Web 2.0

Lately, I have seen a lot of hype over this Web 2.0, and honestly, I don't understand it. I compare Web 2.0 to a hot tub.

Long ago, someone got the idea of putting a motorthat would move the water around in a hot tub, to the point it was almost like getting a massage while you were in the tub.

The thing is, these motors have existed for longer than the hot tub, as well as hot tubs existed before without these motors to move the water around.

Web 2.0 is basically the same thing. Someone discovered a different way of making a website using the same tools that have existed for years, they just put it together differently. Don't get me wrong, nobody else thought of it, but now that someone has, it seems like everyone is talking about it.

Web 2.0 is a good thing as it will make your website more interactive with your visitors, but the bottom line is, you will still have to do all the work that you need to do with a regular website, there will just be more programming involved.

NMP is not against Web 2.0, we just don't understand all the hype behind it. It is a good step in the right direction towards making the web more interactive, but in the end, everything you need to create a Web 2.0 website is already out there. There isn't anything new about it except the way it is all put together.
