of sites or permit end-users to interact without centralized web-sites.

7.Web protocols

Web communication protocols support the Web 2.0 infrastructure. Major protocols include REST and SOAP.

REST (Representational State Transfer) indicates a way to access and manipulate data on a server using the HTTP verbs GET, POST, PUT, and DELETE

SOAP involves POSTing XML messages and requests to a server that may contain quite complex, but pre-defined, instructions for the server to follow

What is web 2.0?

The concept of "Web 2.0" began with a conference brainstorming session between O'Reilly and MediaLive International. Dale Dougherty, web pioneer and O'Reilly VP, noted that far from having "crashed", the web was more important than ever, with exciting new applications and sites popping up with surprising regularity. What's more, the companies that had survived the collapse seemed to have some things in common. It was almost as though the dot-com collapse marked some kind of turning point for the web.

Like many important concepts, Web 2.0 doesn't have a hard boundary, but rather, a gravitational core. It is defined by a number of key principles including:

1. The Web as a Platform

2. Harnassing Collective Intelligence

3. Data Over Processing Power

4. Software That is Delivered as a Service, Not As a Product.

5. Lightweight Programming (RSS, AJAX)

6. Software Above the Level of a Single Device

7. Rich User Experiences

Taken a step further, it meant a transformation...

What is web 2.0?
Web 2.0 generally refers to a second generation of services available on the World Wide Web that let people collaborate, and share information online. In contrast to the first generation, Web 2.0 gives users an experience closer to desktop applications than the traditional static Web pages. The term was popularized by O'Reilly Media and MediaLive International as the name for a series of web development conferences that started in October 2004. Web 2.0 applications often use a combination of techniques devised in the late 1990s, including public web service APIs (dating from 1998), Ajax (1998), and web syndication (1997). They often allow for mass publishing (web-based social software). The term may include blogs and wikis. To some extent Web 2.0 is a buzzword, incorporating whatever is newly popular on the Web (such as tags and podcasts), and its meaning is still in flux.

What is web 2.0?
web 2.0, is the new 'generation' of the web. It is mainly about developping rich web applications such as flickr, gmail... keeping up with the standards in web design. In a few years you might also see online applications replacing desktop applications...

What is Web 2.0?

Web 2.0 is, ultimately, the changeover and transformation of the web as we know it into a computing platform that will house software similar to what we have on our own personal computers, so that we can access our programs and files from anywhere in the world via the internet and not be constrained or limited to the information on our computers. This will facilitate file and application sharing and development as well as the ability to cross polinate initatives with peers/colleagues all over the world.

What is Web 2.0?
Web 2.0 is just a buzzword. Essentially, it's a natural evolution of web based software. It involves the use of more interactive websites where, for example, you can drag-and-drop and bring up context-sensitive menus. All this, as the second answerer said, results in the development of websites which are more like regular programmes. Most 'Web 2.0' defined sites use a popular technique known as Ajax. I've linked the Wikipedia article for this and Web 2.0 below.
Reply:Yet another definition is that Web 2.0 is the "live Web". New companies like MySpace, YouTube, Dabble, and Flickr among many other new Silicon Valley startups, are usually mentioned when reading about Web 2.0
Reply:As far as I know, Web 2.0 is a new turnover of internet.

We can relate it to the mobile generations, as now third generation mobiles and telecommunication technology is being introduced.

An example of Web 2.0 is the AJAX technology.

Probably Gmail uses the same technology.
Reply:We're all probably running on Web 1.0, which runs on a slower set of algorithms and things than Web 2.0. Web 2.0 requires extremely fast computers; usually only labs and universities have computers that can run Web 2.0. (SLAC is one of them http://www.slac.stanford.edu/ )

What is Web 2.0?

The next generation of the internet. Faster, more intuitive, etc.

What is Web 2.0?
In these days many people speaking about Web 2.0 Like many important concepts, Web 2.0 doesn\'t have a hard boundary, but rather, a gravitational core. You can visualize Web 2.0 as a set of principles and practices that tie together a veritable solar system of sites that demonstrate some or all of those principles, at a varying distance from that core.

In terms of building applications for Web 2.0, I believe the key underlying theme is the separation of data and user interface through open data formats, RSS/Atom feeds, (in fact the semi structured data in XML format) and programming interfaces made publicly available. This enables not only a revolution in machine to machine communication, as all the excitement about web services has been about, but also human to machine as we\'re seeing with remixing applications and new user interfaces on data. It\'s also no accident that scripting languages such as PERL, PYTHON, PHP, and now Ruby, play such a large role at web 2.0 companies. Dynamic languages (often called scripting languages and looked down on by the software engineers of the era of software artifacts) are the tool of choice for system and network administrators, as well as application developers building dynamic systems that require constant change. And Ajax and Flash we have the outstand role for doing this.

