Double-u Eeh Bee two point oh.
1. Web 2.0 sets the expectations the Internet can be used for anything. Such that, anyone can post a blog, or create a website with ease. This expectation means that we can communicate with people from Africa, or that people in Alaska can communicate with those in Africa. Web 2.0 creates a connection for everyone to everything, with ease. The fact that everyone can post anything makes us think about if what we read is true, or just someone’s opinion... and should you trust this person’s opinion?
2. In my opinion I don’t think the message is owned by anyone, but yet it is shared. Those who posted must have known in some sense that by posting their information or ideas for all to see that it was never going to be “theirs” again, but yet everyone’s to use when they want. The message is a contribution of many people’s thoughts, meaning everyone maybe has a little piece of it…
3. Marketers can use this to their advantage because it helps get further inside people’s minds, by knowing their opinions they post, or who’s opinions they want to subscribe to. It shows how people’s minds can be corrupted because of how we know longer want to think for ourselves but instead would rather be told it. As well as letting us decided what’s right and what’s wrong, but who are we judge these things, when we don’t really know anything about it?
4. No, masses are not better than experts. An expert defined as, a person who has special skill or knowledge in some particular field, meaning someone who is an expert in science would have a more factual web page than someone who decided that they were going to make a science web page for fun. Experts have perfected their craft and therefore are way more trusted, and have that right to be trusted, they studied, we haven’t, we have no justification to say we know everything about biomechanics.
5. The website that I found is called Instacalc, it is an online calculator. Faster than excel and easier than a calculator, as the answers appear as you type. This calculator can be embedded into your website or link it in your blog, as well as browsing through the different types of calculators. The various types of calculators that it features are: BMI, Unit conversion, Home Loan, Salary, Programming, Website earnings, Website bandwidth, YouTube analysis, video game prices, country populations, zune vs ipod and more. Our class would benefit from using this because it would help you formulate answers faster while doing math homework, or even science, with ease. Also the fact that just by clicking you can change what it is calculating, and it would certainly help you be much faster while calculating.

Web 2.0
1. The expectation for the concept of Web 2.0 provides easy access to anyone who has Internet. This new concept allows anyone to use to web – not just specialists. It is quick and simple to use. People can access almost everything they please and can create their own sites which others would also be free to browse due to the simple formatting; instead of the old complicated ways of the web.
2. The message of the web would be owned by the person who created their site. Meaning, the possible host/administrator of the website, or whom posted the information or created the site.
3. Marketers can use this greatly to their advantage. Since everything is easily accessible, marketers can sponsor certain popular sites to get their advertisement or message onto that site. That way, whoever spots that certain site may see the advertisement or message as well.
4. Masses can be better than experts, and vice versa. Experts can help the web be more controlled and insure safe and secure information. Although, the downfall of that would be a less easy accessible, quick and free internet. People would be limited on what they want, and with experts controlling the web, the mass majority of people may not be as interested in the web. People go on the internet to seek freedom – not to be controlled once again by someone beyond them.
5. Filemail.com is a website that students could be able to use if they wish to email larger files to themselves. This would be helpful because Hotmail and many other email hosts limit you to a certain amount of memory that could be uploaded. With filemail.com, students can send large files to themselves more easily from school to home, or just among friends.

What expectations does the concept of web 2.0 set?
It sets the expectations for entertainment, interactivity and easy accessibility.
Who owns the message?
The viewers own the message because they are the ones commenting and deciding what they like and don't like to hear.
How can marketers use this to their advantage?
Marketers can use this to their advantage because they use the website to advertise products to that particular fan base-which could be thousands of people.
Are “masses” better than “experts”
I do not believe that masses are better than experts. Masses don't know as much as experts, and can make any fact up just as long as they all agree. It would be better to know the correct facts than to make up your own facts and really know nothing.
Using the website http://www.go2web20.net/ name and describe one website that you feel our class would benefit from using.
octopz.com- Advanced Online Collaboration Octopz is a online service that facilitates online collaboration, in either synchronous or asynchronous environments through the use of digital media, web conferencing, VoIP and content management technologies.

web 2.0
Web 2.0
1. The web 2.0 is expected to allow many people to do many things. It is expected to be able to be used by everybody, and everybody is expected to use its information and add some of there own. The web 2.0 is expected to be easier to understand so, the web will no longer be used only by geeks with web codes but, it can be used by anyone and everyone.
2. The web 2.0 is not owned by one single person but it is shared by everyone. Every single person who has access to the web can obtain "The Message" or they can create there own message. So no one owns the message, but everyone owns the message. The message is shared.
3. Since everyone is viewing and distributing "The Message" and all the people are coming to one source [the web] to view "The Message", marketers can place there ads near or with "The Message". This practically ensures that your voice [or your ad] will be heard and since it is the marketers job to get people to see [or hear] there ads, "The Message" is the perfect place to put there ads. Marketers are going crazy over "The Message".
4. Masses and experts are both good and neither one is better then the other. It depends on what you are looking for. If you are writing an opinion essay or you just want to see the opinions of other people on certain subject then masses are better because there are more people who argue opinion rather then facts. On the other hand, you can use an expert if you need to find fact and knowledge that is proven. Experts can be very helpful for school reports. So, are masses or experts better? That all depends on what you are looking for.
5. http://www.whozat.com/ Whozat.com is a person search engine. It can be used to find virtually anyone in the world. The website asks for you to type in a name, then it looks for the name in many different websites and lets you choose from the best resources from these different websites. The websites that it searches are : Yahoo.com, YouTube.com, Flickr.com, Wikipedia.com, Friendster.com, Myspace.com , Facebook.com , IMDb.com and linkedin.com. This website would be perfect for looking up famous people, relatives, classmates and friends. I can also be used to find out information on people for etc. class reports or personal gain.

Web 2.0
What expectations does the concept of web 2.0 set?
The expectations are that web 2.0 provides quick and easy access to our needs in the web world. Its expected to make things easier for us, allowing us to use the web as we please. Its also expected to allow us to edit the web as we please, not always the best thing to do, but for things like personal websites and blogs, instead of complicated html coding, now its just point and click.
Who owns the message?
People would say the message is owned by the person responsible for posting the message, but ultimately the true ownership goes to the website hosts, the administrative authority that is displaying your message on its site. Different people have different opinions on the matter though, so there is no definite answer to this question.
How can marketers use this to their advantage?
Marketers can use web 2.0 to advertise their products. If a site is popular, they will pay the site owner to host their advertisements on the site. This way, the people that use the site are exposed to the ads.
Are “massses” better than “experts”
I don't believe that just because the majority believes in one thing, it makes it right. Masses are not better than experts, especially in the case of web. Sites like wikipedia are never safe for information, where as official sites about one particular subject edited by an expert are much more useful. Besides, without the experts you wouldn't have web 2.0 anyways, so give the experts some credit.
Using the website http://www.go2web20.net/ name and describe one website that you feel our class would benefit from using.
I know we're only supposed to do one, but I found a couple.
passado.com is a social networking community that lets you easy access to blogging, photo sharing, forums and broadcasting. So instead of having to use five different sites for our media studies purposes, we could just use one.
vuvox.com is an online service that lets you create your media in the easiest way possible. Theres also an express way to build your presentation with content from RSS feeds. Real easy point and click access.
humyo.com is an online storage service for all your files. Back up your files or just store them, and access your data anywhere. Probably my favourite site yet. Did I mention its free?
