The \u201c2.0\u201d moniker was originally used to draw a line separating the state of the Web before and after the dot-com bubble burst in 2000.\u00a0 <\/span>It has since taken on new meme<\/span>[1]<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/a>, which is \u201cAn interconnected Web of services\u201d and data manipulation.<\/span>[2]<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/a>,<\/span> <\/span>\u00a0<\/span>The Term of Art<\/span><\/span>[3]<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/a>, was original crafted in 2003 by Craig Cline, Dale Dougherty, -web pioneer- and Tim O’Reilly -VP of Oreilly- during a conference planning session; that conference became the Annual Web 2.0 Conference.\u00a0 <\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n \u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n Web 2.0 is about sharing first and foremost, and\u00a0 <\/span>the term now encapsulates the ways we use, interact and manipulate the information, data, and relational links of the World Wide Web (\u201cWeb\u201d) in order to enhance the Web\u2019s delivered contents (such as Wikipedia, where any person can edit the presented information).\u00a0 <\/span>Without sharing of the data, no one benefits.\u00a0 <\/span>Furthermore, a website once designated as a \u201cWeb 2.0\u201d site can transition out of that phase, if it becomes stagnant or its user community abandons it. <\/span><\/p>\n \u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n In Web 2.0 users don\u2019t just retrieve information, but can also manipulate, delete, add, reduce, comment on, -et al-, data, but more importantly, can also remix (ex. Youtube), re-present (Playlist.com) and even enhance data (Flickr, Yahoo Web Traffic CAM for navigating the morning traffic ported to Tivo DVR<\/span>[4]<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/a>), sometimes creating new forms of information (real time California Wild fires information linked to Google Maps). \u00a0<\/span>Users can do this manipulation with data they own, or data they are allowed to access (posting of arrested people on Twitter, accessed from static Police dept. Websites).\u00a0 <\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n \u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n As more people participate in enhancing the data, the usability and usefulness of what is being manipulated increases, forming a neural net of information that is deeply informative, simple to use and encourages its own use. \u00a0<\/span>The potential for increased analysis, worthwhile participation, and enhanced work product of its targeted users is what separates Web 2.0 from forum users of Web 1.0 users who would delete, remove or corrupt the data (Individually inputted Statistics for Fantasy Sports vs Official Feeds).\u00a0 <\/span>While data corruption is entirely possible in Web 2.0, the \u201cwisdom of the crowd\u201d eventually overcomes this attempt to undermine the data and in the end produces a superior product. <\/span><\/p>\n \u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n As more users join in the manipulation of the data, the means of delivering data becomes feature rich, and features begin to anticipate the needs of the users. As the data repository grows, more users enter and begin to use and create more data, generating more content in a never ending cycle. \u00a0<\/span>However adoption by a critical mass of the particular targeted audience<\/span>[5]<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/a> does not happen until the data becomes easy to use, and that is when a site has achieved its true Web 2.0 status. <\/span><\/p>\n \u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n Therefore, the key to naming something Web 2.0 is whether the site or service has made the transition to allow users to interact, access or manipulate the data presented to the user, especially if the user were not able to manipulate the data before, and allow the user to interact \u2013share- with other users of that data and finally extend the new data to the world beyond to even other users who are not on the original accessing site, i.e, the long tail.(ex, Facebook buttons, Trackbacks for Blogs and links on news websites to other web sites.) <\/span><\/p>\n \u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n \u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n [1]<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/a> The term Internet meme is a phrase used to describe a catchphrase or concept that spreads quickly from person to person via the Internet<\/em><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n [2]<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/a> As coined by Tim Orielly, one of the creators of the phrase.<\/em> <\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n [3]<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/a> A word or phrase that has special meaning in a particular context.<\/em><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n [4]<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/a> Digital Video Recorder \u2013successor to VCR- which is connected t o the Web<\/em> <\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n [5]<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/a> Critical mass is achieved when everyone in a target audience uses an item and expects everyone else to use it also.<\/em> <\/span><\/p>\n \u00a0<\/p>\n Part 2<\/a> – Understanding the 2.0 Moniker\u00a0<\/p>\n Part 3 –<\/a> What is and what is not Web 2.0<\/p>\n \u00a0<\/p>\n This work contains work of other authors and is not intended to interfere with their copyright.\u00a0 <\/span>In cases where the authors own words are clear and are determined to convey a better understanding, they were left as is, but in italics. <\/span><\/p>\n \u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n Not web 2.0, Tim Bray –\u00a0 <\/span><\/span><\/span>http:\/\/radar.oreilly.com\/archives\/2005\/08\/not-20.html<\/span><\/span><\/a><\/span><\/p>\n What is Web 2.0, Tim O\u2019reilly <\/span>http:\/\/www.oreillynet.com\/pub\/a\/oreilly\/tim\/news\/2005\/09\/30\/what-is-web-20.html<\/span><\/span><\/a><\/span><\/p>\n http:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Web_2.0<\/span><\/span><\/a><\/span><\/p>\n http:\/\/radar.oreilly.com\/archives\/2005\/08\/not-20.html<\/span><\/span><\/a><\/span><\/p>\n http:\/\/www.wired.com\/wired\/archive\/13.08\/tech.html<\/span><\/span><\/a><\/span><\/p>\n http:\/\/blogs.zdnet.com\/Hinchcliffe\/?p=71<\/span><\/span><\/a><\/span><\/p>\n http:\/\/bokardo.com\/archives\/not-a-technology-but-sharing\/<\/span><\/a><\/p>\n http:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Technology_adoption_lifecycle<\/span><\/a><\/p>\n
