Week # 9-Web 2.0 helped me understand the difference between Web 1.0 and Web 2.0.

After listening to the OReilly article, "What is Web 2.0", the difference in my mind boils down to Web 1.0 being top-down control ( as above...so below ) ; whereas Web 2.0 is bottom-up based on the user's needs, ( as below...so above) .

The bottom line to me is simple operation of all this technology. Good business is never complicated. It is honest, transparent and customer friendly, thus good for all concerned.

As a novice participant, I have noticed that many applications complicate every move with roadblock after roadblock, while Google quickly escorts me through mazes.

Why this is so, I can't explain, but it's easy to see why Google's stock sells for 10 times that of Microsoft, the 800 lb. gorilla in the room.

Thanks again for this opportunity add these tools to the 3 Rs from my pre-tech business past.
