I am actually a little bit surprised. The popularity of Social Networking is tremendous. And video sites where You Tube is a leader, but there are many other video sharing sites, are also rising rapidly. But this trend with casual gaming is a little bit surprise for me. Even if I play games online and I know their magic, I didn’t expect that casual games are more popular than above mentioned trends.

At developmag online games related site, you can find briefly report from the AdverGame network exposing states that “34 per cent of US Internet households play online games on a weekly basis, compared to the 29 per cent who watch short online videos and 19 per cent who visit social networking sites with the same frequency.“

Only, I am not sure is the same trend outside of the America.

Web 2.0 simplified

March 28, 2008

I am on the beginning here, this is my 5^th or 6^th post on this blog, and I want to make web 2.0 easy to understand for all who visit my blog. Recently, I spoke with my friend who is not much internet guy. I was telling him that I have started the blog where the main topic is web 2.0 and he asked me “but what actually is’ web two point nil’?”

So I want here to make it clear with an example, which will show the difference between “web 1.0” and “web 2.0”.

We can consider web 1.0 as digital library, where owner of the site makes the content of the site, and the visitor can read that content.

But with web 2.0 the internet is no longer only the digital depository library that we visit to read. It is a dynamic platform where we (visitors) can change, respond and contribute with many different actions we take. If you post a comment on blog, if you create your own page on social network site, if you post a video on youtube……you contribute that way and all that is web 2.0.

Sure, internet users have always been able to contribute to the old 1.0 way, where we could purchase a domain and build up an internet site or contribute on discussion boards or forums – but web 2.0 sites take things much more further. Sites that comprise 2.0 rules literally respond and can change form fitting into the demands of its users.

What do you think of when someone uses the term ‘Web Two Point O”?

Blogging?
RSS?
Tagging?
Comments?
Second Life?
Social Networks?
Flicker?
Digg? Del.icio.us?

The list can go further very long, and all are aspects of 2.0 and I will look at many of them individually on this blog.

Good examples of how Web 2.0 principles are shaping the internet are Wikipedia and Craigslist.

Wikipedia is an astonishing phenomenon. You seldom hear web users linking to dictionary or encyclopedia sources any longer. Instead they refer to a Wiki page. The Wikipedia is ‘encyclopedia that anyone can edit’. In most cases, anyone can supply or pinch info on any theme.

Other Wiki contributors, called Wikipedians, can adjust misinformation or even in cases of discrepancy, come to a consensus through fundamental interaction on a talk page.

Isn’t it stimulating that the humanity has shown an explicit preference for information that are left and maintained by the humanity itself rather than by a publishing company?

On Craigslist anyone in many locations can search out trades, businesses, jobs, relationships, rentals and events. Posting on Craigslist is free in almost all cases, although there are a few situations where it costs money to put up a job or housing ad in select areas.

Hereafter I will certainly go in details with many web 2.0 resource.
