Dossier Web 2.0
Dossier (wat MEN) Web 2.0 (pleegt te noemen maar waar ik me steeds
vaker van af vraag waarom het eigenlijk het predikaat Web 2.0 heeft
gekregen).
Een groeiende verzameling van Web 2.0 gerelateerde informatie die ik op frEdSCAPEs bij de hand wil houden.
Let op! Dit is geen enkele poging om een volledig dossier samen te stellen. Voor een volledig overzicht verwijs ik dus op voorhand al graag naar allerlei andere bronnen.
Nieuwste interessante bijdrage op dit gebied:
~ Publicerende massa brengt geen heilstaat - van Peter Olsthoorn
Alvast even de laatste alinea waarin Peter een voorspelling doet die wat mij betreft nu al is uitgekomen:
Zo verwacht ik dat er in 2007 groeiende kritiek op de massapublicatie
en web 2.0 zal ontstaan als reactie op een zekere hype. Daarop volgt de
synthese: dat het fenomeen de moeite waard kan zijn als er kritische
selectie en reflectie zal plaatsvinden.
Ik denk alleen dat het dan geen Web 2.0 meer genoemd wordt en dat we overgegaan zijn tot de orde van de dag.
Definities
- Opvolger 'web 1.0'.
- De term web 2.0 werd getriggerd door post van Fred Wilson's blog A VC: Blogging 1.0 over Blogging 2.0:
- The web facilitates (in particular two-way interactions) between people. Any kind of application that facilitates the two-way communication for people is part of it.
- Dion Hinchcliffe: Review of the Year's Best Web 2.0 Explanations: Best (Or Most Interesting) Web 2.0 Definitions and Explanations
- O'Reilly's What Is Web 2.0 - The famous meme map alone is worth serious study and is the central work defining the interlocking elements of Web 2.0. O'Reilly touches on Web 2.0 as having more of a "gravitational core" than being a concrete set of technologies. He also introduces all the major planks of his vision of the next generation of the Web as a set of best practices from the first generation. A terrific read worth every minute spent on it. Finish this before starting the rest.
- Wikipedia Definition for Web 2.0 - While this entry undergoes near constant revision, I recommend a visit to see what an amalgam of opinionated contributors brings to the table for Web 2.0 definition. Devoid of hype or even many buzzwords, the entry has become somewhat disappointing but the key facts are present and is also notably lacking in major anti-hype. In the end, a balanced if slightly boring view produced by a little wisdom of the crowds.
- Richard MacManus Defines Web 2.0 in February, 2005 - It's amazing to see how far along things have come when you read the very interesting pieces hyperlinked within. Richard does a bang-up job rolling up prevailing opinion at the time from around the Web. He finally settles on Web as Platform for the time being, but of course, the concept would continue to grow.
- The "Official" Web 2.0 Compact Definition - Tim O'Reilly realized his 5 page essay would not result in a pithy definition and so he obliged everyone in October with a more compact definition. While quite the run-on sentence, the definition does capture the essence: "Web 2.0 is the network as platform, spanning all connected devices; Web 2.0 applications are those that make the most of the intrinsic advantages of that platform: delivering software as a continually-updated service that gets better the more people use it, consuming and remixing data from multiple sources, including individual users, while providing their own data and services in a form that allows remixing by others, creating network effects through an "architecture of participation," and going beyond the page metaphor of Web 1.0 to deliver rich user experiences."
- A Cumulative Web 2.0 Definition: Here is an interesting one, if more than a little obtuse. Incredibly, this is what comes up first in Google when you search on "Web 2.0 definition", presumably because the word definition is in the title and a few people have linked to it. While technically not inaccurate, it's not very complete either. I can't help wondering if partial definitions like this are a big part of the problem people are having understanding the concepts.
- Jeff Clavier Tries His Hand At Web 2.0 Definition - And does a credible job. He puts openness of data and services as job #1, then rich application experences, and then low cost of delivery using lightweight programming models and techniques. A bit of a light definition in my personal opinion but highly accessible.
- I Give Web 2.0 Explanation A Try - Though admittedly my description might seem a bit overwrought, I still stand by it. I havent' seen anything this compelling since the original Web and some of things we're seeing, like the Web 2.0 information ecosystem, will change the world forever.
- Paul Graham Weighs In On Web 2.0 - Here is one of the most recent explanations and one of the clearest headed. While I certainly don't agree with everything he says, it's an excellent antidote to some of the most extreme Web 2.0 hype, while not throwing out the baby with the bath water either. A must read.

Web 2.0 Workgroup Update.
Mike mentioned today that the Web 2.0 Workgroup that Mike, Fred Oliveira and I formed about a month and a half ago has grown to twenty blogs. We've also added a Swiki search engine (a group search with tag clouds) and categorized the blogs:
| Category |
Sites |
| Analysis & Trends |
Read/WriteWeb, Dion Hinchcliffe, Susan Mernitís Blog, Web 2.0 Explorer |
| Companies & Products |
TechCrunch, SolutionWatch, eHub |
| Design & Usability |
WeBreakStuff, Bokardo, ParticleTree, Emily Chang |
| VC & Business |
Jeff Clavier, Nivi |
| Podcasting |
PodTech, Web 2.0 Show |
| Tech & Development |
Programmable Web, CrunchNotes, Librarystuff |
| Commentary |
Scripting News, HorsePigCow |
As Mike said, our goal is to provide a list of high quality blogs that are writing about Web 2.0 trends. OK it is an exclusive group, but we're not snobs :-) So if you think you have a high quality Web 2.0 site, or know of one, then feel free to contact us (details on the site). We continue to add blogs regularly and are working on a number of ways to make the content more accessible. We provide RSS feeds for each blog and an aggregated OPML feed for those of you whoíd like to subscribe to all of them. We'll continue to add more functionality and are of course open to suggestions on how to improve the site.

Paul GRAHAM
November 2005
Does "Web 2.0" mean anything? Till recently I thought it didn't, but the truth turns out to be more complicated. Originally, yes, it was meaningless. Now it seems to have acquired a meaning. And yet those who dislike the term are probably right, because if it means what I think it does, we don't need it.
~ Paul Graham

Figure: A reason why Web 2.0, a complex, subtle, yet practical topic, needs so much explanation.
