web 2.0

Web 2.0 summarize the idea of the creation of "interconnectivity" and "interactivity" of web-delivered content. Below is what Tim O'Rielly has summed it up as;

"Web 2.0 is the business revolation in the computer industry caused by the move to the internet as a platform, and as attempt to understand the rules for success on that new platform".

The comparing below of what Web 2.0 really means by O'Rielly tries to explain the differences as there has been some disagreement on this topic of what it really is but isn't clear enough unless you read the article that have have posted on the link button under Web 2.o article.

DoubleClick -- > Google AdScene

Ofto -- > Flickr

Akamai   --> BitTorrent

Mp3.com -- > Napster

Domain name speculation --> searching engine optimization

Stickiness --> syndication 

Just to further explain an example of the 1.0 web and 2.o web really are here are the definitions of them;

1. Google: (Web 2.0)

This basically is a search engine, where you type in key words for information and it will list all the results but the most relevant topics to your key words will be on the first page and so on. 

2. Double click: (Web1.0)

An advertising website. "DoubleClick was first in the online media business -- that is, representing websites to sell advertising space to marketers".(IAN)
