Examples - Web 2.0

On September 30, 2005, Tim O'Reilly wrote a proposal summarizing his view of Web 2.0. This mind map (below, constructed by Markus Angermeier http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Image:Web_2.0_Map.svg) sums up some of the features of Web 2.0, with example sites and services included.


We can also get a better understanding of the revolution of Web 2.0 from Web 1.0 using this example:

Double Click --> Google AdSense
Ofoto -->Flickr
Akamai --> BitTorrent
mp3.com--> Napster
personal --> blogging
Britannica Online --> Wikipedia
page views --> cost per click
The list goes on...
