Like It Or Not The Web 2.0 Revolution Is Here To Stay

By Milton Reid

Web2.0 is still maturing and changing even now. The web today is no longer a static one-way system. Once visitors went to a site just to look and to read. Well that has all changed. What we have now is users participating in the millions, by using services, that allow them to connect to each other, rather than just being a visitor on a web site.

We now have sites that are interactive. Users of the Internet are no longer sitting at their computer watching, they are in it participating. Many are finding that the content, though it may not even be theirs, can be manipulated and it all happens instantly.

So really, what is WEB2.0? The answer can be a little confusing, if you were to ask 10 different web authorities what WEB20 is you are likely to get 10 different answers.

It could be defined as an incarnation of the World Wide Web typified by the transition from the typical website hosting pages, to a platform that provides a point of presence, know as web portal. From here several interactions occur.

Even the experts can't seem to agree, how are we the users supposed to understand how it works. There is still much disagreement, as to what actually defines Web2.0 it has been described as a marketing buzzword, with little meaning, yet many accept it as newer conventional wisdom.

There are many aspects of Web2.0, from the construction of the web page, to how the visitor interacts with it. This has all been brought about by the continuing development of Internet technology. We now have such magic as, XML edging out HTML making Web 2.0 a key element in the accessibility of your site.It is now the force that governs how the Internet works. You ignore it at your own peril.
