Book: “Web 2.0”

Quote: “I think the freedom that is enabled by the Internet and what people are doing with it today is just really profound.”

 

Chapter 4

 

I expect to learn what Gina Bianchini will have to say something about her Ning.com. what is the contribution of her website to the web 2.0. Does she also has the definition of the web 2.0 or she has also the same definition like the other author does.  

Ning.Com is one of the more dynamic and user-driven network sites in the which was started by Marc Andersen who worked for Netscape in the past and Gina Bianchini a master of the Web 2.0 space. Ning.com is a platform for creating social networks under any topic that they may find interesting. Ning.com is user-friendly and it takes only a few minutes to be able to create your own network where you can post some of your content or join some already pre made networks. Cupertino was born in the Silicon Valley and remembers starting out little by little with her friend marc with the premise, “what if everybody had the opportunity to create social networks for anything?" and that has been

their driving force since they started out, diverse and very personal for any individual to be able to connect to a multitude of other interesting people, to be able help each other through a certain issue or to just have plain fun, and for free. People like putting terms on things specially in a fast paced world today with changing technology and bianchini thinks that trying to do this to Web2.0 and concentrating on complicated coordination centralization will just peg it down and is just irrelevant nowadays. all you need today is a bright idea and some follow through, which is very exciting and motivating. This could be a start to a whole way of communicating with other people that we can't even fathom today which is incredible. the web is more important than ever, with exciting new applications and sites popping up with surprising regularity and of course we can not escape the fact that people would go out of business if network sites neglected the fact that they rely on the ad sites and they have an actual choice of not allowing advertisements but still choose to go on with them and it is not that big of a deal anyway in this day and age. What's more, the companies that had lived through this changed seemed to have some things in common. the dot-com collapse marked some kind of turning point for the internet such that something had to be done so the Web 2.0 was born. the term "Web 2.0" was  accepted, there's still a huge amount of disagreement about just what Web 2.0 means, with some people saying it as a meaningless marketing buzzword, and others accepting it as the new conventional wisdom with the relentless increase in the number of social networks for every thinkable niche, need, interest, location and in every language for any and every possible purpose thinkable and some maybe too early for their time, and a market of 1.3 people online and growing, the future of it all is bright up ahead.

I have learned that she also has a similar meaning on what the web 2.o for her. The web 2.0 for her is meeting up different kind of people in the industry as well because the web 2.0 is  our generation for today and it will have an impact in our society.
