Features of web 2.0
1. folksonomy – allows user to categorize and classify / arrange
information using freely chosen keywords (e .g tagging). Popular
social networking sites such as twitter, Instagram, facebook. Use
tags that start with the pound sign (#). This is also referred to as
hashtag.
2. Rich user experience – content is dynamic and is responsive to
user’s input. And example would be a website that shows local
content.
3. User participation – the owner of the website is not only the one
who is able to put content. Others are able to place a content of
their own by means of comments, reviews, and evaluation.
4. Long tail – services that are offered on demand rather than on a
one-time purchase. In certain cases, time-based pricing is better
than file size-based pricing or vice versa.
5. Software as a service – users will subscribe to a software only
when needed rather than purchasing them. This is a cheaper
option if you do not always need to use a software.
6. Mass participation – diverse information sharing through universal
web access. Since most users can use the internet, web 2.0
content is based on people from various culture.
