What is Web2.0?
This is a very different to the original Web 1, whereby it was controlled by people who could upload information on the net, without others being able to contribute. Out of this came Web 2, which allows everyone to upload, comment, contribute, interact and be apart of a global information network.
Web 2 allows individuals to communicate through using various tools on line, e.g. google docs, facebook and flickr to build upon relations and enables people to connect with each other, regardless of geographical location.
In today's session I looked at iGoogle. The first step meant I had to choose a layout for my page and tick the relevant boxes highlighting my personal interests. By doing this iGoogle generated gadgets for me to view according to my interests, e.g. news (international) and 'artist of the day'. By having created this page, it allows me to access areas of interest at a quick glance and each day new headlines etc are available for me to use. iGoogle also allows me to personalise the space by adding gadgets downloaded from the website.
