:: Internet Strategy
The new generation of web-based communities and hosted services such as social networking sites, wikis and web services such as Google Maps and Flickr have facilitated a collaboration and sharing of content between users. O'Reilly Media describes this as the Web 2.0 movement. Building applications and services around the unique features of the Internet, as opposed to building applications and expecting the Internet to suit as a platform is the main essense of Web 2.0. So where should you begin formulizing your web 2.0 strategy?
Bruban Dictionary is our implementation of a Level 3 Web 2.0 application. Modelled on the popularity of Urban Dictionary, Bruban dictionary integrates a commenting feature and multi-tagging system that allows for discussions and collaboration.
Web 2.0 Strategies
