Build web 2.0 applications

Web 2.0 encapsulates the idea of the proliferation of interconnectivity and interactivity of web-delivered content. With Web 1.0, the website providers was adding content to the website using content managements system.

New generation web sites are generating contents from users, like blogs, forums and community sites are top. This allow to increase the user interaction with the website and to help to build content-rich websites. Web 2.0 aims to get more interaction and encourage users to spent more time on the portal.

Wikipedia is a content rich website but the interaction is very less compare to any community sites like Facebook, hi5 and orkut. So the business owner strategy will be how to make or modify the product with “content-rich” and “with more user spent time”. This is really challenging job. But careful watch and analyse on the current users will help to increase the interaction.

Web 2.0 websites allow users to do more than just retrieve information. More freedom for user’s, which will make any one happy!!!. Thus users add values to the website.

Technologies like AJAX, XML-XSLT and RSS helped portal developer to build user-friendly websites.

Now the time has to come to give “freedom for users”

Thanks,
