3 | Principles of Web 2.0
![Page 20: From MySpace, MySociety to MyDemocracy. Civil Society Media, an overview](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022081518/548e6547b47959b4498b4fde/html5/thumbnails/20.jpg)
Web 2.0 - the characteristics
1. The network as platform, spanning all connected devices
2. Delivering software as a continually-updated service that gets better the more people use it
3. Consuming and remixing data from multiple sources, including individual users, while providing their own data and services in a form that allows remixing by others,
4. Creating network effects through an "architecture of participation,"
5. Going beyond the page metaphor of Web 1.0 to deliver rich user experiences.

Characteristics of Civil Society Media

Trends in Civil Society Media
• Co- and peer production leads to much de-central professional content
• New online civil society organizations help improve practical capacities of individuals to build online social capital
• Citizens need to be media-wise: otherwise socially excluded

Principles of web 2.0 for government
• Default to openness (use open standards)• Open your datastreams (facilitate

processes more efficient and to innovate

Stimulate the role of civil society media
• Act as a guardian, not as a gatekeeper• Work together with local organizations to
keep the information flowing• Find out where your audience is,
communicate there• Stimulate and attracts the civil society
media with small funds