But I consider that providing easily access the Web services is the real power of the Web 2.0 era.

In Web 1.0, a small number of writers created Web pages for a large number of readers. Anyone can build an interface to content on any domain if the developers there provide a Web services API. This is a great power no?

Absolutely :-) Think about it: it's a single page application, relying on Javascript to communicate with the server AND it lets you build your page the way you want it. The only thing it doesn't let you do (yet) is to link with other users, but otherwise it's pretty much Web 2.0.

Web 2.0, a phrase coined by O'Reilly Media in 2003[1] and popularized by the first Web 2.0 conference in 2004[2] , refers to a perceived second generation of web-based communities and hosted services — such as social-networking sites, wikis and folksonomies — which facilitate collaboration and sharing between users. O'Reilly Media titled a series of conferences around the phrase, and it has since become widely adopted.

Although the term suggests a new version of the World Wide Web, it does not refer to an update to Web technical specifications, but to changes in the ways software developers and end-users use the web as a platform. According to Tim O'Reilly, "Web 2.0 is the business revolution in the computer industry caused by the move to the internet as platform, and an attempt to understand the rules for success on that new platform."

What is web 2.0?
Web 2.0, a phrase coined by O'Reilly Media in 2004, refers to a perceived second generation of web-based services—such as social networking sites, wikis, communication tools, and folksonomies—that emphasize online collaboration and sharing among users. O'Reilly Media, in collaboration with MediaLive International, used the phrase as a title for a series of conferences, and since 2004 some developers and marketers have adopted the catch-phrase. Its exact meaning remains open to debate, and some technology experts, notably Tim Berners-Lee, have questioned whether the term has meaning.

Tim O'Reilly provided a compact definition of Web 2.0 in 2006:

"Web 2.0 is the business revolution in the computer industry caused by the move to the internet as platform, and an attempt to understand the rules for success on that new platform. Chief among those rules is this: Build applications that harness network effects to get better the more people use them."

The bursting of the dot-com bubble in the fall of 2001 marked a turning point for the web. Many people concluded that the web was overhyped, when in fact bubbles and consequent shakeouts appear to be a common feature of all technological revolutions. Shakeouts typically mark the point at which an ascendant technology is ready to take its place at center stage. The pretenders are given the bum's rush, the real success stories show their strength, and there begins to be an understanding of what separates one from the other.

The concept of "Web 2.0" began with a conference brainstorming session between O'Reilly and MediaLive International. Dale Dougherty, web pioneer and O'Reilly VP, noted that far from having "crashed", the web was more important than ever, with exciting new applications and sites popping up with surprising regularity. What's more, the companies that had survived the collapse seemed to have some things in common. Could it be that the dot-com collapse marked some kind of turning point for the web, such that a call to action such as "Web 2.0" might make sense? We agreed that it did, and so the Web 2.0 Conference was born.

In the year and a half since, the term "Web 2.0" has clearly taken hold, with more than 9.5 million citations in Google. But there's still a huge amount of disagreement about just what Web 2.0 means, with some people decrying it as a meaningless marketing buzzword, and others accepting it as the new conventional wisdom.

This article is an attempt to clarify just what we mean by Web 2.0.

In our initial brainstorming, we formulated our sense of Web 2.0 by example:

Web 1.0 Web 2.0

DoubleClick --%26gt; Google AdSense

Ofoto --%26gt; Flickr

Akamai --%26gt; BitTorrent

(taxonomy) --%26gt; tagging ("folksonomy")

stickiness --%26gt; syndication

The list went on and on. But what was it that made us identify one application or approach as "Web 1.0" and another as "Web 2.0"? (The question is particularly urgent because the Web 2.0 meme has become so widespread that companies are now pasting it on as a marketing buzzword, with no real understanding of just what it means. The question is particularly difficult because many of those buzzword-addicted startups are definitely not Web 2.0, while some of the applications we identified as Web 2.0, like Napster and BitTorrent, are not even properly web applications!) We began trying to tease out the principles that are demonstrated in one way or another by the success stories of web 1.0 and by the most interesting of the new applications.

Reply:xaero is right, but this is beyond the scope of this: it is more a marketing plan... and only two people know about it!

Web 1.0 (I call it that way because of "Web 2.0"!) was based on STATIC designs, usually in HTML and javascripts.

