KEY FEATURES OF WEB 2.0:
• Click to edit Master
Folksonomy – allowstitle style
users to categorize and classify/arrange
information using freely chosen keywords (e.g. tagging).
• Rich User Interface – content is dynamic and is responsive to
user’s input. An example would be a website that shows local
content.
• User Participation – the owner of website is not the only one who
is able to put content. Others are able to place a content on their
own by means of comments, reviews, and evaluation.
• Long Tail – services are offered on demand rather than on a one-
time purchase. This is synonymous to subscribing to a data plan
that charges you for the amount of time you spent on Internet or a
data plan that charges you for the amount of bandwidth you used. 10
• C. WEB 3.0: (READ-WRITE INTELLIGENT WEB)
Click to edit Master title style
• Suggested name by John Markoff of the New York Times for the third
generation of the web.
• In this generation, all the application on web or mobile will be
upgraded with more features. It applies same principles as Web 2.0:
two-way interaction.
• Web 3.0 will be more connected, open, and intelligent, with semantic
web technologies, distributed databases, natural language processing,
machine learning, machine reasoning and autonomous agents.
• Semantic Web - provides a framework that allows data to be shared
and reuse to deliver web content specifically targeting the user.
• It is a web of data.
• Changing the web into a language that can be read and categorized
11
by the system rather than humans.

to showing style of past work. Service providers
who want to show potential clients the quality of the work they provide can
use a portfolio website to collect some of the best samples of past work
they’ve done. This type of website is simpler to build than a business
website and more focused on a particular task: collecting work samples.

MEDIA WEBSITE

content meant purely for entertainment.

a simplified form oftitle style
business websites. For
businesses that know
they need an online
presence, but don’t
want to invest a lot into
it (maybe you’re
confident you’ll
continue to get most of your business from other sources), a
simple brochure site that includes just a few pages that lay out
the basics of what you do and provide contact information may
be enough for you. 1717
NONPROFIT WEBSITE
Click to edit Master title style
In the same way that businesses need websites to be their
online presence, nonprofits do as well. A nonprofit website is the
easiest way for many
potential donors
to make donations and will
be the first place many
people look to learn more
about a nonprofit and
determine if they want to
support it.

see fit. There are wikis for
fan communities, for
business resources, and for
collecting valuable
information sources.
