Website using Web 2.0

Proponents of Web 2.0 approach believe that Web use is increasingly moving towards more interaction between users and the creation of rudimentary social networks that can serve content exploiting network effects, with or without actual visual rendering and interactive web pages. In this sense, Web 2.0 sites act more as points of presence, or web portals and user-centric rather than on traditional websites.


General Characteristics:

The precise definition of a Web 2.0 application is still hotly debated. However, it is generally accepted that a Web 2.0 site must show certain characteristics:
- the site should not be a secret garden, that is to say, it must be easy to enter or leave the system information

- the user must retain ownership of its own data

- the site should be fully usable through a standard browser

- aspects of social networks.

 

Regarding all these information, we could say that many websites are using Web 2.0. Some of these are websites to chat with people (ebuddy, emessenger or yahoo web messenger), websites which provide videos (youtube, google video) or networks websites (netlog, facebook)
