Web 2.0

Questions: Web 2.0

1. The expectation that web 2.0 set is to entertain whomever visits their site. They want the user to receive quick and easy access to whatever it may be that they are looking for. Web 2.0 also allows website owners to obtain more active users searching on their websites, which means higher success rates and popularity for their site.

2. The company that runs the site is the company that owns it , although many different websites are allowed to post and share their links onto Web 2.0, they do not own the website nor are they responsible for what appears on the website.

3. Marketers can use a website like Web 2.0 to their advantage since it's a website that is used to search anything from blogging to travelling, it is used by a wide variety of people. This lets marketers advertise and have their own personal message viewed by a range of people that perhaps wouldn't previously of seen their advertisement.

4. I don't believe that masses are better than experts because I don't agree with saying that just because the majority of people say something is one way, that it is necessarily the right way. I believe that we have experts out there who have studied and who have a background of knowledge on certain topics for a reason. Simply stating something that the majority agrees to doesn't make it right, that's why I know that experts must overrule what the masses say when it comes to important topics.
5. On the website http://www.go2web20.net/, under the tag “Photo” I found a website called Pic Juice. Pic Juice is an online photo editor which allows you to crop, resize, rotate and flip your pictures. This website would be beneficial to our class since we've just began playing around with photos, this would definitely help us.

i agree with most of the things you said. the only thing that i dont really agree with is that "web 2.0" owns the things posted on the websites. i'm pretty sure web 2.0 is just the type of website, not the actual website itself. good idea with the pictures though.
