Web 2.0 verklaard voor niet techno geeks
Ik ben een fan van Changethis. Ze publiceren regelmatig interessante manifesto’s. Onlangs was er weer 1 over Web 2.0. Zoals met alle hypes dreigt het overmatig gebruik van de term een weerzin op te wekken. Het gaat echter om de inhoud en die staat in hun manifesto goed beschreven. Web 2.0 staat vaak voor de internet only toepassingen. Zeg maar de dotcoms van 5 jaar geleden. De onderliggende factoren kunnen echter de bricks and bytes veel inspiratie geven voor hun eigen internet toepassingen. Waar gaat het volgens ChangeThis om?:
“Web 2.0 is a group of economically, socially, and technologically driven changes in attitudes, tools, and applications that are allowing the Web to become the next platform for communication, collaboration, community, and cumulative learning.”
(Troy Angrignon)
De elementen van Web 2.0:
* Collaboration: the first theme is about people working together, collaborating, to create software, content, communities, art, music, literature, and a multitude of other things. Web 2.0 tools and applications support this type of interaction at their core.
* Conversation: There is a conversation happening and it’s not just happening in your corporate website forum. It is happening on blogs. It is a public conversation about politics, business, social issues, and anything else you can imagine, including your company. Tools are developing rapidly in this area and we have a long way to go, but these are exciting times. There is a conversation going on right now that you could contribute to or learn from. What are you waiting for? Join in!
* Community: We have had online communities now for at least fifteen years or more. But the tools for building online communities are now becoming more widespread
and communities are forming around every imaginable (and unimaginable) subject, product, and industry. If you are looking for your “tribe”, they are probably out there
somewhere.
* Connection: we are building messaging systems that now connect people to people, people to machines, and machines to machines. The names of these systems are not important but their function is.
