What the heck is Web 2.0 anyway?
Man, we sure hear a lot about Web 2.0 this and Web 2.0 that.
Web 2.0 is a buzzword that has been around for a couple of years now but appears to still be gaining momentum.
Here are som Web 2.0 fundamental bits of knowlege.
Credit for coining the term is given to executives of O’Reilly Media, apparently while brainstorming a bunch of names for an upcoming technology conference a couple of years ago.
The definition of the term “Web 2.0″, although often used in the Internet industry, is a little vague at best. Certainly, Web 2.0 sites often include interactive resources. Often of a “Social Networking” nature (that’s a whole other topic), they frequently allow users to share opinions, ideas, photos, videos, and Bookmarks etc. As such, this contrasts with more primitive, static information based “Web 1.0″ sites and represents therefore the evolution and progress to the next generation of “Web 2.0″ web sites.
These sites are currently of particular interest to the IM community who has discovered that these sites represent a new way of generating traffic for their own sites.
As well, quite a few Internet Marketing “Guru’s” have cought on to the wave and have begun to publish products teching you how to take advantage of the “Web 2.0″ phenomenon in order to generate huge amounts of traffic for your own Internet markeing efforts.
A few of these products are listed on this site and some of these have also been reviewed.
Among these are Michael Cheney’s “Traffic Videos” and Mike Worthington’s “The Web 2.0 Traffic System”.
