Features of Web 2.0
1. Folksonomy - It allows users to categorize and

classify/arrange information using freely chosen
keywords (e.g., tagging). Popular social networking
sites such as Twitter, Instagram, Facebook, etc. use

2. Rich User Experience - Content is dynamic and is

responsive to user’s input. An example would be a
website that shows local content. In the case of social
networking sites, when logged on, your account is
used to modify what you see in their website.

Features of Web 2.0
3. User Participation - The owner of the website is not

the only one who is able to put content. Others are
able to place a content of their own by means of
comment, reviews, and evaluation. Some websites
allow readers to comment on an article, participate in a
poll, or review a specific product (e.g., Amazon.com,
online stores).
z
Features of Web 2.0
4. Software as a Service - Users will subscribe to a

software only when needed rather than purchasing them.
This is a cheaper option if you do not always need to use a
software. For instance, Google Docs is a free web-based
application that allows the user to create and edit word
processing and spreadsheet documents online. When you
need a software, like a Word Processor, you can purchase
it for a one-time huge amount and install it in your
computer and it is yours forever. Software as a service
allows you to “rent” a software for a minimal fee.
z
Features of Web 2.0
5. Mass Participation - It is a diverse information

sharing through universal web access. Since most
users can use the Internet, Web 2.0’s content is based
on people from various cultures.
Web z3.0
also called as Semantic Web
Semantics – ability of Web technologies to understand

and interpret human-generated content
The aim of Web 3.0 is to have machines understand the

user’s preferences to be able to deliver web content
specifically targeting the user.
The Internet is able to predict the best possible answers

to your question by “learning from your previous choices
z
Trends in ICT
As the world of ICT continues to grow, the industry has

focused on several innovations. These innovations
cater to the needs of the people that benefit most out
of ICT. Whether it is for business or personal use,
these trends are current front runners in the innovation
of ICT.
