Chapter3 - new tools

We already knew what is web 2.0 in chapter 1, so let's talk a little about web 2.0 tools. You can see there are so many tools in the picture below, those tools change the nature of the Web from distributed to participatory.


Web 2.0 "is not a technological revolution; it is a social revolution. It's about enabling and encouraging participation through open applications and services with rights granted to use the content in new and exciting contexts" (Solomon & Schrum, 2007. pp46).

Those tools for word, data and business processing that companies, in some degree, web 2.0 tools replace traditional application software installed on the computer desktop. As this book mentioned "the genesisi of Web 2.0 tools is the open-source movement, whose proponents believe that the source code for programs should be available for anyone else to study, use, enhance, and distribute."

What's the difference between Web 1.0 and Web 2.0, let's take a look:
