Web 2.0 questions

What expectations does the concept of web 2.0 set?
The concept sets the expectation of immediate entertainment, sometimes even allowing users to pick and choose what catches their attention based on what they have subscribed to. It sets the expectation of convenience as the website makes communication easier, and allows people to market to a larger audience.
Who owns the message?
For the most part, the message is still owned by the company that runs and administrates the site. However, it is made up of the opinions and creations of anyone else.
How can marketers use this to their advantage?
Marketers can use this to their advantage, because if the site receives a lot of hits, they can run advertisements in order to get their product exposure.
Are “masses” better than “experts”?
I believe that just because the majority of people agree on something, it does not automatically become fact. Experts must know something or else they wouldn't qualify to be experts in the subject.
Using the website http://www.go2web20.net/ name and describe one website that you feel our class would benefit from using.
Pixlr.com is an online image editor that is free and easy to use, with many different options. This is beneficial for our class b.
ecause we often post pictures on our classroom blog and this website provides us another option for resizing and editing our pictures and advertisements.

I agree with your opinions, you had very well thought out answers. Nice site reference too.

Sorry, blogger despises me to an absolute maximum, so I had to delete the earlier comment.
