What is Web 2.0?experts
The business revolution in the computer industry caused by the move to the internet as platform, and an attempt to understand the rules for success on that new platform. Chief among those rules is this: Build applications that harness network effects to get better the more people use them. (…”harnessing collective intelligence.”) - Tim O’Reilly
“A collection of technologies - be it VoIP, Digital Media, XML, RSS, Google Maps… whatever …. that leverage the power of always on, high speed connections and treat broadband as a platform, and not just a pipe to connect.” - Om Malik
“Ongoing transition of the World Wide Web from a collection of websites to a full-fledged computing platform serving web applications to end users” - Wikipedia
“Web 2.0...is about making the Internet useful for computers” - Jeff Bezos

Web 2.0:new technologies: crazy developer talk
Don’t make me go thereHTML, XHTML, JavaScript, CSS
The BasicsWhat was web 1.0?
Technology Primerweb page: HTML FILE
Technology Primerweb page: HTML FILE: open from hard drive, or FTP://, FILE://, NETWORK://
Technology Primersimple web pages are static HTML files pulled from storage (THIS IS NOT “THE” WEB)
Technology Primerweb pages can be static HTML files, but are not too useful without a web server (“THE” WEB)
Social Primereven with a web server, publishing information without an audience is not very noteworthy
Captain Obvioustell me something i didn’t know!
Web 1.0:people creating & publishing electronic information (you knew that)
Web 2.0:other people creating & publishing other people’s electronic information
Web 2.0:put another way, web 2.0 isn’t really about the technology
XX
Web 2.0:it is about enabling electronic technology creation for as many other people as possible
Web 2.0:other people: not you, not me, but “them”
Web 2.0:examples: digg, wikipedia, wikinews

Licensing:example challenge for Web 2.0 in government
Obama's transition website 'frees the content'From Wikinews, the free news source you can write!
In a move to open up government and embrace modern thinking on copyright, U.S. President-Elect Barack Obama's transition team website, Change.gov, has adopted the Creative Commons licenses for all content and user contributions. This will allow anyone to take material from the site and reuse it, without any concern that they may be violating copyright.
"This is great news and a encouraging sign that the new administration has a clear sense of the importance of openness in government and on the web. The embrace of Creative Commons licensing on Change.gov is consistent with earlier support by both Obama and John McCain for the idea of 'open debates'," said Creative Commons in a statement posted on their website.
Those making reuse of the site's content are only obliged to attribute it, per the terms of the Creative Commons Attribution 3.0 Unported licence. The 'right to remix' the new license extends is not restricted to text; videos are included and the site now provides links to download copies of clips for this purpose.
In addition to the new license, Change.gov has introduced open forums for the discussion of items that concern the electorate. According to Computerworld, unlike the blogs used by some government departments, posts appear unfiltered and a scoring and ranking system is employed. One of the high-traffic early discussion threads is soliciting public input on healthcare worries.
All government documents are all in the public domain. Despite the ".gov" web address, the site is run by the "Obama-Biden Transition Project" charity. As a 501(c)4 non-profit organization, they are required to release their creations under any free license.
Creative Commons licenses are encouraged on popular photo sharing website Flickr, and is the only applicable license on Wikinews.Have an opinion on this story? Post it!
