Description
Introduction Web 2.0 sites and services are a new addition to the information milieu. As noted in a timeline by Reid and Gray (2007), sites such as YouTube (http://www.youtube.com), MeetUp (http://www.meetup.com), LiveJournal (http://www.livejournal.com), Blogger (http://www.blogger.com), Wikipedia (http://www.wikipedia.com), Friendster (http://www.friendster.com), Technorati (http://www.technorati.com), MySpace (http://www.myspace.com) and Facebook (http://www.facebook.com) have all launched since 1999. Unlike the earlier "Web 1.0" pages which tended to be one-way conveyers of information with users as passive recipients, the newer Web 2.0 sites such as MySpace, Facebook, Delicious (http://Delicious.com), Flickr (http://www.flickr.com), and YouTube allow users to contribute Web content and to interact with other site users. YouTube, for example, allows users not only to passively watch videos but also to actively upload videos, comment on each other's videos, assemble a collection of favorites, subscribe to channels of works by favorite creators, and indicate when their own videos are posted in response to another user's video. MySpace and Facebook similarly facilitate posting of personal profiles for networking with other users and sharing daily updates with friends, while sites such as Blogger and Wikipedia exemplify the focus on user-created written content. Time magazine highlighted this paradigmatic shift in the Web 2.0 empowerment of Internet users by selecting "YOU" as their 2006 Person of the Year (Grossman, 2006). Today's Web 2.0 users not only read the news but "write the news" within their blogs and "write the encyclopedia" through their Wikipedia edits.
