Web 1.0 vs Web 2.0+ * Web 1.0 was about reading, Web 2.0 is about writing * Web 1.0 was about companies, Web 2.0 is about communities * Web 1.0 was about client-server, Web 2.0 is about peer to peer * Web 1.0 was about HTML, Web 2.0 is about XML * Web 1.0 was about home pages, Web 2.0 is about blogs * Web 1.0 was about lectures, Web 2.0 is about conversation * Web 1.0 was about advertising, Web 2.0 is about word of mouth * Web 1.0 was about services sold over the web, Web 2.0 is about web services http://www.darrenbarefoot.com

20. HTML vs XML …A little technical but worth noting! WEB 1, HTML (Hypertext Markup Language): Files that scripted how a webpage will look and what content will be visible… created static pages and static websites. (.html, .htm) WEB 2.0, XML (Extensible Markup Language): Files that compile form (how a page will look like) and content (information, images, stories, etc.) separately into one or multiple pages… creates dynamic content, form, websites and interfaces. (.php, .asp, .xml, .css, etc) Content is stored as data (.xml), Form is defined using style sheets (.css-cascading style sheets), Pages instruct browsers (Firefox, Internet Explorer, Safari) how to construct them for viewing (.php, .asp, etc)

21. Why is this important to know? This became the new format to allow dynamic content Blogs…. RSS Feeds… Aggregation… Readers… Comments… etc… Let’s figure out what all this stuff is…

24. Other Tools • Microblogs and formats • Social Networks • Mash-ups • Wikis What else? What are other concepts, terms and technologies that we need to define?

25. THE SOCIAL MEDIA GAME

26. Goals There are no winners or losers to the Social Media Game. This game is intended to help you understand the basic mechanics of the social web as well as strategize online communicating through the Web 2.0.

27. How its played Each group or individual is given an Objective Card that outlines their objective in the game. Each group or individual then gets a set of Social Media Cards . Each card represents a specific type of online social web tool and has a certain number of credits associated with it. Each group or individual is only given 10 credits to work with. You must then choose the cards to implement an online communications strategy and must not exceed 10 credits. Groups and individuals are encouraged to discuss, examine, and see how the different types of tools will best achieve their objective. You are given only 10 minutes . When a group or individual has finalized their Social Media Cards, they are then given at random a Situation Card and may trade it for another one only once. A Situation Card will offer an opportunity (more credit), create a dilemma (loose credit), or present a Wild Card (more credit to choose another Social Media Card or create their own Social Media Card). The group or individual must now re-strategize their online communications plan utilizing the Situation Card. You are given only 10 minutes . When time is up or when individuals or groups are ready, they present their objective, their situations and their strategy on how to communicate online using social media tools in order to achieve their objective to the larger group.