In 2003, Yahoo and Google introduced INTERACTIVITY, through AJAX. That is what started "Web 2.0".

The difference?

Instead of having a new page downloaded each time you make a click, like in Web 1.0, each click you make sends a small message to the server, the server replies, and the browser updates PART of the screen (your log-in in Yahoo is a typical example). No more screen refresh, more pleasant surfing, more interactive.

The result is a much more complex coding, as what is displayed is never the same for different users, as a lot of work is done "behind the scenes".

As a result, a Web 1.0 design that can be written as 20 A4 pages of static code, and can be edited with any WYSIWYG editor by any amateur, a Web 2.0 design for the SAME site but providing interactivity will cost you 100+ pages of code... at least!

And, no, it has nothing to do with "graphics". You can have a beautiful Web 1.0 design with flash animations that will be STILL Web 1.0.

What is web 2.0?
Actually, the web site designers follow the general formats for websites. These are very useful for maintaining standards of our own websites. For that there are three formats available now. One of them is "web 2.0". The latest format is "Web 3.0". These format contains the rules and regulations to be applied in the websites. Otherwise it will not be treated as these format. That's it.

What does (Web 2.0) mean?

Web 2.0 is a term often applied to a perceived ongoing transition of the World Wide Web from a collection of websites to a full-fledged computing platform serving web applications to end users. Ultimately Web 2.0 services are expected to replace desktop computing applications for many purposes.

What does (Web 2.0) mean?
Web 2.0 is just a term for newer and more interactive web applications. Check out G-mail, google office, or the new yahoo mail, these are examples of Web 2.0 apps.

What is my web 2.0?

can i get an answer to this question in Layman's term? What in the world does this do and what is it for?

What is my web 2.0?
Web 2.0 is a buzzword much like cyberspace, or e-(insert_thing).

Though it's about a few actual new technologies, like Ajax scripting and things like that, it's basically a different way of looking at the internet. Now people are saying that the future of the internet is community and intercommunication, social networking, pretty much just creating a base, and having the users do what they want to with it.

These are mostly websites like flickr.com, digg.com, del.icio.us, and myspace.com

It's a really broad concept that nobody really knows what it means, but we still use it anyway to refer to the future of the Web.

Why we Use web 2.0?

We don't. We use HTTP 1.1

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/HTTP

Why we Use web 2.0?
In studying and/or promoting web-technology, the phrase Web 2.0 can refer to a trend in web design and development — a perceived second generation of web-based communities and hosted services (such as social-networking sites, wikis, blogs, and folksonomies) which aim to facilitate creativity, collaboration, and sharing between users. The term gained currency following the first O'Reilly Media Web 2.0 conference in 2004. Although the term suggests a new version of the World Wide Web, it does not refer to an update to any technical specifications, but to changes in the ways software developers and end-users use webs. According to Tim O'Reilly:

"Web 2.0 is the business revolution in the computer industry caused by the move to the Internet as platform, and an attempt to understand the rules for success on that new platform."

Some technology experts, notably Tim Berners-Lee, have questioned whether one can use the term in a meaningful way, since many of the technology components of "Web 2.0" have existed since the early days of the Web.

An IBM social-networking analyst, Dario de Judicibus, has proposed a different definition which focuses more on social interactions and on architectural implementation:

"Web 2.0 is a knowledge-oriented environment where human interactions generate content that is published, managed and used through network applications in a service-oriented architecture."

In alluding to the version-numbers that commonly designate software upgrades, the phrase "Web 2.0" hints at an improved form of the World Wide Web. Technologies such as weblogs (blogs), social bookmarking, wikis, podcasts, RSS feeds (and other forms of many-to-many publishing), social software, and web application programming interfaces (APIs) provide enhancements over read-only websites. Stephen Fry, who writes a column about technology in the British Guardian newspaper, describes Web 2.0 as:

"...an idea in people's heads rather than a reality. It’s actually an idea that the reciprocity between the user and the provider is what's emphasized. In other words, genuine interactivity, if you like, simply because people can upload as well as download".

The idea of "Web 2.0" can also relate to a transition of some websites from isolated information silos to interlinked computing platforms that function like locally-available software in the perception of the user. Web 2.0 also includes a social element where users generate and distribute content, often with freedom to share and re-use. This can allegedly result in a rise in the economic value of the web as users can do more online.

