Premise
- web 2.0 = different mindset, tools are (nearly) the same as Web 1.0
- What's the problem: style vs substance? Just a label for a trend.
- the delineation between web 1.0 and web 2.0 is the dot-com bust. 2001 marked the end of the 1st wave, the tide went out and people realigned their thinking, then the tide started rising again around 2004
- 1.0 (web pages) - 2.0 (web apps)
- Maturity of the tools: browsers + javascript + databases
- Maturity of the market: wikipedia, blogs, myspace - people now have the mindset/expectation to write online, not just read
- Does web 2.0 = Google?
Key characteristics
- user participation
- user generated content
- read write platform
