Web 1.0 - wasn't interactive, push media, information provided for the user
Web .20 more collaborative, participatory and creative, upload, share, download and create
David Gauntlett
- "the phrase 'web 2.0' was coined by Tim O'Reilly. 'web 2.0 is as mentioned above, not a replacement for the web that we know and love but rather a way of using existing systems in a 'new' way: to bring people together creatively.
- the spirit of 'web 2.0' is that individuals should open themselves to collaborative projects instead of seeking, to make and protect their 'own' material. the 'ultimate' example at the moment is perhaps Wikiepia, the massive online encyclopaedia created collectively by its millions of visitors.
What is web 2.0?
user-generated material via software and hosted sites - youtube, myspace, facebook - what have been labelled 'web 2.0'
a way of using existing systems in a 'new' way: to bring people together creatively
the 'ultimate' example at the moment is perhaps wikipedia, the massive online encyclopaedia created collectively by its millions of visitors.
creativity and people attempting to change culture - The Vamps, Justin Bieber, Conor Maynard, The Midnight Beast all have been signed by record labels by posting covers on Youtube and have gained a massive fan base before being signed by people viewing their videos online worldwide.
participatory culture - people can now use their knowledge to help information sites grow and develop, they public work together by combining everything they know together. for example: wikipedia, flickr, writing comments on youtube, online forums, ect.
