Chapter 7

I expect to learn what Richard will have t say about the web 2.0. what is his opinion on what web 2.0. I will learn things about what does really in the web 2.0 and how important for people to know about the web 2.0.

Richard MacMabus founded and runs read/write Web. In september of 2005, he had also started the web 2.0 workgroup along with fred oliviera and michiel arrington. He has worked for companies such as Zdzed, Micro Media corporation and more. According to this chapter, the web 2.0 is a web based application that people will used it and will learn from it. Some would say that they will learn and somehow it’s the source of their income.

According to the book Richard has been involved with the web 2.0 since the web 2.0 had became popular in our world today. And according to the book richard had an insight into what web 2.0 has been and what web 2.0 really is for other people.

In april 2003 richard start writing about the web technology. And according to richard in that time their was no web 2.0 or in lay mans term web 2.0 is not that popular. So richard started writing about the web 2.0 thing and he started writing about it while it is not popular.  He started writing about people who loves to do interesting things in technology and developing stuffs. In this time richard was a web manager of a certain company that he was working for.

Read and write web is about web technology and it covers news and analysis. It tries to cover quality and pulse. It has an emphasis on analysis and explaining the latest trends around web 2.0. if they write about the product they make sure that they compare it to other product so that competition will be present. In this situation the company’s products will get better and better because of its compatition.

According to Richard it is very hard for him to define what web 2.0 really is. Web 2.0 became difficult to keepa adding more into the site. In the early years it was great way for people to discover all the sites and all the people that are talking about the web 2.0. and richar also mentioned web 2.0 involves social aspects, mushup and more.

What I read about the book is that the most important thing that he named the web 2.0 or the read/write web is the fact that the current era of the web can be contributed to by anybody. Everybody can create their own content and they can also personalize its content , whereas the last era of the web was people publishing things to the web and you went onto the web to read it, with the current era of the web anyone can contribute and can write their own content or launch application on the web. Enyone can write their own content but it is hard to choose or to focus on the best content.

Some of the statements that is in the book trying to say that there are also misunderstanding about the web 2.0. some of the content of the web 2.0 are rubish and has full of tricks people will not support in this kind of content. And people will know think about the web 3.0 because of this reason. They think of the semantic web, the intelligence web, where they can filter out the information more so than we can at the moment. so this is one of the challenges of the web 2.0 at this time. The semantic web is possible for example of a company’s product that made it possible is the AJAX. AJAX website made it a lot more interactive. A lot companies are trying to incorporate semantic web features into their products.

Premiun content is kind a lost for the web. It is because it is obvious that if the web does not have a content that is not write for the veiwers the veiwers will not have a good time in viewing the website.

I have learned from this chapter on what Richard is trying to say about the web 2.0. for him it is very important to have a quality content on the book that we are reading about it is nice that people will read and they will learn on what they are reading.

Chapter 8

I expect to learn what will Tj Kang will say about the web 2.0 is. What can he say about the web 2.0 .  We should able to know the changes of software were used and how they distribute it to the consumers.

We were about to change the way software was used and distributed. We were going up against this 800 lb gorilla in Redmond, washigton, according to the writer of this chapter. Online application is gaining its popularity and people will now has the ability to learn from it. Online application will help the users to make their lives easier.

According on what I read, TJ Kang is the CEO of ThinkFree, where he leads the strategic direction of the company. He has worked with ThinkFree since 1999, when he founded it. Like many people in the Web 2.0 world, TJ has a background that helped lead to what is now considered a prominent Web 2.0 site. TJ talks about his background, about ThinkFree, and about technology. He started his business in his last year in college. He figured out how is the intelligence of computer in our world today and he said he can automate the technology that is present today.

 

According to Tj it is hard for him to compete to Microsoft, as time goes by competing against microsoft gets more difficult and difficult, it is harder for him than he thought of then he thought of creating a business model that creates a software and to sell it to hardware vendors for bundling. He change to provide office productivity as a service.

