The Web
The Web (World Wide Web) consists of information organized into Web pages
containing text and graphic images. The world wide web is larger collection of
interconnected documents or content. It contains hypertext links, or highlighted
keywords and images that lead to related information. A collection of linked Web
pages that has a common theme or focus is called a Web site. The main page that all
of the pages on a particular Web site are organized around and link back to is called
the site’s home page. Sir Timothy John Berners-Lee OM KBE FRS FREng FRSA FBCS,
also known as TimBL, is an English engineer and computer scientist best known as
the inventor of the World Wide Web. He is a Professorial Fellow of Computer
Science at the University of Oxford and a professor at the Massachusetts Institute of
Technology.

• It is a platform that gives users the possibility (liberty) to control their
data.
• This is about user-generated content and the read-write web.
• People are consuming as well as contributing information through
blogs or sites.
• Allows the user to interact with the page known as DYNAMIC PAGE;
instead of just reading a page, the user may be able to comment or
create a user account. Dynamic page refers to the web pages that are
affected by user input or preference.
• Is focused on the ability for people to collaborate and share information
online via social media, blogging and Web-based communities.
Example of Web 2.0 are the following:
A. Social Networking - is the use of Internet-based social media sites to
stay connected with friends, family, colleagues, customers, or clients. Social
networking can have a social purpose, a business purpose, or both, through sites
such as:
Example
Facebook Twitter LinkedIn Google+
Pinterest Tumblr Instagram Page
B. Blogs - is a discussion or informational website published on the world
wide web consisting of discrete, often informal diary-style text entries (posts).
Posts are typically displayed in reverse chronological order, so that the most
recent post appears first, at the top of the web page.
Example
Wordpress Blogger Tumbler
C. Wikis - is a hypertext publication collaboratively edited and managed
by its own audience directly using a web browser. A typical wiki contains
multiple pages for the subjects or scope of the project and may be either open to
the public or limited to use within an organization for maintaining its internal
knowledge base.

D. Video Sharing Sites - a website that lets people upload and share their
video clips with the public at large or to invited guests.
Example:
Youtube Facebook LinkedIn Flickr
Photobucket Twitter Veoh Dailymotion V
imeoPRO [Link] Metacafe
Key Features of Web 2.0:
• Folksonomy – allows users to categorize and classify/arrange
information using freely chosen keywords (e.g. tagging).
• Rich User Interface – content is dynamic and is responsive to user’s
input. An example would be a website that shows local content.
• User Participation – the owner of website is not the only one who is
able to put content. Others are able to place a content on their own by
means of comments, reviews, and evaluation.
• Long Tail – services are offered on demand rather than on a one-time
purchase. This is synonymous to subscribing to a data plan that charges
you for the amount of time you spent on Internet or a data plan that
charges you for the amount of bandwidth you used.
C. Web 3.0: (Read-write intelligent web)
• Suggested name by John Markoff of the New York Times for the third
generation of the web.
• In this generation, all the application on web or mobile will be upgraded with
more features. It applies same principles as Web 2.0: two-way interaction.

• Web 3.0 will be more connected, open, and intelligent, with semantic web
technologies, distributed databases, natural language processing, machine
learning, machine reasoning and autonomous agents.
• Semantic Web - provides a framework that allows data to be shared and reuse
to deliver web content specifically targeting the user.
• It is a web of data.
• Changing the web into a language that can be read and categorized by the
system rather than humans.
Types of websites:
• eCommerce Website is a website people can directly buy products
from you’ve probably used a number of eCommerce websites before,
most big brands and plenty of smaller ones have one. Any website that
includes a shopping cart and a way for you to provide credit card
information to make a purchase falls into this category.
• Business Website is any website that’s devoted to representing a
specific business. It should be branded like the business (the same logo
and positioning) and communicate the types of products and/or
services the business offers.
• Entertainment Website If you think about your internet browsing
habits, you can probably think of a few websites that you visit purely
for entertainment purposes.
• Portfolio Website are sites devoted to showing examples of past work.
Service providers who want to show potential clients the quality of the
work they provide can use a portfolio website to collect some of the
best samples of past work they’ve done. This type of website is simpler
to build than a business website and more focused on a particular
task: collecting work samples.
• Media Website collect news stories or other reporting. There’s some
overlap here with entertainment websites, but media websites are
more likely to include reported pieces in addition to or instead of
content meant purely for entertainment.
• Brochure Website are a simplified form of business websites. For
businesses that know they need an online presence, but don’t want to
invest a lot into it (maybe you’re confident you’ll continue to get most

of your business from other sources), a simple brochure site that
includes just a few pages that lay out the basics of what you do and
provide contact information may be enough for you.
• Nonprofit Website In the same way that businesses need websites to
be their online presence, nonprofits do as well. A nonprofit website is
the easiest way for many potential donors to make donations and will
be the first place many people look to learn more about a nonprofit
and determine if they want to support it.
• Educational Website The websites of educational institutions and
those offering online courses fall into the category of educational
websites. These websites have the primary goal of either providing
educational materials to visitors or providing information on an
educational institution to them.
• Infopreneur Website websites overlap a bit with business and
eCommerce websites, but they represent a unique type of online
business. Infopreneurs create and sell information products. That
could be in the form of courses, tutorials, videos or eBooks.
• Personal Website Not all websites exist to make money in some way
or another. Many people find value in creating personal websites to
put their own thoughts out into the world. This category includes
personal blogs, vlogs, and photo diaries people share with the world.
• Web Portal are often websites designed for internal purposes at a
business, organization, or institution. They collect information in
different formats from different sources into one place to make all
relevant information accessible to the people who need to see it. They
often involve a login and personalized views for different users that
ensure the information that’s accessible is most useful to their
particular needs.
• Wiki or Community Forum Website Most people are familiar with wikis
through the most famous example of one out there: Wikipedia. But
wikis can be created on pretty much any subject you can imagine. A
wiki is any website where various users are able to collaborate on
content and all make their own tweaks and changes as they see fit.
There are wikis for fan communities, for business resources, and for
collecting valuable information sources.
