Freedom of Web 2.0
From my understanding of web 2.0, it is a newly introduced phenomena that aims to improve or create applications from various web developers. According to the article i found on Wired (http://www.wired.com/science/discoveries/news/2005/10/69114), entitled "Are You Ready for Web 2.0?", This is a second generation Internet that boosts creativity because applications are added to respective websites; an example is found when Zimbra, a company that developed open-source enterprise would display the calendar when the mouse goes over a mentioned date. it is also aimed at sharing collaborative information as application such as structured blogging. Tim O'Rielly, a sponsor for web 2.0 reiterates the premise of the second generation world wide web
"This architecture is based on social software where users generate content, rather than simply consume it, and on open programming interfaces that let developers add to a web service or get data."
In General, this social network consist of a number of web hosting services that allow freedom in the digital revolution.
