WEB 2.0

Web 2.0?

Well a lot is written by people about web 2.0. But it is just a coin phrase? Well kind of i think. Sure i see the comparisons given by O'Reilly and others but i am still of the understanding that it is just the web. The web growing up and maturing into an adult. If people want to call it 2.0 so be it.
But by looking at the principles of change from the early days to now, there are some definite progressions and changes that have occurred.
Basically web 2.0 talks about the web becoming more of an interactive world with less treading on the people so to speak. Like Google being a great service and not having to pay. People will always go for the free option if it is any good. More and more of the online world is seeing this and addressing the blatant early profiteering. User needs are now shaping the online services of the future.

When i opened up the 2 different pages, there was a clear presentation difference between the 2. The simple HTML page was clearly just a list with all the links simply executed. There are a lot of potential use ability issues with this. The site take for granted that we read English for one. The Blinklist site on the other hand was graphically pleasing and well laid out. With some great features. I guess Web 2.0 for this example.
But in all honesty, if i was looking for pure information, the plain HTML (web 1.0) would have been my selection.
