What is Web 2.0? NCSL INTERNATIONAL SERVING THE WORLD OF MEASUREMENT SINCE 1961 Batelle and O’Reilly coined the term “ Web 2.0 ” in 2004, where they outlined their definition of the " Web as Platform ," where software applications are built upon the Web as opposed to upon the desktop. Web 2.0 can be characterized as the decentralization of website content, which is generated from the "bottom-up," with many users being contributors and producers of information, as well as the traditional consumers.

What is the Difference Between Web 1.0 and Web 2.0? NCSL INTERNATIONAL SERVING THE WORLD OF MEASUREMENT SINCE 1961 First, Web 2.0 is only a technological refinement, included such adaptations as broadband, improved browsers, and Ajax (now called java script), to the rise of Flash application platforms and the mass development of wigetization, such as Twitter, Facebook, Flickr and YouTube. Web 2.0 does not replace Web 1.0, but enhances and expands the total web experience and functionality for the user.

What is the Difference? NCSL INTERNATIONAL SERVING THE WORLD OF MEASUREMENT SINCE 1961 One way to describe the differences would be by using a simple analogy: Web 1.0 would be like a professor giving an undergraduate lecture to a large audience in a lecture hall. Content is delivered with little or no feedback. Web 2.0 could then be considered a post-graduate seminar hosted by a subject matter expert participating in conversations with a small number of attendees. The entire group discusses the subject with questions and answers; the group ultimately achieves “group wisdom” or an aggregation of knowledge regarding the subject.

Five Challenges Web 2.0 Will Bring to Business NCSL INTERNATIONAL SERVING THE WORLD OF MEASUREMENT SINCE 1961 A recent survey conducted by Proofpoint found that 8% of companies had terminated employees due to social media usage (common causes including sharing sensitive information on a network). While the statistic seems significant, it only underscores one of several upcoming challenges nearly every organization will face as changes in people, process and technology fueled by the collective movement we call social media or Web 2.0 begin to transform business. The following are a five challenges that every organization should be planning for right now:

Five Challenges Web 2.0 Will Bring to Business (Cont.) NCSL INTERNATIONAL SERVING THE WORLD OF MEASUREMENT SINCE 1961 Integration . Becoming a "social business" (meaning true participation as opposed to leveraging Web 2.0 (social media) as a new form of marketing) can impact nearly every function of a business. Governance . Many organizations now understand that anything that can and will be said about them on the internet will be; the good, the bad, and the ugly. This includes content produced not only from the general public, but also from internal constituents such as employees Culture . All organizations fall somewhere on a spectrum of being "open" or "closed" meaning that they are either more transparent with how they operate and collaborative or they hoard knowledge internally.

Five Challenges Web 2.0 Will Bring to Business (Cont.) NCSL INTERNATIONAL SERVING THE WORLD OF MEASUREMENT SINCE 1961 Human Resources . In order to transform from a business to a social business, companies are going to have to upgrade their HR protocols, as well as legal. And it's likely to be a never-ending process as new technologies continually hit the scene. Measurement & ROI . Every organization will continue to struggle with measuring results and reporting ROI. Philosophically, this question can be answered with another question: "what's the ROI of e-mail"? But it's a question that won't go away. New social constructs will be needed to measure social initiatives such as attention (the size or number of participants actively engaged) or authority (the amount of influence a participant has in the Web 2.0 ecosystem).
