# 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.
