Web 2.0

If you talk about web 2.0 you will get different responses based on when that person actually started to use the net. While running a website drop shipping products in the 90's my partner and I saw the dot com boom come and go. It was manly based on potential hopes for the future to be the first with this new internet idea(sort of like a first round draft pick getting more than a proven player). Some made it big but most ended up crashing because all markets will peak. Having those static webpages with nice content and search engine submission kept us in the game. Webpages shifted from static to flash driven and the start of 2.0. Web 2.0 became more of an interactive platform allowing the user and the publisher more real time contact with video,I.M. chats, streaming video and blogs to name a few. The user has now become a content provider and they have unlimited avenues for self expression. I spend more time online than I do watching t.v. Reality tv is a platform controlled by a few, web 2.0 is controlled by the masses, the new tv. As we move along we will witness the lines of internet and tv blur becoming one and we all will have a chance to be involved.
