Social Networks


A social network is a social structure made up of a set of actors and the dyadic ties between these actors. The most popular social networks in the Internet are:
1.      Facebook  - Users can create profiles with photos, lists of personal interests, contact information, and other personal information. Users can communicate with friends and other users through private or public messages and a chat feature. They can also create and join interest groups and "like pages".
2.      Twitter - Twitter is an online social networking service and microblogging service that enables its users to send and read text-based posts of up to 140 characters, known as "tweets". Users may subscribe to other users' tweets – this is known as following and subscribers are known as followers or tweeps. The users can also check the people who are un-subscribing them on Twitter better known as unfollowing via various services.

Libraries, Librarians and Web 2.0


Basically, Web 2.0 is the social web, and it's all about participation. This might include the creation of networks of people with common interests, or collaboration on shared projects.

Libraries, Librarians and Web 2.0

Web 2.0 websites are, with some exceptions, based primarily on sharing information but sharing information in a specific way: Essentially, they are about seeing and being seen, with most offering users a degree of control over how their personal information is shared with other users.

Computers in Libraries, 2009 Oct; 29 (9): 14-7

 
Web 2.0, […], refers to a perceived second-generation of webbased services—such as social networking sites, wikis, communication tools, and folksonomies—that emphasize online collaboration and sharing among users.

O'Reilly: Web 2.0 -Definition


Web 2.0 is the network as platform, spanning all connected devices; Web 2.0 applications are those that make the most of the intrinsic advantages of that platform: delivering software as a continually-updated service that gets better the more people use it, consuming and remixing data from multiple sources, including individual users, while providing their own data and services in a form that allows remixing by others, creating network effects through an "architecture of participation," and going beyond the page metaphor of Web 1.0 to deliver rich user experiences.
Web 2.0


 Ivelina Mladenova, student, 1st course, LIS, N 40742

The Web 2.0 phenomenon derives its effectiveness from the interhuman connections it makes possible and ‘weaves’ into a new kind of social media. It shifts emphasis from delivering content to building communities. Web 2.0-based communities populate virtual spaces that are (1) open, (2) self-organizing, (3) adaptive, (4) agile, (5) readily accessible, and (6) easy to use. A Web 2.0 platform has shared and interoperable designs of hardware, software, and services to support a collaborative and distributed environment in which users can connect, share, comment on, group, peer-review, or create new content or software tools.
