Enable Knowledge Sharing with Social Technologies

8.1 Introduction to Web 2.0

Wikipedia describes Web 2.0 as the “second generation of network-centric services available on the internet that let people collaborate and share information online in a new way – such as social networking sites, wikis, communication tools, and folksonomies.” (Wikkipedia, 2006).

Boutin (2006) outlines it as: “the web as a platform for interacting with content”, reflecting a set of online tools that enable the “aggregation” and “remixing” of content, through interfaces that combine content from different sources in a manner not possible through a single domain.

The other parts of the article are coming soon!

Repeating what others said does not tell me what you think. A blog should allow a conversation, but I want the conversation with you, not the authors of these quotes.

Please provide your comments on these quotes.
