Dynamics of Web 2.0: A Software Application "Web 2.0 Meter"

Abstract

In this study, it is intended to understand the concept of Web 2.0 and to introduce its effects on the web design. In the first part of the article, necessary information is provided about relevant topics such as, Web design, the features of Web 1.0, Web 1.5 and Web 2.0 sites and the visual, social and technological implications of the Web 2.0 concept. In the second art of the article, a survey, which includes 21 questions related to Web 2.0 features, was conducted to 150 people having the internet background. This survey is applied for three web sites whose categories are accepted as Web 1.0, Web 1.5 and Web 2.0 in literature. Also, a test program called Web 2.0 Meter is developed with .Net technology to determine the category of a website and to produce comments about the necessary Web 2.0 features that the relevant web site should have. The answers given to questions were processed by Web 2.0 Meter. Consequently, the results show that Web 2.0 Meter has evaluated the category of a website in a proper way.
