What is Web 2.0?

June 27, 2007

I’m back in the fog again.  Or, maybe, it’s just a thick, fog bank.  Or my thick noggin.  I think it’s the latter.

Traditionally, when I get into a ‘writing funk’, I have a habit of opening Word and typing whatever comes to mind until the juices start flowing.  When I start typing something of value, I clean-up the copy.  Sometimes, I’m typing for hours!  LOL  In part, that’s what I’m doing now.  But, I did find a ‘nugget’ to pass along to you.

Wait!  There’s a break in the bank: “What is Web 2.0?

I went to work for you, doing a little, online research and I turned-up some cool information. 

After the ’shakeouts’ of the ‘dotcom bust’ in the third quarter of ‘01, a brainstorming session of seismic proportions was evolving. 

It became what is known today as the Web 2.0 Conference .

The first meeting of MediaLive International and Tim O’Reilly produced the evolutionary idea of Web 2.0 from Web 1.0, as demonstrated in the chart below:

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

 

September 30, 2005, President/CEO of O’Reilly Media, Inc. wrote an article entitled, “What is Web 2.0.”  In it, O’Reilly describes Web 2.0 as “a set of principles and practices that tie together a veritable solar system of sites that demonstrate some or all of those principles, at a varying distance from that core.”

He cited the diagram as the ”Web 2.0 Meme Map” that emerged from his FOO camp. 

I could go on-and-on.  But, O’Reilly understands and writes it much better than I could.  So, go to “What is Web 2.0“.

Have fun!  Look, fog’s gone!