 

He created the application service provider or the ASP. And it also became popular, there was several companies that want it as their application. They call it or they consider the software as a service for different kinds of company that they want a software that will make their lives easier.

 

Some of his competitors are not that good bbut if he work on his creation well he will gain competitive advantage over the other software developers. And time will come his competitors will get better and better, they will keep trying in order for them to get better.

 

People will also change how they work in their respective workplace. When it changes definitely people will change how they work in their workplace.

 

According to Tj, they asked him what web 2.0 really is for him, he said that there is no correct definition of a web 2.0. web 2.0 is being used in a lot of ways. And for him web 2.0 will have its own definition in every individual who works for it. He can connect it in the work of the thinkfree system. Thinkfree system has its own definition.

 

And according to Tj the features that we know about this chapter is that everything will change and it is temporary. It will have some changes and have real changes taking place in an area of the market that have been stagnant for the last 15 years.

 

I have learned from this chapter that all of the things that is happening in the web 2.0 is all temporary in our rime because the era of web 3.0 is know or soon will be present because it is hard for him to understand what is the thing with web 2.0 because he believes that web 2.0 is temporary.

Quote: “web 2.0 is a course of correction”

 

Chapter 9

 

I expect to learn what Patrick crane wants to say about the web 2.0. In the other chapter of the book all of the authors or the writers about the book has its own definition on what the web 2.0 is. I expect to learn what can Patrick say about the web 2.0. will he say the same thing that the web 2.0 has its own definition in different people who used it or will he have a different definition.

 

Web 2.0 is a course of correction according to Patrick crane.It waeves the Social Fabric Back Together again you can now consume or share things, and discuss them, interpret them and ultimately get that lens on the world, and its not just your own individual perceptions and observations anymore its back to their old way. This was said by Patrick crane.

 

Patrick crane have benn working for B2C marketing for about 13 years. He have worked on trying to make sense of the new and high edge technology for the consumer and by his whole carreer. He had done many technologies in different countries, one of this is the Vodafone and recently in four years in yahoo. For him web 2.0 is the advent of the individual publisher and the advent of the group consumption and interpretation of media. In the yahoo company he integrated the web 2.0 space. Then the linkedln came along. Linkedln is a professional networking site, it uses many of the technologies and capabilities of the social networked but basically it connects all professional together in order for them to remain its communication. This is for them in enabling to accomplish tasks, get information about their market and their industry, to do research and getting things done properly and in order.

 

According to Patrick, web 2.0 is a fumdamental course direction for the internet. And he explained further that web 2.0 is the advent of the individual publisher and the advent of the group consumption and interpretation of the media. He believes the way that we all used to consume media and information coming at us was as a group.

 

Patrick considers that the web 2.0 as a new technology that solves age old problem. Which is maintaining human relationship alive and will be staying connection like what the internet is providing for us right know. And people will not say about that they are tired of what to think, they mean that the web 2.0 will serve us as out communication service in all our needs in life. Web 2.0 has its definition that simply means connecting everybody even they are far away from home.

 

And one thing that he noticed about the in working in the space or the web 2.0 space is that there is that “ pent up desire among everybody people to say, hey am a bit tired of people of what to think.: this is being shaped this way and of reading newspapers that have a particular political bias or an agenda. He beilives that the television and media advertisements will end up in the trash can, they are in trouble in keeping their businesses alive or remain in the service of the people.

 

One of the ability of the web 2.0 is the ability to mix and remix and it is trying to teach us how to get things done. And it is teaching us how to be creative in the use of the web 2.0. in this situation there are more professionals who are joining the linkedln every second of the day. Because they want to learn what is in the software or in the application. The web 2.0 makes the processes a lot more easier or what can we say it is precise indoing the things done. If people will learn from it it will have a better business ethic in the world.

 

Patrick has a different definition on what web 2.0 is. He believes id people will be aware of this application businesses in the industry will be a lot more better than anything is expected.
