Web 2.0

8 Jun, 2008  |  Written by User Imageadmin  |  under New Media

The internet community back in September 2005 coined the shift from static pages to vibrant, dynamic, integrated media pages published not by professionals, but by amateurs, Web 2.0.  This was the initial list of what constituted 1.0 and 2.0.

Web 1.0 Web 2.0
DoubleClick –> Google AdSense
Ofoto –> Flickr
Akamai –> BitTorrent
mp3.com –> Napster
Britannica Online –> Wikipedia
personal websites –> blogging
evite –> upcoming.org and EVDB
domain name speculation –> search engine optimization
page views –> cost per click
screen scraping –> web services
publishing –> participation
content management systems –> wikis
directories (taxonomy) –> tagging (”folksonomy”)
stickiness –> syndication

Since then, lots of additional changes and technologies have occurred.  The web has morphed as users changed the way it is used.  This new world has made the world of advertising on the internet extremely confusing as:

(1) Less and less people are clicking or even noticing those ads;
(2) Many have disabled ad blocks altogether on their browsers;
(3) Click fraud is still a problem; and
(4) Conversion to sales has been dismally low (probably due to click fraud).
