2. What is Web 2.0?

4. Web 1.0: web as information source. Websites send info to remote users Web 2.0: web as participation platform. Users share info on a central hosting service using online software, without building their own site Ex: www.saclaw.org Ex: Facebook.com

5. Web 1.0: users with comments or complaints e-mail the webmaster Web 2.0: users with comments or complaints can enter public comments right on the site, allowing dialog http://www.flickr.com/photos/amoraleda/3441718543/

6. Web 1.0: users find information by searching or using pre-written indices Web 2.0: users “tag” sites, photos, etc. with keywords that make sense to them, and find information using tags others have applied in the past Ex: www.saclaw.org http://www.flickr.com/photos/amoraleda/3441718543/

7. Web 1.0: users must visit websites to see any updates Web 2.0: users can subscribe to updates and be notified of new material automatically

8. Web 1.0: webmasters code hyperlinks in their sites to send users to other sites Web 2.0: site creator can easily embed material from other sites using pre-built “widgets” Book cover widget from “LibraryThing”
