The best "Web 2.0" definition
Posted by Curt Hibbs Sat, 01 Oct 2005 07:00:00 GMT
Tim O’Reilly just posted the clearest and most concise definition of Web 2.0 that I have seen:
Web 2.0 is the network as platform, spanning all connected devices; Web 2.0 applications are those that make the most of the intrinsic advantages of that platform: delivering software as a continually-updated service that gets better the more people use it, consuming and remixing data from multiple sources, including individual users, while providing their own data and services in a form that allows remixing by others, creating network effects through an “architecture of participation,” and going beyond the page metaphor of Web 1.0 to deliver rich user experiences.
