First off
What is Web 2.0?
Did any of you see this cover a few years ago?
USER GENERATED SITES – this is what web 2.0 is all about – users sharing information on the web, creating content, collaborating on information and creating online communities.
Sometimes referred to as the READ WRITE WEB
Web 20 is what the web was originally envisioned as by Tim Berners Lee
Less of a one-way communication – you post it, others read it.
But one where we interact with others, share information, take information and reuse it and then share it.
One where we meet people online.
Users creating content and sharing it on the web
Geni – genealogy site
Flickr – photo sharing and social connections
You Tube – create your own videos and share them with the world
More than half of all TEENS and YOUNG ADULTS (up to 30) have created some sort of content for the web. VERY popular.
Some examples
Communication
A web page from a library about Harry Potter – with comments from the readers of that page
Reviews on an amazon page – shows that this isn’t all new
Web 2.0 tools get better the more people use them and contribute to them.
Craigslist – works because there are so many people using it
Librarything – enough people contributing to make it an interesting place
Amazon – book reviews
Ebay – worlds largest garage sale. You’re sure to find something you don’t need!
Library catalogs – think what they could be if real people added content (think library thing)

Argyle Cut – Sydney – cut through a sandstone ridge – project begun by convicts in mid 1880’s to connect Sydney Cove & Darling Harbor.
"We're constantly cutting up content, picking out the best pieces, and passing it along. In the past, my mother used to something similar, but on a much smaller scale. She would grab a pair of scissors and snip interesting articles from the local newspaper or recipes she wanted to try from a magazine. Now a generation exists with the mentality that those scissors have been replaced with a mouse and an Internet connection.“ Nick Bilton, I Live in the Future and here’s how it works., 2010. page 40.
