coined in 2005 by Tim

O’Reilly and it was a

different thing for

different people.

Before the web was usually

one way and no feedback

was given by the users.

There was also a difference

between the publishers and

the customers.

Tools were limited in

features and interactivity.

USER CONTENTS

IT ALLOWS USER TO CREATE THEIR OWN CONTENTS FOR

SITES.

MOST USERS GO FOR MUSIC AND MEDIA.

EVERY USERS HAVE THEIR OWN RIGHTS ‘TO SAY’ AND ‘TO

KNOW’ ABOUT THE WEB.

WHAT MOTIVATES THE USER TO PUBLISH WHATEVER ON

THE WEB ARE MONEY AND REPUTATION.

POWER OF THE CROWD

• MORE HEADS ARE BETTER THAN ONE DEFINE AS THE CROWD CAN DECIDE

WHAT IS THE BEST FOR THEM.

• THIS IDEA IS SUPPORTED OR REFINED BY CONCEPTS SUCH AS :

CROWD SOURCING

SETI

FOLKSONOMY

* FOLKSONOMY IS A USER GENERATED OF CLASSIFYING AND ORGANIZING

ONLINE CONTENT INTO DIFFERENT CATEGORIES WITH THE USE OF META DATA.

DATA ON EPIC SCALE

-DATA PUBLISHED IS HUGE, CAN BE SHARED AND

‘MASH’EDABLE.

-TO THIS REGARD, GOOGLE HAS CORE COMPETENCIES IN

AREA OF DATA MANAGEMENT AND NETWORKING

TRANSFERRING AT HIGH SPEED.

-DATA CAN BE SHARED VIA API (APPLICATION

PROGRAMMING INTERFACES)

ARCHITECTURE OF PARTICIPATION

COMMUNITY, COLLABORATION AND SHARING ARE ENCOURAGED IN WEB 2.0

‘ARCHITECTURE’ AND ‘PARTICIPATION’ ARE EQUALLY EMPHASIZED TO SUPPORT EACH OTHER.

OPENNESS

• RELATED TO EPIC DATA AND PARTICIPATION.

• EVEN THE DATA IS OPEN, BUT FOR ITS VALUE,

INTELLIGENCE HA STO BE BUILD TO MAKE SENSE OF

THE DATA.

• TO DO THAT, TURN THE DATA TO INFORMATION,

INFORMATION TO KNOWLEDGE.

WEB 2.0 MAY INCREASE ITS VALUE WHEN MORE USERS USE IT.

AS AN EXAMPLE, WHEN A USER SHARE ANY BLOG CONTENTS, THE VALUE OF THE

CONTENTS WILL INCREASE.

SCALES AND TOPOLOGY ARE CONSIDERED BY MANY BECAUSE THEY ARE THE KEY

FACTORS IN THE SUCCESS OF THE INTERNET.

THIS ARCHITECTURE CONNECTS PEOPLE TO CONTENT ; PEOPLE TO PEOPLE ;

CONTENT TO CONTENT ALL THE TIME.

AS AN EXAMPLE, USERS ARE CONNECTED TO CONTENTS IN THE WAY OF CLOUD

STORAGE IN THEIR DEVICES.

CONCLUSION WEB 2.0 CAN BE CATEGORIZED AS A QUIET REVOLUTION TOWARDS OPEN

SOURCE AND INDEPENDENT METHODOLOGIES AND TOOLS.

PUBLISHERS MAY NOT SURVIVE IF THEIR SOFTWARES ARE NEEDED TO BE PAID

BECAUSE USERS PREFER IT TO BE FREE.

WORDS THAT ARE ASSOCIATED WITH WEB 2.0 ARE : AJAX, REST, LIGHTWEIGHT PROGRAMMING AND APIS.

TO REALTE IT TO EDUCATION, THERE IS A TRANSITION FROM ONLINE CONSUMER TO

CONSUMER/PRODUCER/PARTICIPANT. ONLINE LEARNING IS ONE OF THE HELPERS FOR

THE STUDENTS WHO STUDY LANGUAGE BY THEMSELVES. THE STUDENTS WILL NO

LONGER RELY 100% ON TEACHERS SINCE THEY CAN FIND IT WITHIN A CLICK. APART

FROM THAT, THEY MAY SHARE THEIR INFORMATION WITH THEIR PEERS AND FRIENDS.

THIS WILL RESULTS IN LEARNING TOGETHER AND HELPING EACH OTHER.
