Main difference between Web 1.0 and Web 2.0
|
| Web 1.0 | Web 2.0 |
| One-way | Two-way |
| Authoritarian | Democratic |
| Passive | Active |
| Static | Dynamic |
| Closed | Collaborative |
Web 1.0 is often too authoritarian and top-down.
They are websites that only allows you to 'Read-only'.
The best examples are the many static websites which appeared during the .com boom.
There's no active communication or informative flow from the web users to the web master
Web 2.0 is democratic and bottom-up.
Instead of the New York Times Web 1.0 site telling you what the important stories of the day were, Digg.com and Buzz.Yahoo.com shows the stories users have voted the most important.
Also, social networking sites like Twitter, YouTube, Facebook are also great examples of Web 2.0 sites.
As you can see from the diagram above, webmasters and user interaction no longer depends on direct means of communication.
A whole new system of social interaction is created using simple syndication, such as RSS feeds.
Web 1.0 sites are usually static and are rarely updated (except for news sites),
but Web 2.0 sites are dynamic and change constantly,
reflecting the inputs of the web users like you and I.
CNN : Uses both Web 1.0 and Web 2.0
CNN.com is one of the leading Web 1.0 news website in the world.
In order to catch up with times and allow for more interactivity, it now has a sister website - iReport.com
iReport.com allows web users to submit their videos to the site,
and CNN will then select some of these videos to be posted on the main website, CNN.com.
