Where does Web 20 fit

Uploaded by loots1964 on Oct 21 2009

Originally I planned on having kids tell me about how they used Web 20 technologies in

school but when I saw their reaction to my question that they clearly had no idea what a

Web 20 was - by name at least I realized I had stumbled onto a fascinating little bit of

information Web 20 is so innate to digital natives that they canrsquot even identify it by name

3

What is web 20 then

The definitions abound

Web 20 = the web as platform

Web 20 = the underlying

philosophy of relinquishing control

Web 20 = glocalization (ldquomaking

global information available to local

social contexts and giving people the

flexibility to find organize share

and create information in a locally

meaningful fashion that is globally

accessiblerdquo)

More of what is web 20

Web 20 = an attitude not a

technology

Web 20 = when data interface and

metadata no longer need to go hand

in hand

Web 20 = action-at-a-distance

interactions and ad hoc integration

Web 20 = power and control via

APIs

Web 20 = giving up control and

setting the data free

Itrsquos all of that and more

Web 20 is social itrsquos open (or at least

it should be) itrsquos letting go of control

over your data itrsquos mixing the global

with the local Web 20 is about new

interfaces - new ways of searching and

accessing Web content And last but

not least Web 20 is a platform - and

not just for developers to create web

applications like Gmail and Flickr The

Web is a platform to build on for

educators media politics community

for virtually everyone in fact

year olds ndash which is a prime demographic for

marketing folks ndash had a 2 drop in usage

What about wikis

What is a wiki

A wiki is a website where every

page can be edited in a web browser

by whomever happens to be reading

it Its so terrifically easy for people

to jump in and revise pages that

wikis are becoming known as the

tool of choice for large multiple-

participant projects

Does it have anything to do with Wikipedia

Wikipedia is a wiki

The name ldquoWikipediardquo is a portmanteau

(a combination of portions of two words

and their meanings) of the words wiki (a

type of collaborative Web site) and

encyclopedia

Wikipedia is written collaboratively by

volunteers from all around the world

anyone can edit it

Be careful though

Wikipedia is just one example of a wiki

but not all wikis are Wikipedia or even like

Wikipedia

Wikis can cover all sorts of content

Wikis can be much more private than

Wikipedia (or much more open depending on

how security is handled)

Wikis do not have to be encyclopedias

Definition

We define social network sites as web-

based services that allow individuals to (1)

construct a public or semi-public profile

within a bounded system (2) articulate a

list of other users with whom they share a

connection and (3) view and traverse

their list of connections and those made by

others within the system
