Web 2.0 is much better than the web as you know it. Anyways I seem to participate in a lot of sites that would be considered 2.0esque. If you have been living in a cave where the interwebs don’t quite reach you, or if you just don’t read as much crap as I do you will not know what web 2.0 is.
Well there actually is no specific technology change between 2.0 and 1.0. Websites just looks different. Web 2.0 websites all are almost normal names, but have nuisances. For example, they will drop a letter or use creative spelling. (flickr instead of flicker, pownce instead of pounce) EVERY website has a funky name. I should probably change my name to http://nat.we.b right now. Then maybe I’d be at least Web 1.5.
Not only do newer websites have snazzy names, but they all also have snazzy interfaces. They use AJAX (asynchronous javascript and xml == in english this means the pages load faster, and are harder to bookmark). They also revolve around SOCIETY. Well, more being social with information. The idea is to make everything better by sharing information and comparing information. This is what make the internet go ’round, connecting to everyone anywhere.
Anyways, there are a number of websites that I really use regularly, and YOU my dedicated readers (all maybe 3 of you), might be interested in trying out one. Not only will I talk about the service, but I’ll link to MY INFORMATION on the service. What a gold mine of information, you can now see how some of my snazzy site features really just pull from other places. For example.. look at the top right. see that “currently” thing? Well I update that by just IMing someone. And here you thought I went here and had to edit the HTML. Pfft not in the year 2007! I’ll even divide this into categories somewhat.
Note that this doesn’t cover websites that I just read. Maybe I’ll talk about that later, but these websites all have some sort of interactivity. This makes them so web 2.0 you might go crazy.
Now this was a huge post with tons of websites and all their information out there, but it was too long. So I have broken it down into mini-posts. This information post marks the beginning. I even created a category for this stuff. Wow, so advanced!
