WEB 2.0
- include social networking websites, self-publishing
platforms (e.g., WordPress' easy-to-use blog and website
creation tools), "tagging" (which enables users to label
websites, videos or photos in some fashion), "like"
buttons (which enable a user to indicate that they are
pleased by online content), and social bookmarking.
Users can provide the data that is on a Web 2.0 site and
exercise some control over that data. These sites may
have an "architecture of participation" that encourages
users to add value to the application as they use
it. Users can add value in many ways, such as by
commenting on a news story on a news website, by
uploading a relevant photo on a travel website, or by
adding a link to a video or TED talk which is pertinent
to the subject being discussed on a website
WEB 2.0
- One of the most significant differences
between Web 2.0 and the traditional World
Wide Web (WWW, retroactively referred to as
Web 1.0) is greater collaboration among Internet
users, content providers and enterprises.
Originally, data was posted on Web sites, and
users simply viewed or downloaded the content.
Increasingly, users have more input into the
nature and scope of Web content and in some
cases exert real-time control over it.
WEB 3.0
a phrase coined by John Mark off of the New
York Times in 2006, refers to a supposed
third generation of Internet-based services
that collectively comprise what might be
called the intelligent Web such as those
using semantic web, micro formats, natural
language search, data-mining, machine
learning, recommendation agents, and
artificial intelligence technologies which
emphasize machine-facilitated understanding
of information in order to provide a more
productive and intuitive user experience.
