What is Web 2.0?

• A place to share documents?
• A place to share photographs?

• A place to keep track of websites?
• A way to find online content?
• Options for travel assistance?
• A place for professional development?

• All of the above?

What is Web 2.0?

• The idea is that Web 1.0 was a creation of Web
  pages that provided information to readers. Web
  2.0 takes that information and interacts with the
  reader to allow the reader to find the
  information he or she wants in the format that is
  most useful to them. --Kyrnin

What is Web 2.0?

• it's more than just getting content on-line.
  With Web 2.0 type sites, it is possible to
  combine data from various sources, even sources
  that you don't own control or even exist, and
  turn that into data that people can use. For
  example, an idea for a Web 2.0 site might be to
  combine a Flickr tagged gallery of restaurants
  with actual reviews that people have written
  about those restaurants and a connection to
  Google Maps to find the restaurants in your area.
  The Web site which put this up might not have any
  of the data for the reviews, none of the photos
  from Flickr, and only an interface to allow
  people to pinpoint where they are or where they
  are going and either read reviews of local
  restaurants or even post a blogged review and
  attach it to those already tagged.

24
What is a Blog?

• A frequent, chronological publication of personal
  thoughts and Web links.
• A blog is often a mixture of what is happening in
  a person's life and what is happening on the Web,
  a kind of hybrid diary/guide site, although there
  are as many unique types of blogs as there are
  people.

What is a Wiki?

  users to add and edit content collectively.

  effects on Wiki usage. Allowing everyday users to
  create and edit any page in a Web site is
  exciting in that it encourages democratic use of
  the Web and promotes content composition by
  nontechnical users.

26
What is the difference?

• A blog is an online journal that allows the owner
  to post entries that are generally displayed in
  reverse chronological order. Many blogs allow
  readers to comment on these posts. The creator of
  the blog controls the usage by readers.
• A wiki is a type of website that allows multiple
  users to collaboratively create and edit pages.
  ANYONE can change ANYTHING.
