Web 2.0

“Web 2.0 era” means that the Internet is now about interactivity. No longer do Internet users want to just look at and read a page, users want to interact, leave comments, upload music or photos and be involved in the Internet community. Web 2.0 can be defined as the set of technologies which enable collaboration and sharing between Internet users. These can be web pages, web-based communities or hosted services such as social-networking sites, Wikipedia sites, blogs and podcasts. Web 2.0 in 2004, is an upgraded version of Web 1.0, whereby, it encourages users participation and contribution.

Wikipedia is an online encyclopaedia maintained by users. They allow people to contribute to and add definitions or topics.




Social networking includes sites like Twitter, MySpace, Facebook and Blogs. Here, people put up a public profile about themselves. They can add their favourite photos, music and website links and choose to share these with friends only or the general public.




Podcasting. A 'podcast' is an audio file or series of audio files that can be shared with others. You can subscribe to a podcast in much the same way as you subscribe to an email newsletter.
