I keep hearing this term, and all I can gather is that it is a faster version of the web. Obviously, I must be missing something....
What exactly is "Web 2.0"?

Not faster, more "hip" if that makes sense. It's the modern web rather than the web you started surfing years ago. It's not a new piece of software, it is what's newly available on the web. One example I have heard described is the difference between Encyclopedia Britanica Online (Web 1.0) and Wikipedia Web 2.0).
Web wizards get together and label things based on their view of the web. To semi-normal people like you and me, it doesn't make a whole heck of a lot of difference. Feel free to use Encyclopedia Britanica Online if it floats your boat.

It is making the web more interactive and user friendly. AJAX (asycronous javascript and xml) is considered web 2.0. You see this on youtube, facebook, and our dj board. it keeps you from having to refresh the page. AJAX Programmers are in hot demand now!
Note: barely tipped the iceburge on web 2.0

It's also about the style and interface of the website. Cleaner, more white space, less annoying effects.

I would consider my site as leaning towards a web 2.0 design...

And this would be an extreme example of web 1.0 design...

I bypassed it -- I'm going straight for Web 4.0...
Web 4.0, is a bunch of cables overhead, and underground, all intertwined. If you want information, you have to call on a landline, and talk to a human on the other end, and possibly even read a printed manual :sqerr:
We'll see how this new idea flys...

Bah it's nothing but a fad term.. I don't see it as anything special. All it is is gradients instead of solid colors and as Bounce mentioned AJAX.. An example of AJAX is how the quick reply box posts a reply without you refreshing the page.
I don't know after reading that article I'm re-thinking my sites layout and feel... maybe the deep purple is too deep...
And certainly re-designing it with a better flow might draw more attention from folks that appreciate a good lay.... out.... sorry couldn't resist.

To me, Web 2.0 is the shift of the publisher role from the corporations to the people.
It used to be that writters wrote content, it went to editors then approved by the corporate publisher and was released to the public in a month or so... Now people have the ability to "publish" their oppinions online and it's accepted or not accepted on it's merit or the merit of the author.
Web 2.0 allows the voice of the people to come out, brings information to the public at lighting speed and builds a global sense of community around specific niches and micro-niches.
Think ODJT, The Knot. Think Bloggster. Think Amazon and all the e-tail stores that true publish user reviews.

Ok gave it a shot... but I lake the ablity er rather the software to do the text boxes right... I'd like to shadow them to make them pop out more but I lack the right software to create the 3-D affect....

So of those of you who have looked at my site what do ya think.... thumbs up or thumbs down or neither like or dislike and why.
Hey Rob,
I'm gonna give you some tips, not ment to offend.
Your buttons do not match. The site scrolls whereas I think it might be condensed to where it may not. Your header picture seems to have some areas of pixelation. Web 2.0 tries to create clean graphics. I would try to find a way to spruce up the availability checker. I think that can really help you out.

Yeah the logo is a bit of a thorn in my arse... I created it with Logo Creator but it pixalates everytime I resize it... I'll see what I can do with that... Funny thing is the logo that is on my site is the same you see in my signature line below.
Same with the multicolored header banner that sits behind the logo... again an issue with how it's generated...
If I had photshop.... or more importatly if I knew how to use it... I'd fix all that....
I'm kinda stuck with how the availablity checker looks since it is provided by DJIntelligence... other than color and or adding my logo to it there isn't much that I know how to do with it. Anyone who knows how to code this portion I'd be happy is a monkey with a bag of nutz... for the help.
Another byproduct of web 2.0 has been the proliferation of the over so popular web badges... Most web 2.0 sites have their own web badges now and fans are making many more.
Originally...
Well now the Badges themselves have gone 2.0
People have expanded the use of these badges (We don't need no stinking badges! ... Sorry If I didn't somebody else would have) to showing support for a favorite site, online hangout, or concept...
Displaying them on blogs, forum post sigs, myspace, etc.
Web 2.0 badges are now more dynamic looking...
I even got into it... I created a web badge for those who support DJ Idea Sharing...
Web 2.0 is fun... lol

The "Powered By MediaWiki" image on the Wikipedia website is an example of a web badge.
