Web 2.0



Is it another version of Internet ?? No.. It is not.. The term web 2.0 has got nothing to do with a product version or some enhancements to the current internet. It signifies the change in approach to creating websites. In the case of Technology wise there is something different in Web 1.0 and Web 2.0.

In the case of Web 2.0 it provides a better User Experience . That means it focused on Participation, Collaboration and Networking. The users can achieve something collaboratively. The users can network with other users and also participate in an activity. ie Web 2.0 is both Read and Write enabled web., but Web 1.0 is read only web

Consider the example of Blogs. You can create your own space in internet and write any thing that you want. Also you can upload files, pictures etc.. And also the readers interact with you through with comments. But in the case of Web 1.0 there is no way that a user can create a such things like this. Another good example is Wikipedia, worlds largest collaborative project and some google products like google map, Youtube etc. Wikipedia provides you a Wiki page and allows you to create something collaboratively.

Are you still in old web 1.0 ?? Come on .. Start a blog or participate a social network form.. and be a part of Web 2.0..
