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.

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.

Web 2.0

1)Using web 2.0 means that the user has to be more interactive with their computer. Many popular websites are based on information that the users have put in. We can't just sit back and read, we have to interact with the internet as well as have a fairly good understanding of how to use it.

2)The messages that we see on the internet are owned by many different people. They could be owned by the website owner, or they could be owned by the user. (ex: on blogs, facebook, or myspace, the user is the one who has put up the information.)

3)Because there is so much personal information availiable on the internet, advertisers could easily use this to help their sales. Just by reading someone's blog, you can tell a lot about them. You get an idea of their interests, their likes, dislikes and hobbies. The internet can give us a good look into many people's everyday lives.

4) I think that in wikipedia's case, experts are better than masses. Just because lots of people agree that something sounds right doesn't mean it's true. It would be nice if we could be positive that the things we look up on the internet are always true.

5)http://www.rminder.com/ would be helpful to our class because it could be like an agenda. Instead of writing dates of important things down and then probably forgetting to read them until it's too late, this website will let you enter important events and then they will send you a text message or a voice message at a predetermined time to remind you.

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.
