The time before web 2.0 word was coined got web pages in the Internet which were less powerful then what we have today ‘The Internet Web Application‘. Some of the changes that we can see transparently in web
application today are in the side of usability and design. The most generalization of web 2.0 concept was making the web writable and shareable. Before Information was solely published by the web site owner and most of the users only interact with the information, though still some sites provided users to write reviews, there was not any model like collaborative, sharing and community that has been more popular these days.
Those are still the old days, many extensions from writable web has been popular now with not only ability to share content but to present ourselves to the internet virtual world with our belongings and identity or more specifically we are now part of the internet social media. All they pose the characteristics that many talks about what web 2.0 platform should have? Still the next stage of web becomes controversial.
Different People consider the next era of web application by buzzword’s like web 3.0…or semantic web etc. Some of the areas we saw changes while leaping to web 2.0 eras were
1. Technology used to deliver the final result- XMLHTTP
2. The depth of Information provided to users- MASHUPS
3. The way users use the application- SOCIAL MEDIA
4. The Business or revenue model -USER GENERATED CONTENT/ Ad/ Subscription
Another area that may be considered for the next stage in delivering the final application to the users can be:
1. Information Organization in WWW- SEMANTIC TECHNOLOGY
2. The Browser Technology- W3C STANDARD, WEB APPLICATION INTEGERATION (flock)
3. Enhancement of communication technology- BANDWIDTH, HARDWARE ACCELETOR
4. Results from the web search- SEMANTIC INDEXING, NLP
5. Business Model (Always there)- SEMANTIC ADVERTISING..
Though new concepts and technology may be implemented in the next era web application, it will not be all that new; they will still inherit characteristics from web 2.0 model with some or all of the above mentioned features included.
