What is Web 2.0?

What is Web 2.0? : Gina Hughes

I had the same question when I first heard the term. To simplify things, Web 2.0 is what people consider “the second generation of services available on the World Wide Web that lets people collaborate and share information online“. Ok, I took those exact words from Wikipedia, which is a good example of this new Web 2.0 era. In the past we had encyclopedias, these days we also have wikis or wikipedias, which are updated more frequently.

Just so we’re clear about that. Does that mean The Politburo Diktat is a Web 1.0 blog?

    Posh. Web 2.0 is merely a marketing gimmick, and the Ajax software used to support all those communities is very hackable.

    I like to think that I’m part of the countermovement that will produce Web 3.0 - what that is yet, I’m not quite sure, but dammit, I’m an innovator!

    Bedhead–

    I know that it sounds pessimistic, but I’m inclined to predict a dystopic Web 3.0, in which we’ll all be terrorised by sockpuppets that have gotten beyond our control.

    It’s all part of the really realer reality in the more futuristic future than is presently present through scientificky evolutionary progress in the forward direction outlined in the following website to which Xrlq directed me. Warning: extended exposure to this site may cause brain injury.

    Web 1.0 is block-mode terminals with fancy graphics. It’s an IBM 3270.

    Web 2.0 is block-mode terminals with fancy graphics and window redraw commands. A 5250.

    With Web 3.0 we might finally make it to 90’s technology…
