Mac Forum / Country Specific / UK Mac Group / May 2008

Tough, no one is here to do your homework for you.

Oh, the irony. ;)

Go on the intarweb tubes and ask the forums. They know all things.

Web 1.0 is lots of one to many flows of information. One person (or
company) puts up a web page, many people look at it.

Web 2.0 is lots of many to many flows of information. One person (or
company or organisation) puts up a website, many people put information
(or more commonly utter drivel) on it, many people look at it.

I would draw you a diagram, as that might be some information in an easy
way for you to understand, but this is a text only newsgroup.
However, due to the incredible power of the webtubes, I was able to type
"diagram web 2.0" into the googlemonster, which swallowed, ruminated
briefly, then spewed up a whole swathe of possible diagrams.

Here's one that's probably too complicated for you to understand, but
quite comprehensive:

And here's one in nice chewy jelly jubes, which shows diagramatically
almost exactly what I said in English words at the beginning:

Although I think they show the RSS arrow going the wrong way, maybe.
