My thoughts on Web 2.0



I'm sitting in my CSIS class at 10:40 am. My assignment is to write something about Web 2.0 and post it to my blog. Everyone else had to create their own blog for this assignment, but I'm using one I already have.

Web 2.0 is the second wave of web use where regular people, not corporations or companies, wanted to start making their own websites to talk about whatever they want. It all started in 2003, and it changed the way people interact online. Blogs came into being. They are more about content, than presentation. They are no longer about reading the website, but about writing in one. They care less about the "corporate message" and more about "my message."
