What is Web 2.0? Reminder

For those of you who have already responded to my request (shown below),
thank you! I'd really like to hear from you the rest of you too - there's still 4 days to go to put your thoughts into the mix. Thanks, Robert -------- Original Message -------- Subject: What is Web 2.0? Date: Thu, 06 Sep 2007 08:53:22 -0500 From: Robert Cordingley <[hidden email]> Reply-To: robert at cirrillian.com To: The Friday Morning Applied Complexity Coffee Group <Friam at redfish.com> There have been some occasions recently when a particular technology or solution we have been looking at was referred to as "Web 2.0". Some preliminary research on what is "Web 2.0" has only confused me some more. So (with Steve Guerin's blessing) I decided it would be useful to poll the FRIAM group with a few questions in an attempt to clarify the meaning of the term. I hope to include a summary of the various thoughts and opinions in an upcoming newsletter I put out. I'll post a copy here too. So, there are only a few ground rules: * I won't mention names of contributors in anything I publish. * In responding, you are letting me quote you (anonymously) and letting me use the compiled responses, without copyright infringement. * Please try not to bury me with long epistles, material that is excessively technical or laced with large doses of jargon. * Please send your contributions directly to me at robert at cirrillian.com by September 15, 2008. The newsletter (http://www.cirrillian.com/newsletters.html) is free and comes out about 4 times a year. So here are a few questions to get the gray matter going: * What was Web 1.0? * What is Web 2.0: a technology, a style of usage, a type of application, none of the above, all of the above? * What will follow? * Is there anything worth mentioning in between? * What can your share about your profession? Thanks for your contributions! Robert Cordingley www.cirrillian.com -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...

My impression is that the term is a buzzword without great
significance, a bit like the term Grid computing. More specifically, however, the term means "dynamic interactive" websites where parts of the web page are updated according to user activity, rather than needing to refresh the whole page - eg AJAX is a Web 2 technology, whereas CGI scripts is Web 1. But the whole thing is evolutionary anyway - Javascript has been available since 1996, so do we date Web 2 from that point?

Execution occurs in a virtual machine sandbox such that it looks to the application like it is installed. Given a large enough lowest-common denominator on the client side (in order to avoid sending a huge amount of code), it seems like the approach could be applied to thick clients over the internet.

With Web 1.0 no-one knows you're a dog.
With Web 2.0 someone knows your a dog and will tell everyone else. :-) Regards, Saul On 9/12/07, Robert Cordingley <robert at cirrillian.com> wrote: > > For those of you who have already responded to my request (shown below), > thank you! > > I'd really like to hear from you the rest of you too - there's still 4 > days to go to put your thoughts into the mix. > > Thanks, > Robert > > -------- Original Message -------- Subject: What is Web 2.0?