Web 2.0 websites allow users to do more than just retrieve information. They can build on the interactive facilities of "Web 1.0" to provide "Network as platform" computing, allowing users to run software-applications entirely through a browser. Users can own the data on a Web 2.0 site and exercise control over that data. These sites may have an "Architecture of participation" that encourages users to add value to the application as they use it. This stands in contrast to very old traditional websites, the sort which limited visitors to viewing and whose content only the site's owner could modify. Web 2.0 sites often feature a rich, user-friendly interface based on Ajax, Flex or similar rich media. The sites may also have social-networking aspects.

The concept of Web-as-participation-platform captures many of these characteristics. Bart Decrem, a founder and former CEO of Flock, calls Web 2.0 the "participatory Web" and regards the Web-as-information-source as Web 1.0.

The impossibility of excluding group-members who don’t contribute to the provision of goods from sharing profits gives rise to the possibility that rational members will prefer to withhold their contribution of effort and free-ride on the contribution of others.

--------------------------------------...

Ajax, shorthand for Asynchronous JavaScript and XML, is a web development technique for creating interactive web applications. The intent is to make web pages feel more responsive by exchanging small amounts of data with the server behind the scenes, so that the entire web page does not have to be reloaded each time the user makes a change. This is meant to increase the web page's interactivity, speed, and usability.

This is controversial, and it depends who you ask. Bill Gates actually is quoted as saying that Web 2.0 doesn't exist.

It's generally seen as being new large web sites such as YouTube, MySpace and Blogs - in other words, web sites which are heavily driven by user-supplied content. Web 2.0 also refers somewhat to many new scripting languages being used to power these new sites. Programming buzz words like "mash-up" and "Ajax" also surround the Web 2.0 phenomenon.

I think Bill Gates is right - a few new scripting languages and a couple new websites doesn't equal anything revolutionary.

What is web 2.0?

Web 2.0 represents the new direction of the Web is moving towards a new direction. From simply being an information resource, the Internet is becoming a user-centric platform focused on the needs of users.

The Web is becoming deeply collaborative, allowing people to work simultaneously on the same tasks at the same time (example is project collaboration application such as BaseCamp). Many of the new success stories are riding on the powers of social networking (think the very popular MySpace.com); while others rely on user-driven content to create useful resources (great example is Wikipedia). The New Web has turned instant messaging into a crude application with the more powerful instant-voice-messaging and instant-video-messaging applications (Skype is a perfect example). It also allows for getting content here and there and mixing-and-matching them into unique content (Technorati puts together blogs and feeds in one easy to search site).

Web 2.0 is a buzzword which I guess means any novel web technologies, e.g. AJAX, site tagging.... See http://www.shadows.com

What is Web 2.0's effect on the audience?

Sorry, another question that I need help with...

Thanks :D

What is Web 2.0's effect on the audience?
Web 2.0 is only about renaming and making “old thing” easier, not about “brand new thing!”.

Web 2.0 is about reading. Not everyone has blog, most people just read — see number of active and total accounts on, from LiveJournal.

Web 2.0 is about _company based_ communities. No matter how it’s called, most sites that provide Web 2.0 services are companies. Yes, they allow communities to form, but so did Yahoo when Blogging was not popular.{Blogs are homepages. Just as some people were regularly posting new pages via Frontpage (scream of terror), now some people regularly update their homepage via online form. Called “Blog”. Means “Homepage”. (see MySpace)}

Web 2.0 RSS is quickly goes the way of Portals. RSS feeds are aggregated. Special tools invented to group them and read in one place.

Web 2.0 Relies on web applications (mostly), which are happily used by “Web 1.0″ sites.

Web 1.0 had “keywords”, Web 2.0 calls it “tags”

Web 1.0 Aggregators did the job of Web 2.0 tool providers. Same idea, shifted focus (and if you want to include something from web 2.0 into your site/product you still need an adapter, allthough standard is nice to have)

Both web 1.0 and 2.0 now have benefit of cheaper hardware, so bandwidth costs become sizeable.

I see Web 2.0 as just improving to the next level from Web 1.0 and may be focusing to get more information and make money from us really....
Reply:Web 2.0 is one of those popular words / concepts that doesn't really have a conclusive definition.

I define the change known as Web 2.0 as a move from the browser (person) being passive to interactive. People can add content, redesign and add functionality to sites they don't control, share ideas with less barriers than ever.

In short, the power has passed from exclusively the web site, to being shared... to even being completely controlled by the user.

Examples of this:

Wikipedia - users write the content, not the site.

Greasemonkey %26amp; Stylish - users can redesign sites without the permission of the site owners. While the changes are limited to the user's computer, the changes can be shared!

Open Source - this is a type of software that has the code available to all. Anyone can change the code, and anyone can share their changes.

