Today, we are all living in a wired or digital world. The boundaries, borders, barriers no longer exist. The buzz word is global village. We can talk to people, send messages to them and get replies within seconds. All this is possible through the internet or ‘Web’. The ‘Web’ world has entered into the second phase today. Before we talk about web 2.0 technologies, let us know the difference between web 1.0 & web 2.0 technologies.
Web 1.0 technology: In Web1.0 technology, there is no user generated content. It is only 1 way communication. Literally every company, firm or organization in this digitized world has a web presence in form of website reflecting everything associated with their organizations
Web 2.0 technologies: Web 2.0 is nothing but, empowering the user to express his views, concept, perception and perspective. Earlier, there were very few writers who created web pages for a large number of readers, or masses to read through. And, one had to only depend on such expert sources for getting the required information. In this new world, the internet becomes a platform for self-expression and education that anyone one can use on their own without taking an expert's help. You do not need to depend on anyone now.
Web 2.0 refers to the second generation of the web, where the content is user generated which gives people the tools to become creators and publishers. Here, there is a two way interaction among all the users. Web 2.0 is a transformative force that's prompting companies across all industries to do business in a new way, in a better way characterized by user participation, openness, and network effects. | Research from Best Companies shows that 70% of consumers trust friends, family or other people when searching for information and ideas on products to buy.
Much of this dialogue takes place online, so it is clear that the social networking phenomenon is more than a passing fad. It is also something that HR cannot afford to ignore if it wants to keep track of the best talent.
"The Web 2.0 revolution has given employees a powerful voice and put people firmly at the heart of the workplace," says Best Companies chief executive Jonathan Austin. "Online communities are usually receptive to honest discussion, and companies willing and transparent enough to engage with them in this way can build bridges and prevent any negative online publicity having a lasting impact." | CornerWorld Launches Platform for Original People
