What is Web 2.0..??

Oooola,

Let me start straight away by saying that this article would give you an brief idea about the Web 2.0.

I may be sure that many people are still in the hunt for a proper definition of term "WEB 2.0", coined by, Darcy DiNucci in 1999. Come on guys and gals, its no the time to search for definition. I still remember my teachers giving me full marks only if I answer the text book definition, in fact my definition penned down on the my answer sheet was much understable than the one in textbook.

OK, back to business..!! The term Web 2.0 means, The next generation of Web(World Wide Web). That raises the question where is Web 1.0? The answer lies no where, the number system starts from 1.0 which means the Web which existed before 2.0 was nothing other than Web 1.0. So, what made Darcy to actually coin the term "2.0" and then stick it in front of the already familiar term "Web"...? Yes, exactly this is what I would be trying to tell in this article.


This is all due to the change of World Wide Web, and we all know that how much has the Web changed in the past decade. From a very static web page to the most revolutionising dynamism on the Internet today. From weekly updates to the live scores which are as faster as thing are happening in real time.

The web sites which are now called as Web 2.0 are often developed on the technologies which were actually existing in late nineties, but the way of using them to achieve dynamism has changed drastically during this decade. We can say that Web 2.0 as just a buzz word, which incorporated all the latest inventions on the Web as it went along. There are several examples where we can differentiate between "just Web" (or rather Web 1.0) and "Web 2.0", take a simple example between "www.bmsce.ac.in" and "www.facebook.com". Here www.bmsce.ac.in is an official site for one of the renowned educational institution in Bangalore, India. Where you get to know about the college details, admission, departments and courses offered. While in contrast, let us see what Web 2.0 offers us to play with in www.facebook.com, It's a complete social networking site where even BMCE institution is just a small chunk of it, and people can share their view, pictures, videos, comments, like and dislikes and lot more, and more over just not about BMSCE, in fact on all other things, objects, animal and what not on earth.

This is the kind of impact the web has made in the last few years, and this is what is known as Web 2.0

Thank you all guys for you patient reading,
Lot's to come ahead....
