Web 2.0 - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia - 1 views

en.wikipedia.org/Web_2.0

shared by Betsy Long on 29 Sep 11 - Cached
  • A Web 2.0 site allows users to interact and collaborate with each other in a social media dialogue as creators (prosumers) of user-generated content in a virtual community, in contrast to websites where users (consumers) are limited to the passive viewing of content that was created for them. Examples of Web 2.0 include social networking sites, blogs, wikis, video sharing sites, hosted services, web applications, mashups and folksonomies.

      I like wikipedia's definition. I think that Web 2.0 does have to do with web apps that facilitate participatory info sharing, interoperability, etc. Social media is also an important part of web 2.0
  • The concept of Web-as-participation-platform captures many of these characteristics. Bart Decrem, a founder and former CEO of Flock, calls Web 2.0 the "participatory Web"[17] and regards the Web-as-information-source as Web 1.0.

      The concept of web as a participation platform is a big part of web 2.0, and also the teaching writing with technology classroom. The participatory culture is a huge part of integrating technology into the classroom.

    This Wikipedia page talks about Web 2.0, saying that Web 2.0 as we use it has to do with web applications that facilitate participatory info sharing, interoperability, and user-centered design

      This visual represenation of Web 2.0 technologies offers much to discuss and think about.

      the wheel itself has me thinking about how we compose in different genres and modes in the twenty-first century and how we can encourage our students to move in this direction as well.

      I really like this visual. With the emphasis on social networks, I am slightly surprised that the "social" portion of the wheel is not larger.

      I agree, but there is so much going on in the wheel, it's easy to get lost. I had a hard time selecting a good definition. Others focused more on the social aspect.The wheel is a good way to veer off in many directions.

      What's useful about this wheel is that it breaks down the concept of Web 2.0 into so many smaller components that make up the whole. On a personal note, I am sometimes overwhelmed with stimuli of this sort.

      The use of different sized font is interesting to me.  It appears to signify importance and assist the reader in choosing the order in which to read definitions.  However, this is entirely subjective.

      I am not a fan of visual represenation because I am an audio learner. However, this interactive visual is interesting. It really makes one consider the application of Web 2.0 features. It also makes me realize they are infinite applications of Web 2.0 and may explain why people stick to the social ones. I find it interesting that a category for education is missing.

      This was a very accessible way to view the differences. 
  • Betsy Long on 29 Sep 11
     
    This site states that there is a clearly defined Web 1.0 (think Netscape) versus a Web 2.0 (think Google). O'reilly has 3 major criteria for Web 2.0: 1. using the web as an applications platform 2. democratizing the web 3. employing new methods to distribute information

      I really like that the first item is focused on the user writer.

      From what I've read, that's a big part of the concept of Web 2.0-- user centeredness, and letting users get the most out of the Internet in the easiest way possible. There is so much available, but it's no good if the general public can't benefit from it.

      The simplicity of the definition you highlighted in green seems to be show up in many articles/definitions. I like that we can break down the definition into pieces and then expand the pieces to a more meaningful idea of what Web 2.0 means. I think this ability to expand on simplified ideas is what attracted me to the wheel in one of the definitions I posted.

      I like lists and use them frequently to order my life and my writing, so a list-type definition of this nature helps simplify the Web 2.0 concept.

      I suppose teaching and my own learning. It gets more into the nitty gritty of it al? It brings in the New Media aspect of rhet/comp?

      I find the focus on usuability interesting and the break down of the "user experience," themes, and benefits of Web 2.0 technologies is helpful.
  • Wikipedia, Myspace, Forums, Blogs, RSS … all these words form and represent a new way of using the Internet, and has come to be known as Web 2.0.

      This article as a whole defines Web 2.0 technologies and I like that it includes examples of what Web 2.0 technologies are. This article could be used in a writing classroom to encourage a dicussion aobut what it means to compose in the twenty-first century.

      It would be interesting to define Web 2.0 in terms of what it is not.  This phenomenon is so inclusive.

      This is a very apporpriate definition. Web 2.0 is simply a new way to use the internet. If we look at the definiton of Web 1.0 it is simply the use of search engines, and email, etc. However, web 2.0 takes these basic tasks to the next level. I like to think of web 2.0 as a function of new media as well.

      Beth, considering Blizzards profound Web 2.0 presence, it seems very intuitive to include their definition.

      I think these definitions relate to reading and writing because we read and write for different purposes. The definition of web 2.0 I selected mirrors the same intent. Web 2.0 tools are platforms for various purposes. I think if we can fin the appropriate web 2.0 school for out reading or writing purpose we can make these practices natural. From all my research on web 2.0 tools a reoccurring purpose was business.
  • The Web as Platform", because I can then fill in the blanks depending on who I'm talking to. For corporate people, the Web is a platform for business. For marketers, the Web is a platform for communications. For journalists, the Web is a platform for new media. For geeks, the Web is a platform for software development. And so on.
