Web 2.0

What expectations does the concept of web 2.0 set?
The expectation that web 2.0 sets is easy and quick access to sites on many different categories. For example, Music, Photography, Movies, etc...

Who owns the message?
The company that owns Web 2.0 owns the site. Though it is true that other sites can post links and information to and about their site here, the company still owns the site.

How can marketers use this to their advantage?
Marketers can use this to their advantage because if someone is looking for something specific, they will check web 2.0. Having your site featured here raises the opportunity of more people seeing it. Also, if someone has a new site starting up, web 2.0 is a great place where they can get people to find out about the site.

Are “masses” better than “experts”
I do not believe that masses are better than experts. There are many topics that a majority of people might think they know a lot about, but only the experts on this subject can be certain. A great example of why masses are not better than experts is the website Wikipedia. You can post absolutely anything, and if enough people agree with you, it can become a fact on there that other people will read and believe. The truth is, it may not even be true. This is a big reason why you must be smart and extremely cautious when using the internet for research.

Using the website http://www.go2web20.net/ name and describe one website that you feel our class would benefit from using.
A site that I feel would benefit our class is one that I found under "bookmarking" It is called "Zeadoo". If you are at home, and you find a link to an image, or video that you would like to share with the class, you can just post it on your account there and easily share it with the class the next day.
