Web 2.0
“A Web 2.0 site allows its users to interact with other users
or to change website content, in contrast to non-interactive websites where
users are limited to the passive viewing of
information that is provided to them.”
Example: Wikipedia.com
Definitions – Via Wikipedia
Social Network Service“A social network service focuses on
building online communities of people who share interests and/or activities, or who are
interested in exploring the interests and activities of others. Most social network
services are web based and provide a variety of ways for users to interact, such as
e-mail and instant messaging services.
Social networking has encouraged new ways to communicate and share
information. Social networking websites are being used regularly by millions of people.”
