WEB 2.0

WEB 2.0

Abstract

In the past months, Web 2.0 floats as a buzzword through the World Wide Web,

signifying something new, exciting, and promising. This report aims at capturing

the major ideas that stand behind this term, presenting them in a comprehensible

way, trying to summarize and draw conclusions out of the current hype.

Universities are using Web 2.0 in order to reach out and engage with generation Y and other prospective students according to recent reports. Examples of this are: social networking websites – YouTube, MySpace, Facebook, Twitter and Flickr; upgrading institutions’ websites in gen Y-friendly ways – stand-alone micro-websites with minimal navigation; placing current students in cyberspace or student blogs; and blogging which enables prospective students to log on and ask questions.
