What Is Web 2.0?
November 29th, 2005
Web 2.0 is the greatest thing since Flash made interactive application development possible without waiting for server-side interaction. Or so most of its proponents would have us to believe. I agree that it is an amazing and potentially Web changing development.
But exactly what is Web 2.0? I can’t say “exactly” because it involves many different components. What I can say is that it involves AJAX and other technologies that allow your Web browser to access data that it will need to process your requests before you need it. This way of working with the Web simulates the feel of a desktop application, not a Web site.
Google has been on the cutting edge in this area and there are many others. One of particular interest to me is TransMedia Corporation. As noted in an article in the November 14, 2005 issue of Information Week, this startup is on the bleeding edge of desktop application development. Their suite of basic office productivity tools is available free of charge, and their advanced features can be accessed by subscription. The only real catch is … Glide Effortless hasn’t been released yet!
Look out Microsoft! Someone’s knocking on your door. Whether they can deliver has yet to be determined.
This example illustrates Web 2.0 and the future also of Microsoft office productivity tools. Expect to see them on the Web in the next few years unless there is a dramatic shift in the momentum towards online desktop software applications.
