SELaplana >> Technology >> Web 2.0, What’s this?

I always heard this term from internet-tech savvy people. They say that Digg.Com, Yahoo Mail Beta and other popular websites are now using Web 2.0 Technology. But what is it? What the term “Web 2.0″ mean?

I didn’t ask my self with that question before until I visited the newly launched website of ZNET, “Webware: Cool Web Apps for Everyone“. On this site or blog, writers are all talking about the Web 2.0 Technology.

Web 2.0? According to the Wikipedia:

Web 2.0 is a term often applied to a perceived ongoing transition of the World Wide Web from a collection of websites to a full-fledged computing platform serving web applications to end users. Ultimately Web 2.0 services are expected to replace desktop computing applications for many purposes.

They say that Web 2.0 is the latest trend of internet applications, which referes to, accordint to the Wikipedia, the following:

• The transition of websites from isolated information silos to sources of content and functionality, thus becoming computing platforms serving web applications to end users
• A social phenomenon embracing an approach to generating and distributing Web content itself, characterized by open communication, decentralization of authority, freedom to share and re-use, and “the market as a conversation”
• A more organized and categorized content, with a far more developed deeplinking web architecture than hithertofore
• A shift in economic value of the Web, possibly surpassing that of the dot com boom of the late 1990s
• A marketing-term used to differentiate new web businesses from those of the dot com boom, which due to the bust subsequently seem discredited
• The resurgence of excitement around the implications of innovative web-applications and services that gained a lot of momentum around mid-2005
• Sites that use pastel colours
