WEB 2.0 one more time - the future

web 2.0
Web 2.0. This term is more widely used at the moment, but what does it mean? There is no clear definition of it; actually it is the unit of ideas. To say more exactly, it is the unit of the things which a good web must have. To be concrete, there are several aspects talking about it.

Standardization. The browsers do not have to interpret codes differently anymore. Several programs must enable the access to the information on the website, this can be done with the help of XML.
Convergence. The information is common and must be accessible from any platform or program.
Utility. The information can’t be worthless; it must carry out its purposes.
Economy, Rapidity, Stability. All the web programs must perform these features. WEB is already a conditional platform; it is no longer a jumble of references and text including some images. The final user is of a great importance here. A freedom in making some actions, as well as the fast, easy and interactive browsing should be warranted.
CSS and xHTML. It is developing languages and possibilities (CSS) and the standards as well.
AJAX, FLASH, or Behind the Scenes. New technologies which make you feel you are browsing some desktop items rather than the browser of the Internet. Many actions are to be made by drag – and – drop actions, the browser does not reload the whole page, and only the dynamic content is changing. The resources of the server and the time of the user are saved in this way. Ajax increases the status of the web as a platform, not as a browser.
Blogs. The blogs is a great medium of sharing your experience and knowledge with the others, it enables you to interact with them as well.
Rss, Atom, Feeds. A possibility to keep up with one’s favorite web sites in an automated manner. It is not necessary to enter the site itself.

It could be possible to enumerate all the possible opportunities of the web 2.0, but there is no use to do that. To conclude, the most important point and idea of the web 2.0 is communication. This communication is among different people and races, nations. Interaction and sharing of the information among people is the cause which keeps them together and it seems that it has already a great impact on that. The sites such as YouTube, Wikipedia, PodCast, Blogs and so on are of the very great importance nowadays and seems to become a casual activity in communication.
