Web 2.0 Learning Points

I have written about Web 2.0 before this, although it was very brief.
Here are 5 learning points from the lesson of Web 2.0.

1) Web 2.0 is a web where there is not only one group that controls the website, but everyone can share and comment on the website. An example is Facebook or Flickr, where anyone can just comment on other's posts and photos. The largest online encyclopedia, Wikipedia, is also a major example of Web 2.0, where anyone can edit and post.

2) Web 2.0 is much more social, is more organised and categorised. Thus, everything found on the web would be easier to find.

3) Web 2.0 is also very beneficial to the market, as advertisers like Google AdSense can customize what types of ads to show on your website dependent on your content of the website. This creates many opportunities for advertisers and that would maximise revenue.

4) Web 2.0 has made those so-called specialised web designers not so much in control of web content anymore, as now anyone can upload whatever they want onto the web, and the web would therefore be a more democratic personal DIY medium of communication.

5) Web 2.0 has enabled more people to collaborate through the web and has made a great leap in advancing the internet.

If the jump from Web 1.0 to Web 2.0 has been such a great leap, what would Web 3.0 be like?
