What is web 2.0? “Web 2.0 is social, it’s open (or at least it should be), it’s letting go of control over your data, it’s mixing the global with the local. Web 2.0 is about new interfaces - new ways of searching and accessing Web content. And last but not least, Web 2.0 is a platform - and not just for developers to create web applications like Gmail and Flickr. The Web is a platform to build on for educators, media, politics, and community, for virtually everyone in fact!” There are many definitions for web 2.0; it can mean different things to different people.

Are we using any Web 2.0 applications in class? In class we are using multiple web 2.0 applications; we are using blogger, wiki’s, and blackboard for communication.
How do you feel about using these Web 2.0 applications? I like utilizing the web 2.0 applications, these applications allow me to write things and get both positive and negative feedback which helps to improve writing techniques from the review of feedbacks.
Which 3 Web 2.0 applications do you think will be the killer apps of 2007? Why? I think that one of the killer apps will be Google apps especially for mail service and file synchronization. I think wkipedia will also be a killer app because many people are still making additions to it; they current have over 1 million articles in English alone. Another killer app will be bittorrent, it offers millions of downloads both legitimate and illegitimate.

Web 2.0 is also a method by which people can be interactive with the web. It is where people can have an effect on what is seen at a site. For example, some websites use statistical information about purchases to know in what order to list the items it has for sell.
Also, the use of ASP has promoted ease of use, as far as allowing people to put things on the internet, and simplification of putting your own web site on the Internet.
I like the social aspect to the definition of Web 2.0 It is a platform not only for programmers and developers but it is a great tool for communicating in a collaborative manner.
Great run-down of Web 2.0. Web 2.0 is going to take over how users use the web everyday. Blogs, and forums and new messaging services are utilizing how people communicate today, it's simply just making it easier, and more efficient.
