Web 1.0 Versus Web 2.0

Posted by Paul Colligan on Wednesday, March 18, 2009

Web 1.0 was on your terms. Web 2.0 is on the terms of your customer.

Web 1.0 was about packaging. Web 2.0 is about delivery.

Web 1.0 was on the Web. Web 2.0 is on the device of your choice.

Web 1.0 was about surf and search. Web 2.0 is about subscribe.

Web 1.0 was about domain names. Web 2.0 is about RSS feeds.

Web 1.0 was about presentation. Web 2.0 is about dialogue.

Web 1.0 was a specific moment in time. Web 2.0 is whenever you want it to be.

Web 1.0 was about ownership. Web 2.0 is about mindshare.

Web 1.0 was about eyeballs. Web 2.0 is about attention.

Web 1.0 was about power. Web 2.0 is about potential.

Anything I should add to this list?

    Web 1.0 was about hit and run profits. Web 2.0 is about lifetime ROI.

    I kinda agree here Bart – but I know a lot of 1.0 people who were about lifetime ROI – they just find it much easier via 2.0? Something like “Web 1.0 attracted a “hit and run” mindset. Web 2.0 attracts a lifetime ROI mindset.

    Web 1.0 was static, Web 2.0 is dynamic
    Web 1.0 was soapbox, Web 2.0 is conversation

    You point is a good one. New change:

    Web 1.0 encourages hit and run profits. Web 2.0 encourages lifetime ROI.

    Web 1.0 was 1-way. Web 2.0 is 2-way or more-way.
