So...What WasWeb 1.0 ?

• First Iteration of the Web

• Generally Static Brochureware Sites

• Little Interactivity


What Web 2.0 Isn’t

• Web 2.0 is not an upgrade to the Web

• Web 2.0 is not a specific Web Site or Web Sites

• Web 2.0 is not isolated

• Web 2.0 is not static

• Web 2.0 is not a tangible product


What Is Web 2.0 Then?

• Web 2.0 is an idea, a philosophy

• Ingrained in the Web 2.0 mindset is the “Social Network”

• Collaboration

• Interactivity


Our Social Networks

• Social Networks have existed since the beginning of mankind

• We all have social networks

• People at work

• Your friends

• Your family

• Your clients

• Your vendors


• The emergence of Web 2.0 has…

• Extended our social networks beyond our close knit groupings

• Made our potential social networks world-wide

• Given us the opportunity to network with people we never could have before


Social media is information content created by people using highly accessible and scalable publishing technologies that is

intended to facilitate communications, influence and interaction with peers and with public audiences, typically

via the Internet and mobile communications networks. The term most often refers to activities that integrate

technology, telecommunications and social interaction, and the construction of words, pictures, videos and audio. This

interaction, and the manner in which information is presented, depends on the varied perspectives and

"building" of shared meaning among communities, as people share their stories and experiences.
