Web 2.0 yo! Here are the five characteristics!
Dynamic content
Content is no longer static! It is now organic and constantly changing! The content that one viewer of a site might see one second may be completely different when another viewer see the same site a second later! Constantly updated, users contribute in a way that changes said information. It's viewable on multiple platforms and can be something like a reader.
Example? Digg
Digg is a social news website where users can submit stories and "digg" them if they like 'em. You can also "bury" something you don't like. This means that the top stories are top because people said so.
User contribution
User contribution means that the user plays a role in generating the value of the content. By tagging and rating the content allows organizations to see how people experience their content. This means that the creators know what you like or don’t etc.
Example? YouTube
Users can not only upload their own videos, but rate other videos too. Also, just by viewing a video on YouTube, the user contributes to the "times viewed" number, which can increase the popularity of video as well.
Social media
Social media is online media that provides opportunities for socializing, connection, and sharing between users. Users can express their identity and interact with others.
Examples? Twitter
Twitter is a social media/mico-blogging site that allows users to constantly update how they are feeling, what they are doing, what they are liking, and more! They can follow other users and interact with them by @ replying them or "RT" or Re-Tweeting them. Users showcase their identity with their profile picture and with their background images.
Online applications
An online application lets users create things in a browser, with the help of software run online.
Example? Picnik
Picknik allows users to upload photos and then edit them online. Like an online and simpler photoshop.
Harnessing collective intelligence
Tagging let's users assign keywords to content, so that you can find what you want easier. Also known as “folksonomies” the tags you create are then “you-based”. The website then knows what the user wants and likes and can direct the user to other things or users they may like as well.
Example? The Sixty One
The Sixty One lets users listen to music and tag the songs that they like. By doing so, it can recommend what other songs they might like. The Sixty One let's artists submit work, and track what people are listening to. With this info they then create lists for users of what other users are listening to most and what songs are hot.
