Web 2.0

Tim Berners-Lee, the inventor of the World Wide Web, describes Web 2.0 as the idea of the Web being an interactive space where people can collaborate. An example is provided of using the Diigo tool to annotate and bookmark a news article, then blog about it by converting highlights to quotes and including a link. Key characteristics of Web 2.0 include users owning and controlling their own data, and applications that encourage participation and value-adding by users through rich interactive interfaces. However, some criticize that Web 2.0 lacks clear standards and definitions, and that many aspects like user reviews, syndication, and older technologies predate the term Web 2.0.

Web 2.0 Ankit Saxena
Tim Berner Lees thoughts Tim Berner Lee Inventor of the Internet says Web 2.0 is nothing more than a jargon The idea of the Web as interaction between people is really what the Web is. That was what it was designed to be - as a collaborative space where people can intreract.

An example of Web 2.0 I used diigo this morning to annotate a newspaper article about students repeating grades in school. It was pretty neat. I highlighted key parts of the text with the highlighter tool, and bookmarked it. I selected some text in the article and had diigo search for that text on google. When I was done, I blogged it over at Inquiry, using diigos blogging tool, which converted all my highlighted text to blockquotes, and included a link to the article for me. I also like, that if I wanted to, I could have posted it to more than one blog simultaneously. I find it pretty easy to use and I will definitely attempt to try and introduce my students to this tool, when my seniors do their research papers.
Characteristics of Web 2.0 "Network as platform" delivering (and allowing users to use) applications entirely through a web-browser Users owning the data on the site and exercising control over that data An architecture of participation and democracy that encourages users to add value to the application as they use it A rich, interactive, user-friendly interface based on Ajax Some social-networking aspects
The websites have become so internally complex that new Internet users cannot create analogous websites, but remain mere users of web services provided by specialist professional experts. Web-based applications and desktops Characteristics of Web 2.0(contd)
Technology Overview Server-software Content-syndication Messaging-protocols Standards-based browsers with plugins and extensions Various client-applications
Criticism Lack of standards blurred definition Not that new - Amazon.com has allowed users to write reviews and consumer guides since its inception - Wiki and RSS has been there since a decade
A second bubble Web 2.0 companies without a business model AJAX browsers with JavaScript turned off or older browsers may not work at all Criticism (contd)
