Submitted by timbl on Mon, 2005-12-12 14:52::In 1989 one of the main objectives of the WWW was to be a space for sharing information. It seemed evident that it should be a space in which anyone could be creative, to which anyone could contribute. The first browser was actually a browser/editor, which allowed one to edit any page, and save it back to the web if one had access rights.
Strangely enough, the web took off very much as a publishing medium, in which people edited offline. Bizarely, they were prepared to edit the funny angle brackets of HTML source, and didn’t demand a what you see is what you get editor. WWW was soon full of lots of interesting stuff, but not a space for communal design, for discource through communal authorship.
Now in 2005, we have blogs and wikis, and the fact that they are so popular makes me feel I wasn’t crazy to think people needed a creative space. In the mean time, I have had the luxury of having a web site which I have write access, and I’ve used tools like Amaya and Nvu which allow direct editing of web pages. With these, I haven’t felt the urge to blog with blogging tools. Effectively my blog has been the Design Issues series of technical articles.
That said, it is nice to have a machine to the administrative work of handling the navigation bars and comment buttons and so on, and it is nice to edit in a mode in which you can to limited damage to the site. So I am going to try this blog thing using blog tools. So this is for all the people who have been saying I ought to have a blog.
Web 2 dot duh
Ok, so I’m one of those “been there done that” old school webmaster’s that started building websites with HomeSite years ago and then moved on to “WYSIWYG” crappola apps like HotDog and eventually landed on Dreamweaver. Somewhere along the way from web maker to marketing hack, I missed out on a lot of really cool innovations and developing web standards. Now I’m trying to piece together my webtegrity and start fresh with the newer concepts (and de facto hot topics) of Web2.0, css, web standards, and the less is more idea around the semantic web.
In my quest to reprogram my webmind, I thought I’d share some of my discoveries with those of us still trying to sort it all out. Probably, the best place to start is by taking a look at some of the websites that are being tagged as 2.0 by visitors and users. Your first assignmnent is to go visit del.icio.us and check out what their users are calling Web2.0.
