Web 2.0 Design
The whole concept of a second generation of the Internet has led
some people to wonder just what type of applications could properly
be included as part of Web 2.0 design. Here are some suggestions of
enhanced services or innovations that have appeared in recent years
and become part of what many believe is the foundation for the next
level of the World Wide Web.
Part of the changing face of the Internet has been enhanced by the
creation of web logs, or blogs as they are known. Blogs have become
ways for persons to not only have a site that is their own personal
soapbox, but also can often be a means of generating extra money.
With the use of adword technology as a means of allowing ads to be
displayed on the blog, the owner picks up ad revenue for any clicks
through to the originator of the ads. Also, blog owners often use
their space to offer their own electronic products, which makes the
idea of a blog even more of a money maker.
Auction sites are also considered an integral part of the new
landscape. From their early days as a means of allowing people to
clean out their closets, the auction sites of today now offer people
the option of setting up an online store, as well as the ability to
buy or sell high priced items such as homes and cars. As an example
of Web 2.0 design, the auction site is a classic. There is no doubt
that auction sites have evolved, or that their presence on the
Internet has changed the way consumers shop.
There are a number of business models, social networks, and other
innovations that have certainly changed the Internet a great deal
since its inception. Many of theses newer applications form the
basis of the Web 2.0 concept. Look around online and see what you
can find that is used daily today, but was not even available ten or
fifteen years ago. Chances are you will have identified an element
that is truly part of the essential Web 2.0 design.