What is Web 2.0?

A buzzword used to describe the evolution of the World Wide Web from days gone past, to the current state of affairs.

Generally, it's meaningless drivel.

What is Web 2.0?
The Web 2.0 it's about the evolution of the internet because now the users can be the creators of the information... that's why the blogs became so popular. Pages like Flickr, Microsoft Live or Yahoo! My Web are part of this evolution....

What is web 2.0?

I have provided a long list of pages that both answer that question and provide very good working examples, so you can try it out for yourself. There is a good chance you have already used one or two such sites already.

There are several qualities that Web 2.0 status seems to be conferred by. Not all are required by every Web 2.0 site/service/application. But each one should support at least a couple of them.

1. social tagging - so groups of related things entered by different people will be discovered as related

2. RSS feeds - so people can track what is going on at the site with content they are associated with or interested in

3. XMLHttpRequest - a Javascript object used in web pages to allow XML data from a site to be manipulated on the fly, without going back to the web site for each little click/change a user makes while navigaging

4. XML technologies - XML data from/in site, XSLT, etc. - so data can be "mashed up" and recombined, re-sorted, re-filtered, etc. - easily and perhaps on fly

5. connectable with other sites - via RSS feeds and published XML data formats

6. DHTML - typically, some type of HTML+Javascript is going on

7. AJAX - asynchronous XML and Javascript, basically, what Google Maps does; you click and it responds instantly - clearly, without going back to the web server very often - and when it does, it really doesn't make you wait - it requests the info and uses it when it arrives but does not lock up the user interface while it is waiting

Reply:Web 2.0 is the general idea that the internet is becoming more user-centric and friendly. Services are being provided instead of just products. These services are open to customization and open to more people.

Not a new internet, per se, but instead an abstract term which encompasses new services like VoIP, etc.

What is Web 2.0?

"Web 2.0" is a buzz phrase that refers to the World Wide Web after the dot-com bubble.

What is Web 2.0?
There is no specific definition for web2.0.

it is basically a new way of "living " and using the Internet.

It is a new working culture, people collaborating through concurrent work and sharing software.

Before this, individual can only download information from the net. Due to the implementation of AJAX technology and broadband services; individual can now uploading stuff to the net. With this extra capability, sharing knowledge and information through the net become possible. In fact, the yahoo! Answer platform we are sharing now is a good example for web2.0.
Reply:The term Web 2.0 refers to a second generation of services available on the World Wide Web that lets people collaborate and share information online. In contrast to the first generation, Web 2.0 gives users an experience closer to desktop applications than the traditional static Web pages. Web 2.0 applications often use a combination of techniques devised in the late 1990s, including public web service APIs (dating from 1998), Ajax (1998), and web syndication (1997). They often allow for mass publishing (web-based social software). The concept may include blogs and wikis.

The term was popularized by O'Reilly Media and MediaLive International as the name for a series of web development conferences that started in October 2004. CMP Media, which purchased MediaLive, claims the term as a service mark for live events, reserving exclusive use of the term for its own conferences.

Some members of the development community see Web 2.0 as an overly vague buzzword, incorporating whatever is newly popular on the Web (such as tags and podcasts), without having any fixed meaning.

What is Web 2.0?

The best explanation of web 2.0 can be found at http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Web_2

That explains it better than I (and I'm sure anyone else) could.

Long story short though I suppose, its basically taking applications, having them be web based and more interactive than they used to, easier to use, friendlier. Web 2.0 examples are flickr, smugmug, del.icio.us.

What is "web 2.0"?

A common question.

the Register attempted to find an answer by asking their readers. Here's a sampling of their findings:

- Web 2.0 is "These marvellous new clothes that only the emergent can see."

- "Web 2.0 is made of stardust; it is golden; it'll help us get back to the garden"

For a slightly less cynical answer, check the second source, from oreillynet.com.

To grossly summarize it, O'reilly defines it as a platform, harnessing collective intelligence, data-centric, free from traditional release cycles, implemented through lightweight programming models, and offering richer user experiences.

Interestingly, every one you'll ask will have a slightly different definition of what "web 2.0" is, yet the same people will usually all agree on whether a site is part of the "web 2.0" trend or not.

That's probably a sign that we need to wait for the dust to settle before attempt to fully describe something that is still in the process of defining itself.

Nah, no copy-pasting here. Where I quoted something, I put it inside double quotes.

Where I summarized something, I said so explicitely.

An easy way to detect copy-pasting is to enter an excerpt in a search engine and see if you get any matches. Report It
