Differences between Web 1.0 and Web 2.0

Web1.0 is viewed as something that remains “static” until it is altered or updated by the person who designed it, kind of like a advertising board displaying a poster, despite whether we like it or not it will remain the same until the publisher makes the decision to change it. Applications that use Web2.0 are designed with consideration for their intended audiences making them more “user-generated”. Someone doesn’t publish the displayed information, but rather the people using the site themselves control the content that is published and have full control over how it is edited and marketed.

Web 2.0 is service orientated, where as Web 1.0 acts as a kind of platform with new releases of it, there is no encouragement for participation it’s more about publishing and gave full power to the advertisers to call the shots, very much influenced with the idea size mattered and was dominated by the top websites.On the other end of the spectrum Web 2.0 encouraged the involvement and increased the participation of online users giving them the chance to become published within a website one way or another with the introduction of blogs, e-commerce websites, torrents etc
