There is no clear definition on Web 2.0 really is, some believe that there is a version 2 of the Internet, which the expression could lead you to believe. But I know, and if you dont right now you will after reading this post, that there is not a version 1 or version 2 of the Internet. Web 2.0 is simply an evolution on the net that has been growing gradual over time.
Actually I do not like the term web2.0, as it is misleading. But I have to use it, so you know what I am talking about. As I see it, Web2.0 covers most of the web pages that have evolved from primarily being one-way communication to a two way communication style. It involves the reader / user in some way, either by making comments, chatting, uploading files or videos. But user interaction is nothing new. Take discussion forums for example, they are by definition, pure Web 2.0 and they have been around for ages
When we investigate this term, we have to talk about social networks. Social networks are built around a concept where it is the users who produce the Web content.
If we go a little deeper syndication of content as RSS feeds and YouTube videos could go under that term.
So as you can see, Web 2.0 is not a new internet type, it merely covers the concept of user interaction.
Here is a list of some of the most popular Web 2.0 sites.
YouTube [http://www.youtube.com] – Where you can upload movies, find howto movies on anything and connect with friends.
Squidoo [http://www.squidoo.com] – A blogging society, where you can create your own blog for free, connect with likeminded people and even monetize very easily.
Twitter [http://www.twitter.com] – A real-time messenger system, that lets you connect with thousands of people that share your interests and chat instantly.
FaceBook [http://www.facebook.com] – Like Twitter, this application lets you connect with friends, update status rea- time, but you can also upload and share pictures, homepages and much more.
