Outline

Web 1.0 and Web 2.0 (and you might start reading about Web 3.0) are NOT version releases of the Internet.

Web x.x is a “movement” in terms of how the Internet is used.

What is Web 1.0?

Web 1.0 was/is all about presentationGraphics designers for websitesHTML, LayoutOnline brochure

All about e-commerceOne-way communication

(Website Web Surfer)Creating a website required either expertise

or $$

What is Web 1.0?

Web 1.0 was really the one-way communication, but people are opinionated! People want online communication to be interactive

With that, forums and message boards became more popular

Blogs were bornSocial Networking websites were born

What is Web 2.0?

The term “web 2.0” goes back to ~ 2003

Web 2.0 is changing the way companies and people interact online.

Web 2.0 refers to the new movement of interactive online activities

Blog creation takes 5 minutes

What is Web 2.0?

No longer about presentation, but more about content

No longer about reading websites, but writing blogs

Less about companies, more about communities

Less about “corporate message”, more about “my message”

What is Web 2.0?

The word blog comes from “Web Log”Web Log Weblog BlogBlog is a platform to publish content

instantly!Like an online journal, yet more…Like a news agency publisher, but without an

editorThe “blogosphere” is the millions of

interconnected blogs on the Internet

What is a blog?

As of June, 2009, there are approximately ~133 million bloggers world-wide(according to Semantic Discovery, www.semanticdiscovery.com)

Bloggers in about every category on about every subject“Mommie bloggers” (stay-at-home moms)Milblogs (military / defense issues)Polibloggers (politics)…

What is a blog?

Blogs have their own search enginesQuibbles.com

http://www.icerocket.comBlogs are powerful source of information,

but lots of junk.Successful blogs are less about opinions

and more about unique content / perspective (we don’t want yet another opinion, we want to learn something new!)

What is a blog?

Ever heard of MySpace?What about Facebook, Twitter?

Online Social Networking websites bring groups of individuals with common interests or ties together.

Share blogs, pictures, profiles, etc.

Social Networking

Twitter Anyone?Twitter gives you the

ability to follow quick notes about subjects your are interested in, happenings with friends, and much more.

Friends, Facebook, and Fun, Oh My!Facebook revolutionized

the way friends, family, and companies communicate and share information, and stay in contact. It has become the pattern for other social networking sites.

Games and applications on Facebook expand how individuals and companies can communicate and gather information.

Facebook is the #2 Website on the entire Internet (According to Alexa.com, June 2012)

Hundreds of millions of social networking users world-wideLargest in the U.S.Europe, Asia, South America(According to Semantic Discovery, www.semanticdiscovery.com,

June 2008)

Social Networking

Youtube.com is the number one video website on the Internet

Youtube is “Web 2.0” by natureAll content is “user generated” meaning that

it is a collaboration of video content and not necessarily professionally produced.

Youtube

Businesses and Organizations starting to use Youtube to release video content instead of own website.

Youtube is the #3 website on the entire Internet – behind Google and Facebook(According to Alexa.com, June 2012)

Youtube offers comments on videos, creating online conversations about videos

Youtube

Anyone who claims to know what’s next with technology, the market, or politics is lying or completely naïve (and probably both)

But can’t we speculate?

What’s Next (Web 3.0)

Dave Barney’s “Opinions and Thoughts” on what might be next:Heavier use of mobile devicesAll our content (pictures, documents, email)

online and accessible from anywhere (mobile devices, laptops)

Decline in real-life social skills (too much online is not healthy)

Smarter search engines (based more on our own search history and personal preferences)

What’s Next (Web 3.0)
