What is Web 2.0?

So, what is Web 2.0? To me, it's the new...uhh...Internet?


See, back in the day, users of the World Wide Web were inactive.


We'd stare at the computer like zombies and take in the information. It was a passive experience. One way communication. Back then, you were just able to click on the various links, and those links would led to more links and pages.

But now, users are active! It's the difference between reading the paper and writing the paper yourself. Web 2.0 allows goofballs like me to create their own websites, create and upload audio and video files, to self-publish, share photos and information.
With Web 2.0 you can be heard. You can be seen. You have a voice!

You can start your own blog making fun of celebrities like Perez Hilton.You can become a star by showcasing your singing abilities on Youtube like Justin "Nice Bangs" Beiber or you can Twitpic yourself holding stacks of money like any popular rapper.


It's a social media bonanza!


Just look at some of the popular Web 2.0 applications. There is an application for videos, bookmarking, travelers, students, and music lovers.








 
 How many of these do you use?
