where web pages are static.

 It also known as flat or stationary page and

it cannot be manipulated by users.
Web 1.0
Web 2.0

Web 2.0

Example

 Social networking sites

 Blogs
 Wikis
 Video sharing sites
Key Features of Web 2.0
 Folksonomy – users can classify and arrange information by
adding tag or label. Pound sign (#) is used in Facebook, Twitter,
Instagram and other social networking sites
Example: Example in tagging on Facebook: #TeamKawayan,
#Single

 Rich User Interface – user can have high interaction with the
content of the page and can achieve level of expertise
An example would be a website that shows local content. In the
case of social networking sites, when logged on, your account is
used to modify what you see in their website.
Key Features of Web 2.0

 User Participation – user can put content on their own in web

page like comment, evaluation, and etc.

 Web 3.0 The Semantic Web
A new paradigm in web interaction
extension led by the World Wide Web
Consortium (W3C), which provides a
framework that allows data to be shared and
reused to deliver web content specifically
targeting the user.
Web 3.0 is yet to be fully realized because of several
problems:

 Compatibility - HTML files and current web

browsers could not support Web 3.0.
 Security - The user’s security is also question
since the machine is saving his or her
preferences.
 Vastness - The World Wide Web already
contains billions of web pages.
Web 3.0 is yet to be fully realized because of several
problems:

 Vagueness – Certain words are imprecise.

The words “old” and “small” would depend to
the user.
 Logic - since machines use logic, there are
certain limitations for a computer to be able to
predict what the user is referring to at a given
time.
