most web pages were static. Static

stationary page) in the same that
the page “as is” and cannot be
manipulated by the user. This

Social Networking sites •Blogs •Wikis
•Video sharing sites

Web 2.0 allows the user to interact

with the page known as DYNAMIC
PAGE; instead of just reading a page,
the user may be able to comment or
create a user account. Dynamic
page refers to the web pages that
are affected by user input or
preference.
Folksonomy – 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 tags
that start with a pound sign (#) or
hashtag.
Rich User Interface – 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.
User Participation– the owner of
website is not the only one who is
able to put content. Others are able
to place a content on their own by

evaluation.

bandwidth you used.
Semantic Web– is a movement
led by the World Wide Web
Consortium(W3C). The semantic

support Web 3.0. •Security – The
user’s security is also question

her preferences.
Vastness-The World Wide Web
already contains billions of web
pages. •Vagueness – Certain
words are imprecise. The words
“old” and “small” would depend
to the user.
Logic- since machines use logic,
there are certain limitations for a
computer to be able to predict
what the user is referring to at a
given time.

technological advancements to work
on a similar goal or task. For example,
besides using your personal computer

application, or online channel that
enables web users to create, co-
create, discuss, modify, and
