Web 2.0

Web 2.0 in my mind is probably the most difficult topic i’ve come across this semester in NMP. Even during this weeks lecture the lecturer stated that he himself wasn’t even 100% sure as to it’s full meaning. What I got from it was that Web 2.0 indicated a second generation of the World Wide Web. Below is a table I found online showing the transition and progression of popular web tools!

One of the main things that I understand from this table is that Web 2.0 thrives from peer networking. No longer are their personal websites, but ‘blogging’ (web logging) has become a more popular publishing platform instead. Blog sites include Myspace, Bebo, Facebook, Tumblr, WordPress, Blogger etc.
