Into the Wide World of Web 2.0

Welcome to the world of Web 2.0, and the ongoing evolution of the World Wide Web, its architecture and the way we use it. The web is moving from a static form where information was being posted by webmasters and read by users (Web 1.0), to a rapidly progressing user-orientated environment that promotes interactivity and input from a variety of sources, Web 2.0.

This blog (Weblog) is not only my posting of events as they happen, with my narrative, but also your opportunity to let the world know what you think about the issues.

The domain that we are currently on is www.blogger.com owned by Google and one of many online forms of content management systems designed for composing and maintaining Blogs.

Wikis (like those at mfs.org.au) are another form of web content management system arising from the availability of Web 2.0 technologies. All the data is open to the wiki community to edit and be scrutinized for validity, and this makes for constant evolution in change of content and the growth in the amount of information.

Web 2.0 has a huge emphasis on user input and online community or social networks, users input personal information and find common ground and relationship in which they can spread their own network. A great examples of this would be sites such as Facebook, and Myspace.

But enough of my views on the wider world of Web 2.0, I would love to hear what you think about the mfs.org.au wikis and this blog, and the use that we should make of Web 2.0.
