Web 2.0, this ten essentials you know not

Web 2.0 is like a beast that is hard to tame. Like most powerful tools and technologies, WEB 2.0 depends on what you do. Those who are motivated? Companies are advancing to 2.0 of their borders through new communications, collaboration and the way they receive public opinion. What about the people who are so sociable? Social networks have adjusted the famous "six-degree separation theory"--to a minimum of four degrees. Even if you want to waste time on the web, new technologies can accurately deliver the content you want to surf and help you waste time with higher quality.

1. It's progressive, not revolutionary.

You may have been in this for many years. If every aspect of Web 2.0 sounds like a clever marketing of something you've been working on for years, such as arguing about Interstellar travel and Star Wars on the Usenet web, that's why it's true.

Making Web 2.0 sound like a "new" thing is because of the evolving technology that adds more user-interaction features, as well as a higher level of privacy and security, which is good for your online banking and the other, perhaps, Web 2.0 social opposites. We remember those days when users on the Internet were wary of shred personal online information. On the contrary, Web 2.0 users create more detailed personal profiles and share their interests and preferences online in the community. On guard, MySpace and other sites add privacy features so you can prevent your information from being randomly stolen.

2, it's all about the application programming interface (API)

Sometimes, some acronyms can carry everything. The API is an acronym for those who are authoritative and computer savvy to make them sound professional and to talk to people like them. But for us, it's like the Web 2.0 itself, an ambiguous term.

In the context of Web 2.0, the API represents an application programming interface, not a software application, but a way to develop a mini application that can get and display information from online resources. Google search is an example of an early-open API: You can use it on Google. You can use it directly from your Safari or Firefox toolbar, or you can add it to your own site by pasting a small piece of code. There are even dashboard gadgets for Google search. All of this uses the same internal API. In addition, Google has recently released a beta version of Google Desktop Search, which is a powerful search engine that can be installed on a Mac, allowing you to search for your own files, not just the content on the Web. In fact, Google is using its own API to develop a stand-alone desktop application. Insiders call it "eating their dog food".

3, MySpace is just a tip of the iceberg

Social networks have been on the show for some time. WEB 2.0 is not just a site for social networking, it's about finding other people who have the same interests as you. Everything in Web 2.0 is a new way to build social networks. In the past, Yahoo has been the King of countless page defaults on the Web, and today, like MySpace, Facebook, Bebo, Xanga, and new zooped, these sites have all set their own manifesto and developed dazzling web pages, and gave them their own ideas, and conceived their niche in the magnificent system of the web. The effect is that users can snowball-find and make sure that others become their friends and add descriptive tags to their own profiles so that other members can find them, allowing them to expand through their own labels on a boundless network of contacts. Some of the meta sites are related to social networks: Mashable is a blog dedicated to social networking news.
