Outline • What is Web 1.0? • What is Web 2.0? • What is a Blog? • Social Networking • Youtube • What’s next (Web 3.0)
What is Web 1.0? • 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 presentation • Graphics designers for websites • HTML, Layout • Online brochure • All about e-commerce • One-way communication(Website Web Surfer) • Creating a website required either expertise or $$
What is Web 2.0? • 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 born • Social 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 a blog? • The word blog comes from “Web Log” • Web Log Weblog Blog • Blog is a platform to publish content instantly! • Like an online journal, yet more… • Like a news agency publisher, but without an editor • The “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 engines • Quibbles.com http://www.quibbles.com • Technorati.com http://www.technorati.com • Icerocket.com http://www.icerocket.com • Blogs 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!)
Social Networking • 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.
Twitter Anyone? • Twitter gives you the ability to follow quick notes about subjects your are interested in, happenings with friends, and much more. • If you have a Twitter account you can check us out on Twitter, CSISTweets
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.
Social Networking • Facebook is the #2 Website on the entire Internet(According to Alexa.com, June 2012) • Hundreds of millions of social networking users world-wide • Largest in the U.S. • Europe, Asia, South America (According to Semantic Discovery, www.semanticdiscovery.com, June 2008)
Youtube • Youtube.com is the number one video website on the Internet • Youtube is “Web 2.0” by nature • All 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
What’s Next (Web 3.0) • 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 devices • All 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)
