Web 2.0 Technologies FGTC 2008
Web 2.0 Technologies is hosted by Joe Clark, Florida State University. Joe works at the Center for Teaching and Learning
Joe talked about a lot of major Web 2.0 companies like YouTube.com and Facebook. His main emphasis was on taking user generated content of websites that can be used as a model for building unique and inventive ways to get content to users. He showed examples of how Web 2.0 are good at getting the information out to a broad audience, but also how to use the feedback from comments because it can be vital source of information too. The sites below have multitudes of user generated information using simple tagging to very specific Meta-Data to categorize content.
RSS Feeds- RSS (Really Simple Syndication) is a format for delivering regularly changing web content. Many news-related sites, weblogs and other online publishers syndicate their content as an RSS Feed to whoever wants it. RSS solves a problem for people who regularly use the web. It allows you to easily stay informed by retrieving the latest content from the sites you are interested in. You save time by not needing to visit each site individually. All your information aggregated into on manageable location using an RSS Reader.
Del.icio.us - How Delicious is a social bookmarking service that allows users to tag, save, manage and share web pages from a centralized source. With emphasis on the power of the community, Delicious greatly improves how people discover, remember and share on the Internet.
SlideShare.net- SlideShare is the best way to get your slides out there on the web, so your ideas can be found and shared by a wide audience it is to Power Point's what YouTube is to video. Help with user feedback, save exchange space having it stored in one accessible location.
Twitter- Users blast small 140 character messages good for quick broadband communication to interested parties. It can also send SMS message every time someone sends a Twitt.
Flicker – Photo sharing
YouTube.com - Hosts user-generated videos. Includes network and professional content. YouTube's Tag line is "Share your videos with friends, family and the world".
The concept of Web 2.0 is that friends, colleges, even strangers list and share information in a real time environment can lead to a greater understanding of a topic being discussed or just entertain.
In the presentation Joe showed how Ning.com which allows the user of popular Web 2.0 sites (Twitter, Flicker, blogs, ect.) to contribute specialized information that is aggregated through rss feeds onto one specially designed website. The example Joe share with us was the http://www.hurricanes08.org/ which is a user website that is built on the ning.com platform and ported huricanes08 web address. This site shows how using multiple data streams can be pulled in to make a very informative website. This particular site listed: Important Links and Contacts Latest Hurricane (static links that were places at the top of the page), Latest Hurricane News (rss news feed), Hurricane Maps (based off Google Maps and live NOAA weather info), Twitter (locals on the ground in the storm), Blog post (rss feed based on key words), Videos( YouTube), Pictures (Ficker), and other information sources.
