When the World Wide Web was invented,
most web pages were static. Static (also
known as flat page or stationary page) in
the sense that the page is “as is” and
cannot be manipulated by the user. The
content is also the same for all users. This
is referred to as Web 1.0.
Web 2.0 is the evolution of Web
1.0 by adding dynamic web pages—
the user is able to see a website
differently than others. Examples of
Web 2.0 include social networking
sites, blogs, wikis, video sharing
sites, hosted services, and web
applications.
Web 2.0 allows users to interact
with the page: instead of just reading a
page, the user may be able to comment
or create a user account. Web 2.0 also
allows users to use web browsers
instead of just using their operating
system. Browsers can now be used for
their user interface, application software
(or web applications), and even for file
storage.
Most websites
that we visit today
are Web 2.0.
1. Folksonomy. It allows users to categorize and
classify/arrange information using freely chosen
keywords (e.g., tagging). Popular social networking
sites such as Twitter, Instagram, Facebook, etc. use
tags that start with the pound sign (#). This is also
referred to as hashtag.
2. Social Media
Social media is a website, application, or online
channels that enable web users to create, co-
create, discuss, modify, and exchange user-
generated content.
a. Social Networks. These are sites that allow you to connect with other people
with the same interests or background.
b. Bookmarking Sites. These are sites that allow you to store and manage links
to various websites and resources.
c. Social News. These are sites that allow users to post their own news items or
links to other news sources.
d. Media Sharing. These are sites that allow you to upload and share media
content like images, music, and video.
e. Microblogging. These are sites that focus on short updates from the user.
f. Blogs and Forums. These websites allow users to post their content.
3. Mobile Technologies
The popularity of smartphones and tablets
has taken a major rise over the years. This is
largely because of the devices’ capability to
do tasks that were originally found in personal
computers.
a. iOS
b. Android
c. Blackberry OS
d. Windows Phone OS
e. Symbian
f. WebOS
g. Windows Mobile
4. Assistive Media
Assistive media is a nonprofit service
designed to help people who have visual
and reading impairments. A database of
audio recordings is used to read to the user.
