Let’s Go!
You Know You're Web 2.0 When...• You can easily comment on, or preferably, actually change the content that you
find on a Web site. • You can label your information with tags and use them to find that information
again. • Your Web page doesn't reload even once as you get a whole lotta work done. • You are actively aware of other users' recent activity on a site. • It's possible for you to easily share with others the information you're contributing
on the Web site. • You can syndicate your information on a Web site elsewhere on the Internet
through a feed like RSS or Atom. • You can pick and choose the pieces of a Web site that you like and then add that
functionality to your own site.
• There are easy ways to find out what content is the most popular or interesting at the moment.
• You heard about a new Web site because a friend enthusiastically recommended it to you out of the blue.
• There happens to be a mind boggling amount information and a lot of people on a site, yet it seems easy to find what you want and communicate with others.
• Everything you ever added to a given Web site can be removed easily at your whim.
• The Web site actively encourages you to share and reuse its information and its services with others. And it even provides a license to do so.
