What is web 2.0?

Perhaps you have already heard of some characteristics of web 2.0, such as Blog, OpenAPIs, RSS. Do you think Flickr or Youtube these concepts websites can be represented Web 2.0? Actually, it’s NOT.

Let’s imagine how Web 2.0 consist of. The first part---RIA (Rich Internet Application), such as Flash, Ajax and etc. network application technologies are under RIA control in which can enhance users’ IE experience, easily operate from desktop interface to IE, just like, the most typical function---support drag in webpages.

Second, SOA (Service-Oriented Architecture), a structure which can provide open sources and communicate with different ISP’s network applications to coordinate in operation. To be a member of Web 2.0, such as Feeds, RSS, Web Services, Mash-up, actually Mash-up, we use it every day. For example, Yahoo or Google provides API interface function module, which can directly result in a serious of Yahoo Map or Google Earth, a third network service, being operated.

What is Web 2.0 doing now today is to build up people as Internet of the starting point. From knowledge point of view, Web 1.0 task was using human knowledge through the power of commerce that can be put on Internet. Web 2.0 task uses these knowledge through every user’s power of desire of seeking knowledge, to coordinate works, organize all the knowledge put together; during the processes, Web 2.0 still deepens knowledge continuously and creates new sparks of new ideas.

From technical view, Web 2.0 is more customized, more efficient at work, such as Ajax technology, Google Map/ Gamil can interact with each other during operating.
What I believe is Web 2.0 is a network provided from a core of human beings, and it provides more convenient net tools to users, stimulate to provide contents, result from the tracks which users had left organizing clues of exploring, providing related web services, creating brand new values and expectation, and that is the way of Web 2.0
