MODULE 3 TASKS

Web 2.0
Simply put, Web 2.0 is another name for "the Internet". It is basically a search engine which uses tags or keywords to find what we're looking for. It is characterised as using user-generated content. Web 1.0 on the other hand, does not support user interactive applications.
That being said, we were provided with 2 examples of link lists. The first "blinklist" features all characteristics of a web 2.0 application, tags and keywords used for searches. This application also provides the ability to create an account enabling you to contribute to the contenet, thereby allowing access to other users. It is also possible to add "friends" to your account whereby you can view their links.
The second link provided for this task was "live file store", this is a simple list of links. Although both contained the same links, this application doesn't allow user interactivity so there is less freedom to contribute.
After comparing both, I have to say that I prefer the blinklist because I am given the freedom to search in a way I am used to. If I have another thought for a keyword which might produce links to similar information, blinklist allows this. We all have different ways of thinking about things, something which blinklist takes into consideration, for example, when searching for information about "cats", one person might type in the keyword "kitten", while another person might use "cute" and yet another person might use "musicals" Live file store doesn't allow this kind of freedom.
