For my Com 430z class we were assigned to read an article called "What is Web 2.0: Design patterns and business models for the next generation of software" that was written by Tim O’Reilly. As O’Reilly states "This article is an attempt to clarify just what we mean by "Web 2.0". In the article they go over several different ways that web has changed and advanced from "Web 1.0". He talks about "The Web As Platform" specifically about Netscape being the old and Google being the new. Describing the differences between the two, giving reasons how and why Google has taken over.
In the article O’Reilly also talks about "Harnessing Collective Intelligence". In this section he talks specifically about blogging and how it has become popular. He describes a blog as "just a personal home page in diary format." From here he talks about many other topics including "Data Is The Next Intel Inside, End Of The Software Release Cycle, Lightweight Programming Models, Software Above The Level Of A Single Device, And Rich User Experiences". By the end of the article O’Reilly speaks about seven characteristics that companies with "Web 2.0" should have. He points out that these may not be all of them but these are the "core competencies of Web 2.0 companies."
I think that the "Web 2.0" and the new features are a great thing, Its great that we can blog and communicate with people. The bad thing is that there is always that person who has to ruin things for everyone. I am talking about the spammers on the web. People who are up to no good and to me are really just a pain in the rear end. Really leading to the identity problem. The spam because no one knows who they are. If there identity was known I highly doubt they would spam much.
