Task 3: Web 2.0

The comparison of Web 2.0 and Web 1.0 can be seen by looking at these two sites.
Internet Communications Blinklist

Html Version

Wow! This is a great example of how web 2.0 encourages information sharing, and communication, the expression of opinions and interaction. The html version is simple, basic, but quite limited. The web 2.0 version offers discussion between users, reviews and opinions through "blinks" and is some what more interactive and aesthetically pleasing to use. You can personalise your watchlists and contacts as well. The html version works, especially for older people who might find learning interactive versions quite overwhelming, but with the younger generation experiencing facebook, youtube, and friendster how can people go back? We have become accustomed to the lack of boundaries. This is the progression of technology and we can only expect to keep going forward, not back.
