Apollo Hosting- Company Blog

Ever since I started writing for sites, I keep hearing about web 2.0 and have been wondering for sometime now. Being the casual computer that I was, my mind kept saying “Maybe that’s a new version of an internet browser!” Until finally one day I decided to logon to the internet and find out what exactly it means.

According to Wikipedia, web 2.0 is a term coined to mean the new trend used in web design and the sharing of information in the World Wide Web. It aims to utilize the potential of the internet to reach a global audience so marketing is not only more widespread but also cheaper.

Web 2.0 is not just about retrieving information from the internet; it is also about allowing end users to access software from their browsers. Aside from this, site owners can now allow other users to edit information on their website in the instance of errors. Web 2.0 builds networks and works on the principle of collective intelligence.

Today, whenever I hear news about Web 2.0, I remember a friend saying “This is no longer the age of information, we have so much of it already; this is the age when we need inspiration so we know what we’ll do with the information we already have.” With Web 2.0, this is easier to achieve.
