October 25th, 2007 — Web 2.0, Web 3.0
Semantic web is considered the next big thing on the internet and its also called Web 3.0. Its an extension of the WWW where the web content can be expressed not only in natural language but also in formats that can be read and understood by machines. This will allow better search crawls and organization of information.
Tagging which is an essential part of web 2.0 can be considered as a light weight form of Web 3.0 Tags allows a broad classification of data, and these tags are machine readable also. The number of <em> </em> tags around a keyword emphazies on the importance of that keyword according a parameter that is set by the programmer.

October 25th, 2007 — Web 2.0
This is an sentence that is found in every presentation of Tim O’Reilly (founder of O’Reilly Media and the person who coined the term Web 2.0).
Windows as a platform
Windows became a success because Microsoft opened up its win32 API to developers and developers created millions of applications that required windows to run.
Facebook as a platform
Facebook grew from being ‘just another social network” by opening up developer APIs. Developers can make use of the millions of members in Facebook by using the API.
Amazon Webservices
Amazon has got developer services for on demand storage (S3) and Processing (EC2). Every developer now has got access to an unlimited pool of storage and processing power which he can access by writing 10 lines of code.
As I write this, I am understanding some of my mistakes in approach to various businesses which can be corrected by thinking about a platform instead of an application.

October 19th, 2007 — Web 2.0
As you might be knowing, Web 2.0 is about user participation. All the web 2.0 businesses have two common strategies. This was discussed in the Web 2.0 summit in 2006. The strategies are
1. User Self Service
2. Harnessing Collective intelligence
User self service was a part of the the old web also. But the web 2.0 enhanced the user experience to a greater extent by improving the GUI. Ajax played a good role in this transaction. The web businesses were able to grow faster than any other business only because of the “Self service” aspect.
Web 2.0 businesses tap every users intelligence to improve the experience of other users. Collective intelligence of users can be seen in rating systems, tagging systems etc found in almost all modern websites. User generated content creates a lot of rubbish, but the users itself classifies and filters them.
