Also known as social networking, the social web allows you to share with your colleagues, friends, family and strangers. It allows you to share your writings, thoughts, videos, music, pictures and more.
WEB 2.0
While the old Web was about Web sites, clicks, and “eyeballs,” the new Web is about communities, participation and peering. As users and computer power multiply, and easy-to-use tools proliferate, the Internet is evolving into a global, living, networked computer that anyone can program. Even the simple act of participating in an online community makes a contribution to the new digital commons – whether one’s building a business on Amazon or producing a video clip for YouTube, creating a community around his or her Flickr photo collection or editing the astronomy entry on Wikipedia.
The following slide show, although it’s from 2006, provides a helpful explanation of the Social Web, from Wikis and RSS to Blogs, Flickr and more.
