Web 2.0
Web 2.0 described and some differences of previous stages of the web.
Web 2.0 shall I call it the new and improved World Wide Web. It came about in or around 2001 when .com became so popular. There is a lot more interaction with things like social networking (Facebook, MySpace, and Twitter) and e-businesses. Any kind of computer program that creates a way for people to communicate could be considered Web 2.0 - I think (?). Back in 1996 the WWW (World Wide Web) was somewhat new and there wasn’t a lot of two way interaction taking place. In fact, it Mosaic [if I remember correctly] that was used to teach people how to use the WWW. It was a lot like placing tile pieces together to create a whole, I guess that was Web 1.0. Anyway I have read some where that Web 2.0 is just jargon which made me think it is somewhat of a hybrid. Where parts are take from here and there to create a whole.

Social bookmarking defined and advantages of social bookmarking.
Social bookmarking is done on a web site not one computer. It uses tags to bookmark a web site instead of the favorites file on one computer. It has the advantage of being used any where on any computer. It also has the a very helpful advantage and that is I don't have to find the web sites and mark them myself. I can use other peoples simply by using a subscription and tag that is one word. These tags will let me pick which web sites I want in my list at any given time. Example: I have Education as one of my subscription/tag so I can view everybody's that has that same tag. In my favorites I have to look through every web site that I have saved, too time consuming!
