Module 3 - Web 2.0

Now you've read about Web 2.0 what applications or "services" do you think are web 2.0 indicative? (Allen, M., n.d.)

When I first saw the term web 2.0, I wasn’t sure what it was. Although it seems there is no correct answer there is an indication the web is moving on and further enhancing itself. Even starting this unit, when I saw web 2.0 I thought I would find all the answers, although there is no real definition of web 2.0.

I believe Web 2.0 is a combination of the introduction of social networking sites, blogging, and shared content. The web is now being controlled by the users and the users are creating content and interacting.

Take a look at the Internet Communications Diigo social bookmarking list we have set up for you as a bookmark site - compared to html version think about the format and usability of a website/html written list with this same information. (Allen, M., n.d.)

I preferred the Diigo version of the website. It was easier to read, clearer, the information is dated which helps know the content is current. There is also a link to terms of service, a copyright licence and privacy policy which indicates the content may be more trustworthy than the html version which has no other information apart from the links.
