1.0

That will be my entry because that, as I understand it, is the difference between Web 1.0 and Web 2.0
and I have read all the posts explaining the compo since Fraser announced it

# I don't really get it either but
it but it seems to be just new-fangled websites

Web 1.0 is stuff like homepages, banner ads, directory structures on listing sites

Web 2.0 is stuff like blogging, google ad-words, tagged information

# I know what a blog is
and Google ad-words? is that like the front page that displays ads according to what topics it finds on that page?

Tagged information? Erm, like the label on a tin of beans?

Edit: Aah I give up. I will let this weeks's compo pass me by.

# Not really
Web 1.0 is static information, Web 2.0 allows the user to pick and mix the information they want. Furthermore Web2.0 is also web based applications with collaboration options - as in you go to a web based text or image editor, edit stuff and send it on to others to ammend and comment on it. Makes the whole process a lot quicker and independent of hardware or location.

A good example for b3tans would be pixoh.com/ where you can load any picture from the web, or upload one and manipulate and optimise it without photoshop. Needs "add kitten" option though.

Another example would be AJAX sketch: www.ajaxsketch.com/

That a lot of twunts hype web2.0 beyond recognition was sadly enough to be expected.

# As I understand it, the difference is like this:
Web 1.0 
user 1 ------ info 1
   |
    ------- info2
              |
user 2 ------
   |
    ---------info 3
Web 2.0
       ------- user 2----
      /          |       \
user 1 -------info1----info5
        \       /   \  /    |
         ---info2--info3    |
        /       \   /       |
user 3 --------info4----- user4
It's all about making the web more of an actual "web" than making it a simple link between the source of information and the person requesting it
umm, does this help?

# spot on in terms of information collaboration
del.icio.us for example made all my bookmarks redundant
