Web 2.0

Does it mean anything to you or do you quickly go to the Wiki page that describes it?

Web 2.0 is a combination of style and tech; better put, it is a push to develop better and user friendly interfaces. Basically, it makes use of large buttons and text, more use of vector images instead of photography, and heavy usage of CSS, JavaScript and Ajax.

Tim O'Reilly, one of the originators of this concept, describes it like this-- "You can visualize Web 2.0 as a set of principles and practices that tie together a veritable solar system of sites that demonstrate some or all of those principles, at a varying distance from that core."

Examples of the Web 2.0 approach include Andale.com, and HousingMaps.com, a site powered by Craigslist.org and Google Maps, but not officially affiliated with either. HousingMaps combines Craigslist’s classified real estate ads with Google Maps ability to quickly view satellite map. These web applications have created new services that build on existing information, data and services.

So, if the entrepreneur in you or the company you work for is able and ready to embrace the 2.0 revolution, rely on a company that will take your project to new heights. Bailey Consulting Group or WebEvents Consulting Group for starters!
