Web 2.0 | Web Qubed | The Quantum Web

 

Colleagues/
 
I am pleased to announce the availability of a Revised and Corrected
Version of My Presentation given earlier this month at the Web 2.0 and
Libraries / Seminar / Rome, Italy / March 6 2008

 

>> The Participatory Web: Web 2.0 and The Future of The Library <<

 

As characterized by Wikipedia, "'Web 2.0' describes the changing trends
in the use of World Wide Web technology and web design that aim to
enhance creativity, communications, secure information sharing,
collaboration and functionality of the web"
[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Web_2.0]

 

Such 'participatory' technologies include not only blogging (e.g.
Blogger), photo-sharing (e.g. Flickr), social bookmarking (e.g.
Delicious), but folksonomies (e.g., tagging), online social networks
(e.g., Facebook), video-sharing (e.g., YouTube), and wikis (e.g.,
Wikipedia).


In this presentation we provide an overview of several significant Web
2.0 technologies and profile numerous examples of libraries worldwide
that have implemented these interactive technologies in their efforts to
enhance collaboration and communication with their respective
communities.

 

We conclude with a profile of discussion of WebQubed - The Mixed and
Mashed Web / MixedUp Web AND introduce the >> Quantum Web << , our
vision of the future of the Web after WebQubed.
