Web 2.0 is a buzzword commonly used to encompass diverse and novel processes on the World Wide Web. Although predominantly a marketing term, some of the key attributes associated with Web 2.0 include the emergence of social networks, two-way communication, various “glue” techniques, and substantial diversity in content types. Although most of Web 2.0 runs on the same platform as 1.0, there are some key discrepancies. Our objective is to identify the elementary differences that lead to characterize the properties of interest in 2.0.
Web 2.0 falls in love with a combination of designs on the Web in recent years. The precise definition is subtle and it is difficult to categorize with the binary label “Web 1.0” or “Web 2.0”. But there is a clear separation between a set of extremely popular Web 2.0 sites, like Facebook and YouTube, and the old Web. These separations are visible when managed along a variety of axes, such as the structural, technological, and sociological.
One of the main differences between Web 1.0 and Web 2.0 is that content creators were very few in Web 1.0 and the vast majority of users served simply as content consumers, while any user can be a content generator. on Web 2.0 and various technological aids. they have been added to increase the content generation potential.
Another difference between Web 2.0 and Web 1.0 may be based on time. The term “Web 2.0” was coined around 2004, and many of the first genuine Web 2.0 sites began to progress in late 2003 and early 2004. Websites that have changed somewhat in structure since the early 1990s 2000 and earlier can be counted as Web 1.0 (like IMDB).
A key feature of Web 2.0 is that these sites encourage users to spend as much time as possible on your site. They offer strong incentives to increase the stay on the site. In Web 1.0, most websites have links to external sites, and users can easily follow those links to other sites. The main reason for this is that most Web 1.0 sites tend to cover a single topic and do not require users to log in to access them. On the other hand, Web 2.0 sites encourage on-site activities, typically requiring users to log in and create links to others on the site.
Web 1.0 sites were for one-way communication, while Web 2.0 sites build a two-way communication medium. Web 1.0 was autocratic and top-down. On the other hand, Web 2.0 is democratic and bottom-up. Instead of the New York Times 1.0 website listing the top stories of the day, Digg.com, Buzz, and Yahoo.com describe the stories users voted most important.
Web 1.0 sites were clearly meant to be read passively. Web 2.0 sites entice participation, voting content up or down, rating it, commenting on it, and submitting new posts. By 2000, Amazon.com allowed users to review books, but today users can participate in many different ways, such as creating product listings, writing product guides, and editing wiki articles (Amapedia). In 2000, Amazon used its sites to sell the products it bought. With Web 2.0, Amazon now allows you to list and sell your own new and old books and products through its website.
Web 1.0 sites were static and rarely changed while Web 2.0 sites were dynamic and changed every hour or even more frequently, weighting all those user actions. Web 1.0 sites were closed sites, while Web 2.0 sites are collaborative sites.
The table below highlights the distinguishing features between Web 2.0 and Web 1.0 and compares how things have changed since the web culture collapsed.
