Webpage
A hypertext document connected to
the World Wide Web.
Web 1.0
Static (also known as flat page or
stationary page) in the sense that the
page is “as is” and cannot be
manipulated by the user. The content is
also the same for all users.
Web 2.0
It allows users to interact with the
page: instead of just reading a page,
the user may be able to comment or
create a user account. Web 2.0 also
allows users to use web browsers
instead of just using their operating
system.
Features of Web 2.0
1. Folksonomy
It allows users to categorize and
classify/arrange
information
using
freely chosen keywords (e.g., tagging).
Popular social networking sites such as
Twitter, Instagram, Facebook, etc. use
tags that start with the pound sign (#).
This is also referred to as hashtag.
2. Rich User Experience
Content is dynamic and is
responsive to user’s input. An
example would be a website that
shows local content. In the case of
social networking sites, when logged
on, your account is used to modify
what you see in their website.
3. Long Tail
Services are offered on demand rather
than on a one-time purchase. In certain
cases, time-based pricing is better than
file-size-based pricing or vice versa.
4. User Participation
The owner of the website is not the
only one who is able to put content.
Others are able to place a content of
their own by means of comment,
reviews, and evaluation.
5. Software as a Service
Users will subscribe to a software
only when needed rather than
purchasing them. This is a cheaper
option if you do not always need to
use a software.
6. Mass Participation
It is a diverse information sharing
through universal web access. Since
most users can use the Internet,
Web 2.0’s content is based on people
from various cultures.
Web 3.0
Web 3.0 or Web3 is the third
generation of the World Wide Web
(WWW). Currently a work in
progress, it is a vision of a
decentralized and open web with
greater utility for its users.
