Taking Advantage of Web 2.0

September 21, 2007 at 8:40 am

This is another one of those blogs for my web marketing class..

There are many different technologies that belong to Web 2.0, some of them being:

• Rich Internet application techniques, optionally Ajax-based
• Cascading Style Sheets to separate presentation from content
• Semantically valid HTML markup and microformats
• Syndication and aggregation of data in RSS or Atom feeds
• Human readable URLs
• folksonomies (in the form of tags or tagclouds, for example)
• Wiki or forum software to support user generated content
• use of Open source software, such as the LAMP solution stack
• XACML over SOAP for access control between organisations and domains
• Weblog publishing
• mashups, merging content from different sources
• REST or XML Webservice APIs

I’m taking advantage of some Web 2.0 technologies as we speak: I am blogging, my blog has valid HTML markup and semantic code, a RSS feed, and uses CSS for style. Oh, and I believe Wordpress is somewhat considered open source blogging software. Sweet.
