What is the Web 2.0

[flintb]

What exactly is the Web 2.0?

[althalus]

Define: Web 2.0 (http://www.google.se/search?hl=sv&client=firefox-a&channel=s&rls=org.mozilla:sv-SE:official&hs=onm&defl=en&q=define:Web+2.0&sa=X&oi=glossary_definition&ct=title) or Wiki (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Web_2.0). :-]

Edit: Or take a look at this post by Jason (http://www.htmlforums.com/web-20-websites-technology-discussion/t-why-is-that-website-web-20-104379.html), posted just moments ago, for a nice explenation. :-]

web 2.0 is about user provided content and interaction - but you don't necessarily need it to get big traffic

The function of a web 2.0 website is not necessarily to send traffic to your website. This just one type of model for a web 2.0 website, and many others are simply based on user contributions and not designed to send traffic to the websites of the contributors.

Web 2.0 is a perceived or proposed second generation of the web. This is were the web has evolved and improved over time and now offers better and more up to date services like blogs, social networking sites etc.

I think it's just a name for a kind of idea for a certain service. This idea is that the user is the center of the service and everything is based around this, instead of the web 1.0 'push it to the user' idea.

[AnthonyDamasco]

most noobs think that web 2.0 is just using reflections and ajax lightboxes, lol

[<h1>]

web2.0 has been around for quite some time, kinda strange that it got hyped when ajax came outa the closet

Well, Ajax was an enabling technology for web2.0 - it allowd for a quicker and easier and smoother user experience when uploading information to a website.


if you think about services like Twitter or Facebook - you can update your status, and the Ajax methods used to send the update will only cause one small part of the page to reload with your new status - as just one example

note: the Ajax bit isn't the web2.0 - the personal status updates is (and could have been done without Ajax, but then whole pages would have to be reloaded :P )

[Doug.Mellon]

Its pretty much focused around the usability and interaction between the site, other sites, and its viewers. Just look around the web these days you are constantly running into those little "del.icio.us" or "digg" bars allowing all the things people do online to flow better with more usability and letting people do what they want when they want while at the same time letting them see what else is going and what other people in other places are doing. Its like a kick ass study hall when you were in high school... your with your friends you can talk to them while you get your work done, and everything is just working out how you want because the teacher is taking care of the dirty work while at the same time you are doing the things you understand. (aka as you fill out a form built in an Ajax application the app is doing all the dirty work with processing your input as you fill out the form. it makes your life easier so you dont have to sit there and wait for everything to load all at once.)

Jeffrey Zeldman has been trying to help people see the concept for a hell of a long time.. just people are starting to get a bigger grasp of it thanks to Ajax as-well as other applications.

OLAYYYY OLAY OLAY OOOOLAYYY

* The content: the substance, and information on the site should be relevant to the site and should target the area of the public that the website is concerned with.
* The usability: the site should be user-friendly, with the interface and navigation simple and reliable.
* The appearance: the graphics and text should include a single style that flows throughout, to show consistency. The style should be professional, appealing and relevant.
* The visibility: the site must also be easy to find via most, if not all, major search engines and advertisement media.

Web 2.0 is not a webpage. It is a technology used to create web pages. It is a very interesting technology.

I always thought it was more to do with the way users interacted with, and used the medium.

It's true that we're lucky to be watching the web evolve like this, especially with a technology that encompasses so many aspects of our lives including, education, entertainment, social interaction, i think the list goes on. :)

[Horus_Kol]

well - web 3.0 (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Web_3.0) is a completely different kettle of fish to web 2.0 - and in much the same way that web 2.0 wasn't a replacement for web 1.0, web 3.0 is simply extended ideas on top of web 2.0

[denis]

web 3.0 ?
i don't know much, but I thought web 2.0 (semantic web) was an idea on web using ontologies and other technologies to describe the information and its context and making relation among them. i heard this so called semantic web still haven't been used successfully by anyone, but are used on specific application domain where knowledge and its relation doesn't conflict.
so what is web 2.0 ? now i am confused ?

Web2.0 is a new generation of web based communities and hosted service such as social networking site like wikis, blog. It is the business revolution in the computer technology industry and an attempt to understand the rules for success on that new platform

Web 2.0 - 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. It refers to a supposed second-generation of Internet-based services—such as social networking sites, wikis, communication tools, and folksonomies—that emphasize online collaboration and sharing among users.

You obviously put a lot of work into that post and its very interesting to see the thought process that you went through to come up with those conclusion. Thanks for sharing your deep thoughts. I must admit that I think you nailed it on this one.

Hi,
Web 2.0 does not refer to any specific change in the technology of the Internet, but rather the behavior of how people use the Internet.
Thanks.

Have a look at this one, I find that it explains the basics: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NLlGopyXT_g

Thanks for the info about web2.0. I found this helpful in my profession since I am a corporate funding manager and I help private companies to investigate the qualities of a reverse merger with a corporate shell and partake of all the benefits available to public companies.

web - webpage, 2.0 - well, sort of like second generation.

so if you are asking what is web 2.0? then the answer is that it's a term used to call second level generation web pages designed dynamically with improved user interaction such as squidoo, hubpages, etc..

[nazar20]
