From reading many articles including O'Reilly's 'What Is Web 2.0' he offers his own take on it (he apologies for his English):
|
The brainstorming session between O'Reilly and MediaLive International created a list of Web 2.0 features and their Web 1.0 equivalent. One example is the 'blog' which previously existed as a 'diary/column' on a website.
Blogs may look like regular HTML pages, but the key difference is that they're organized chronologically. New posts appear at the top, so with a single browser reload you can say "Just show me what's new." This seems like a trivial difference, but it drives an entirely different delivery, advertising and value chain. Rather than using HTML, the delivery protocol for web pages, there is a desire for a new, feed-centric protocol: RSS. To search chronologically-ordered content, a relevance-based search that destroys the chronology such as Google is inappropriate. Instead you want Feedster, PubSub or Technorati. Feed content may be better to read in a different sort of client, such as Newsgator, rather than a web browser.
Google itself is Web 1.0, however, Google News is Web 2.0 the difference being that the first is 'Reference Web, goal-directed' and the second 'Incremental Web, subject feeds.
