- 4. Defining Web 2.0 – not easy! ‘Web 2.0 describes World Wide Web sites that emphasize user-generated content, usability, and interoperability.’ ‘Web 2.0 technologies facilitate participatory information sharing, interoperability, user-centered design and collaboration on the World Wide Web.’ A Web 2.0 site allows users to interact and collaborate with each other in a social media dialogue as creators (prosumers) of user-generated content in a virtual community, in contrast to websites where users (consumers) are limited to the passive viewing of content that was created for them. Examples of Web 2.0 include social networking sites, blogs, wikis, video sharing sites, hosted services, web applications, mashups and folksonomies.’ (Wikipedia, 2012 & 2016) See this link for a useful overview: http://www.techterms.com/definition/web20
- 5. The impact of Web 2.0 on: Access (what, who, where, when?) Ownership and power Creativity Anything else More people can produce and publish their own media - e.g. musicians can self publish/distribute. Less of a hierarchy (no centre of power). No limit to creativity as no rules/regulations online (so some extent!). Gatekeepers removed. More content can mean less reliable/accurate - cultural chaos. Cyberbullying has become more of an issue. Content more available to a wider audience. Anytime, anyplace - are not restricted to schedules, e.g. BBC iPlayer. Wider range of devices to access media, e.g. laptops, mobiles, etc. (consuming and producing).
