Yeah, Web 2.0 is more of a philosophy than anything else. It's also a great excuse to use gradients everywhere on your site

 

Absolutely false and it's well defined by Tim O'Reilly who coined the original term. Google for him and "web 2.0" to get the definition from the source. It never has had anything to do with graphics or presentation.

 

It's really just an idea of how the internet should work, connecting users and websites together to hold information and communicate quicker. It's really just a phrase, but think of it as using the internet to a higher level of communications (social networking, skype, etc)

 

I never meant to imply that Web 2.0 was all gradients and mirrored text (I was actually making a joke *fail*).

I'm well aware of the ideas behind web 2.0, which is an extremely powerful way of looking at webdesign and in turn business models.

It's definitely something worth getting to know. I do, however, stand by the statement that it is a philosophy not any technology or technological standard.

 

Web 2.0 does not refer to any specific change in the technology of the Internet, but rather the behavior of how people use the Internet. ...

 

A Web 2.0 site allows its users to interact with other users or to change website content, in contrast to non-interactive websites where users are limited to the passive viewing of information that is provided to them. QED.

 

i agree with RichPirate in one thing which is having gradients all over your website
lol

cheers

 

I think it's just a marketing concept, like AJAX. (everybody seems to call every javascript they use for ajax, even if there is no xml involved whatsoever, because the word is so hyped). But the concept was that in Web2.0 the content of websites will be created not solely and not mostly by webmasters, but by the users themselves.

 

Then you would be wrong. Read the other posts and learn.

 

Web 2.0" refers to what was perceived as a second generation of web development and web design. It is characterised as facilitating communication ...

 

It's about an interlinked and interactive web, where websites become more of a community than simply static pages. Sites like Technorati, YouTube and Facebook are good examples of Web 2.0 sites.

 

If you go to O'Reilly's page he admits right then and there that there's nothing new about it, and says the web "started at 2.0" because you could click on links. Christ. The simple fact of making a freakin hyperlink means the page is freakin interactive. Oooh, so new, what, 20 years old???? 30???

It's not new. It means ultimately nothing. Documents have been linked since freaking ARPAnet and that's interaction and so if someone adds a crapload more fancy "interaction" that's suddenly supposed to be such a brand new freaking name, ooh trendy name, web 2.0, web 3.0

WEB3000 MAN IS IT SUPPOSED TO BE LIKE PYTHON IN THE YEAR OF THE 5th DIMENSION WITH KILLER ROBOTS AND EUROTRASH TECHNO MUSIC???
Det snurrar i min skalle!!!


Web designers would do well to ignore trendy hype talk that is all gobbledygook marketing terms and do what they always should have been doing: building web sites that have meaningful content, do what they're supposed to do in a semantic and accessible way. There is no 1.0, 2.0, 3.0 or bullshit.0. They do not exist. The only thing that exists is a static web page or a dynamic one, and all the gradients in between. Period. Know the difference between those things and you are good to go.

This doesn't change because you add a goddamn TWITBIRD on your page or 500 gradients or a freaking banking application. It's still a web page and you don't need to give it any freaking retarded labels.

Down with the Web2.0 Trend Police. Resist! Fight! Smoke!

Web 2.0 refers to the second generation of the Web, which enables people with no specialized technical knowledge to create their own websites, to self-publish, create and upload audio and video files, share photos and information and complete a variety of other tasks.

 

The correct answer, not yours, was given three times above. Or are you not following along?

Amen brotha. So why are we giving the "Web" is getting a version number like a piece of software to be marketed? I propose we do it the Ubuntu way: let's name them after silly animals!

So Web 1.0 can be Wacky Walrus
and Web 2.0 can be Blogging Bear
and Web 3.0 can be Crazy Crackpot Catamount...
