World Wide Web Celebrates it’s 20th Birthday
Are you using these popular technologies?
Today you will become acquainted with other popular technologies that you must know about for you business.
What is Tagging?
A commonly used term with Web 2.0 is tagging. Tagging is a way users can classify or organize and categorize data, and is common on many sites including social bookmarking. How it works is users attach tags to data items like web pages, their blog entries or even photographs they want classified and categorized. When you tag a blog page, you may tag it with terms like, “internet marketing” or “small business marketing”.
Web 2.0 is a client-sided application, meaning … end-users, people sitting at their computer, can categorize, tag and store data on the Web and share it with others. For example, let’s say you bookmark 3 of your favorite sites. Usually, when you visit another computer, your bookmarks will not show up when you log in. When you use Web 2.0 technologies however, you bookmark your favorite sites to public forums, so you can access them from anywhere. At the same time, anyone else can access your favorites from any computer anywhere in the world. This is a powerful and intelligent way of sharing data.
What is RSS?
This is another WEB 2.0 technology that rapidly gained popularity. RSS technology, or “Really Simple Syndication” is a tool anyone can use to tell the world at large about new blog entries or web entries. What you do, is set up your site content using RSS tools or content aggregators. What happens is any time you post new information to your page, that information is fed to people that are linked to your feed. For instance, you can subscribe to Virtual Project Consulting RSS feed and choose to read it through Google Reader so that you can follow all your favorite blogs in one place.
Other Applications
Many applications allow readers to interact with the Web pages they browse. These applications are all part of Web 2.0 technology, and include SOAP, XML, and AJAX (Asynchronous Javascript) which allows websites to communicate with the browser behind the scenes and without human interaction. These technologies allow you to interact with a web page that is live in much the same way you would interact with a page from your own computer, a page you created.
In conclusion, even though WEB 2.0 is not new anymore, people are finding new and innovative ways to use it. Strategically, you can use Web 2.0 to market your products and services and promote your business or site to millions of people around the world. Everywhere, people are taking an active interest in becoming members of a global community. You need to do this in a politically correct and decent way. Thus, Web 2.0 has become a lot more popular than it had been in the past.
