Web 2.0

Right this is where i confess that im a really really really bad web student as when i was sat in the first web lecture i had absolutely no clue what simon was going on about when he was telling us about web 2.0. so i thought id look into it more and c wot i could find out about it and hopefully i will be able to turn into a good web student who actually knows about the web rather than just makin pretty things nad hoping for the best!

Web 1.0 Web 2.0
DoubleClick --> Google AdSense
Ofoto --> Flickr
Akamai --> BitTorrent
mp3.com --> Napster
Britannica Online --> Wikipedia
personal websites --> blogging
evite --> upcoming.org and EVDB
domain name speculation --> search engine optimization
page views --> cost per click
screen scraping --> web services
publishing --> participation
content management systems --> wikis
directories (taxonomy) --> tagging ("folksonomy")
stickiness --> syndication

so from wot ive found out from what i've researched, the lectures and seminars and what i've found out through chatting to people is that web 2.0 is all about getting more from the web, more interaction, more networks, more commication, more vidoes, more mobile, more useability and accessablity. this could all be becuase we have alot more access to the internet that ever before with highspeed broad band with larger bandwidths that enable us to download and share larger files.
