Web 2.0 |
|
| |
The past 12 months have seen an explosion of new websites that are evolving the Internet, and the term for this trend is Web 2.0. This month’s edition of The Download examines Web 2.0 and introduces you to the next generation of the Internet. |

No need to worry; the Internet hasn’t come out with a new version. Instead, new ways of using the Internet have emerged and you might already be using them. Blogs, Podcasts, Wikipedia, Flickr, and YouTube all fit under the Web 2.0 umbrella.
Web 2.0 is commonly described as the user’s Internet – able to be updated, customized, and it’s web-based. The customization occurs using a Web-browser, allowing you to control the content! Take YouTube for example; all of the videos that have been uploaded have been done by a user who wanted to share some fun, fresh content for others to see. Many have called Web 2.0 the living Web because unlike traditional websites that are static and unchanging, Web 2.0 is dynamic and organic. |

With high speed Internet connections and high-storage hard drives becoming more common, the ability to leave a personal mark on the Internet is now in the hands of users. Who knows, perhaps the next great Web 2.0 idea might just come from you!
The possibilities are endless for this new way to interact and use the Internet. Although Web 2.0 is still a new term, its organic nature is one to definitely keep an eye on and be familiar with. We’ve included some links to get you started on Web 2.0. |

So Web 2.0 is cool and fun, and there is lots more information now available on the net than ever before. But does Web 2.0 revolutionize how you use this cool technology? The answer is yes – by being accessible and allowing you to use common applications in your browser, rather than from your desktop! This new level of usability enables websites to streamline your productivity. From Google’s Writely (a web word processor) to Yahoo’s del.icio.us (a space to store your favorites and bookmarks), there is a lot of great applications for nearly every type of computer user. Another helpful benefit of Web 2.0 is that you can store your data online, making it accessible to you from any computer, not just your desktop! |

Rachel Cook recently had a baby and wanted a place to get advice and connect with other parents on the Web, but she didn't find a lot of good options.
So she did something about it, and co-founded Minti.com, which launched in March. Privately funded and run out of Perth, Australia, Minti is designed to be a Wikipedia of sorts for parenting advice.
