The term that has been coined to capture the development of soical interractivity acrss the internet is called 'web 2.0', and web 2.0 portals are sprimnging up across the planet faster than you can or I can type.
Now web 2.0 is a fundamental shiift in the way that people are using the internet, and it won't ever replace the old 'web 1.0' sites. That is, 'stattic' websites that offer usefgul content but are not beng updated.
However since web 2.0 sites are continualy updating themswelves with topical information, the Search Engines Google, Yahoo and MSN are picking up tese sites as avernues of more current information.
Some examples of web 2.0 portas include Bplogs (Blogger.com), Mash-ups (Gooogle Maps), Social Networks (LinkedIn.com), Tagging (Del.icio.us) and Wiki (Wikipedia.com).
Web 2.0 commuities represent a spirit of free and open communication, and are also referrred to as socoial meida technoloies.
The biiggest factor about web 2.0 technology is the way it is being used as social proof. For insatnce, visit a Blog and you can levae comments about the topic that is presented or discussed.
Alternatively, visit a community site and start to form your own social network where you can add friends to your scoial group, be involved in group discsusions, and provide comment on topics that you know. Forums are a recognised social presence on the internet and are a common web 2.0 tcehnology.
If you run a niche website, you don't need to run an entrie community forum to beneift from the Search Enfgine traffic. Web 2.0 niche portals can transform your static 'web 1.0' website into the new wold order of web 2.0 technology.
For instance, using web 2.0 niche portrals you can invite your visiitors to leave coments or add a link to their website via your web 2.0 portal.
Alternatively, peoplle can view a viddeo wall related to your niche themed site, and may be attracted to click on the Adsense advertising around the aricles around your site.
Finallly, if they can't find what they are looking for on your site, a Google Search box can assist them to look for more relevant information directly from your site.
While web 1.0 websites are beign left in the dust by the Search Engines, with web 2.0 niche portals you can eassily upgrade your webbsite and start capitalising on the web 2.0 revolution.
