If settting your business up on-line was not confusing enough now the new buzz phrase is Web 2.0.
"If you are not Web 2.0 compliant you may as well just give up!"Sounds a little intimidating doesn't it? Well it's not. It's Easy.
So what does Web 2.0 actually mean? Is it just mumble jumble fancy packaging or is it in fact a new trend a new age in web surfing as we know it?
Well it is in fact a new trend. At one point surfing the web meant searching for information. We left the publishing up to the big guys. To have presense on the web you needed to know how to put up a web page. The line between publisher and viewer was a lot more distinct.
So if I had to sum up the definition of Web 2.0 in one word that word would be, simply, 'Interactivity'.
Web 2.0 = Interactivity
It is when we as a surfer interact with others using on-line platforms such as:
Social Networks - MySpace Friendster
Business Networks - SaleSpider, ApSense, Bizpreneur
Social and Gaming Networks - EVO
Forums and Message Boards Business- the Warrior Forum
Forums and Message Boards Social - MyLot
Weblogs - Squidoo! Blogger
Classifieds - Craigslist, E-bay
Social Bookmarking - del.icio.us
Communication Software - Skype
So that is it in a nutshell basically any internet site or utility that enables you to publish or share information on the internet.
