Web 2.0What is it?
Why does this Matter?
• In many ways the evolution of the web since 1993 has paralleled that of the car before the clutch
Creation of web content was hard and generally confined to specialists (you better have a mechanic on board)
• Web 2.0 is like the invention of the standard control set: It makes creating and sharing content as easy as driving your car.
