web 2.0

Web 2.0 summarises the suggestion of the creation of interconnectivity and interactivity on the web which means the advancement of the internet and web design in the fields of creativity and communictions. This concept sparked off the explosion of soical networking sites (Myspace, Facebook), video sharing sites (Youtube) and even blogs. This suggests that this advancement from Web 1.0. Terry Flew has described this shift as a 'move from personal websites to blogs and blog site aggregation, from publishing to participation, from web content as the outcome of large up-front investment to an ongoing and interactive process, and from content management systems to links besed on tagging'. Flew explains here that the phenomenon of Web 2.0 describes the move from inactivity to active users of the web.

  2. This blog needs urgent attention Jason! We are now in week 3 and there is only one post here! You should be posting at least 3 times per week (as well as commenting on others') - you really must get this thing on track.

    As to the content, your description is fine, but some response too is needed - what are the implications of any of these pehnomena?

  3. web 3.0 would include interation such as a web identity meaning, instead of signing up to different sites with different usernames and passwords, the web could remember you as you go to different site. This shows that rather than signing in to sites you would be signing in to the internet as a whole. Other forms are already starting to appear such as mobile phone internet access as using the internet from wherever you are in the world is as interactive as it gets.

  4. The phenomena of web 2.0 impies that the net has become the main source of information and communication. The net has taken the world by storm and the importance of it is crucial in the majority of peoples lives. This leads to the question of its progression, as although it is a progression technologically, it could suggest that socially we are being regressed by it as we have become so heavily reliant on it and if it was some how taken away we would be less capable than people of previous generations.
