Web 2.0 , Interactive websites and U
Web2.0 , Intelligent web , Interactive web ?
What you should know about web2.0 is what is it all about and what benefit will you get if you adhere to the web2.0 standards and technologies for your website.
According to wikipedia, the definition is
Web 2.0 is a term describing the trend in the use of World Wide Web technology and web design that aims to enhance creativity, information sharing, and, most notably, collaboration among users. These concepts have led to the development and evolution of web-based communities and hosted services, such as social-networking sites, wikis, blogs, and folksonomies.
The term Web 2.0 is coined during the first O'Reilly Media Web 2.0 conference in 2004 which suggests that web2.0 does not refer to any specifications in technical terms. It does show some new ways to use the webs to those who use it ( web and software developers and engineers) along with the end user ( all net surfers).
In terms of user experience and business web2.0 is a creative and effective tool for those who are website owners by providing the interactive solutions and instant data as per customer preferences ( example : AJAX Search, where some part of the page changes and not all, so time is saved in loading the page, improving the user-experience)
For the end user, better inter-action and chance to participate in the process of web knowledge sharing + customizing ( tagging and community participations) is amazingly familiar experience rather than dry and static sites which act as a poster or a booklet online.
Technically Speaking O'Reilly categorized the websites as four levels in the hierarchy of Web 2.0-ness:
Level-0 applications (working offline as online). Examples MapQuest, Yahoo! Local, Google Maps etc.
Level-1 applications operate offline but gain features online. Examples Google Docs & Spreadsheets etc.
Level-2 applications can operate offline but gain advantages from going online. Example Flickr ( a photo sharing community generated database)
Level-3 applications, the most "Web 2.0"-oriented, only exist on the Internet, Examples eBay, Craigslist, Wikipedia, del.icio.us, Skype, dodgeball, and AdSense etc.

Orkut Hate Clubs flourishing online..
There are communities you can identify with persons (fan clubs), names, hobbies, professions and even cities and alphabets too. But have you ever been to visit a "Hate Club"
Google and other social networks do a lot of efforts to curb such menace which will be some-day affecting the use and number of visitors; effectively reducing the online spending and income for the service provider.
A news from Techtree has something to surf on....
If you happen to hate Big B's smug face, beaming across from every other channel, or those tireless 'K's' from Ekta Kapoor's 'soap factory', you now have space to vent your emotions.
Hate communities or hate clubs are becoming increasingly popular on social networking Web sites like Google-owned Orkut.
On Orkut, the Ekta Kapoor hate club leads the pack with a membership of nearly 76,468 and counting. Followed by Himesh Reshamiya (of the nasal twang) with 33,137 members; Shah Rukh Khan with 11,179; Greg Chappell with 7,659; yes, Mahatma Gandhi with 6,647; General Musharraf with 1,362; and the Big B with 1,410.
Ironically, while the Father of the Nation boasts a thousands-strong hate club, his killer, Nathuram Godse, does not even warrant a mention on Orkut or Facebook.
Psychiatrist Sameer Parikh explains that people possess a certain amount of hatred, dislikes, and complexities, and they get a chance to express these on such communities and groups. However, Parikh says, too much thought should not be dispensed on this entire phenomenon.
Yet, in recent times, concerns have been raised over certain communities for hurting social sentiments. So much so that the social networking sites themselves are opting to play safe on such issues.
A Google spokesperson voiced the view that they take abuse of Orkut very seriously, and are constantly developing new tools to review inappropriate content on the site.
Orkut users too can report content to reviewers by clicking on the 'report as bogus' button. Recently, a priority reporting tool has been introduced for reporting serious aberrations on the site.
A news article from MSN shows something like that, here the target is Dogs and those who hate them ( may be due to personal reasons or social) are observed using hate as a medium to discuss the feelings.
Drop them from building tops, run them over with your car - are just some of the ways to kill dogs that Orkut's canine-hating members suggest while socialising online
Animal rights group People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals (PETA) India has now complained to the police.
Peta accused Orkut, the social networking site, of promoting cruelty to animals and has demanded action against it by cyber cells of the government.
Peta has written to the Mumbai police and complained that among topics discussed on Orkut community sites was "I hate dogs".
Here organizations like PETA come into picture to save the interest of the pets.
