Web 101 -Week 4

What is Web 2.0? Basically Web 2.0 is more dynamic which allows users to edit and view contents through their browsers. Web 1.0 was static, a more read only application which lacked interaction.

Although I was already aware of this change in Web technology however, what I did not know was that RSS was the main drive behind Web 2.0. I have seen RSS featured in many sites however I never know what it did till now :)

Web 2.0 was and is still a big hit with its social media, however from a financial prospective, it failed to deliver. I am sure that through Web 2.0's social media contributions it has generated significant revenues indirectly, however Web 2.0 still have not really presented a revolutionary way to really cash in on the new web technology since Web 1.0.

Whats installed for Web 3.0? One thing for sure, Web 3.0 will be more technology driven rather than social. (http://www.labnol.org/internet/web-3-concepts-explained/8908/)
