Web 2.0 . . . my attempt
Well, first you gotta look at Wikipedia: Web 2.0.Web 2.0, a phrase coined by O'Reilly Media in 2004,[1] refers to a perceived second-generation of Web-based services—such as social networking sites, wikis, communication tools, and folksonomies—that emphasize online collaboration and sharing among users. O'Reilly Media, in collaboration with MediaLive International, used the phrase as a title for a series of conferences, and since 2004 some developers and marketers have adopted the catch-phrase. Its exact meaning remains open to debate, and some technology experts, notably Tim Berners-Lee[2], have questioned whether the term has meaning.
I think I prefer the Simple English Wikipedia: Web 2.0.Web 2.0 is what people call new ways of showing or using things on the Internet. To people who use the Internet, wikis and blogs are Web 2.0. Some think that Wikipedia is a great example of "Web 2.0". Web 2.0 is mostly about user-generated and interactive content.
Beyond that . . . the list at Web2.0List is always useful for poking about.
Oh Hell James, I know what web 2.0 is. I just meant that it's a bitch to keep up with all the new widgets and the cool uses they support.
ReplyDeleteSo... the thinking is... let the community of 8M find the good ones for me, by choosing to use them to create and share knowledge about WoW.

Oh, hell . . . I know you know what it is supposed to be . . . I just don't think it is.
ReplyDeleteIf I can mangle a quotation from "The Art of Zen and Motorcycle Maintenance"
Web 2.0 is un-sci-en-ti-fic. It contains no matter and has no energy and therefore, according to the laws of science, does not exist except in people's minds.... Of course the laws of science contain no matter and have no energy either and therefore do not exist except in people's minds. -- Robert M. Pirsig
And by the way . . . that community of 8m is not looking for cool new gadgets . . . they are grinding out Rep in the backwoods of Azorath.
