Web 2.0

The buzz of Web 2.0

There has been much talk of late about Web 2.0 among web developers, designers and bloggers. It refers to the emergence of Internet based tools and how they will become part of everyday web usage.

The philosophy of Web 2.0 is that those people who consume media and access the World Wide Web should not be passive in their interaction but instead should become active in their contribution, by helping to customise the latest technologies for their own use.

Websitesblog.co.uk offers a further insight into the revolution that is Web 2.0.

Blogging and RSS

Two of the technologies encompassed by Web 2.0 include blogging and RSS.

Blogs are online journals created by an individual or an organisation to say anything and everything, covering an array of topics as vast as thought will take you. Bloggers form a massive influential network, exerting pressure on the media and policy makers.

With RSS, you can have the latest headlines and updates from your favourite web sites delivered to your desktop without even having to open your web browser. Really Simple Syndication feeds are free to get and all you need is to download some simple software that will deliver the desired content to your desktop.

What is social bookmarking?

Have you ever sent a friend a link to a website you think they will be interested in? If the answer is yes then you have joined in the innovation that is social bookmarking.

When you participate in social bookmarking, instead of saving web addresses to your browser, you save them to the web. And because these bookmarks are online it is really easy to share them with friends and family.
