Similar to the poll of week 1, we have collected a few result from the poll we change since Thursday. In this analysis, we will still be using "Picasa" as our image hosting website. However we will be using bar chart since the poll result only consist of 2 answer for the ease of the public.
Link to our poll result: poll result
Our poll question is on - (Is Google a web 2.0 application)
The following will be our result:
A) Yes - 92% ( total of 11 vote)
B) No - 8% (total of 1 vote)
I would like to thanks the public who participate and vote for our poll to give us their opinion on "Is Google a web 2.0 application." From the result stated above, we could clearly see that most of the public 92%(11 vote out of 12 votes) agrees that Google is a web 2.0 application.
"Originally in 2004, Web 2.0 was referred to as this idea of the "Web as a platform".The concept was such that instead of thinking of the Web as a place where browsers viewed data through small windows on the readers' screens, the Web was actually the platform that allowed people to get things done."
What is web 2.0? I doubt many of the public are not familiar with this term, however i think it is common among those who major in information technology courses. Web 2.0 often refers to 2nd-generation of internet based applications (between the period of 2004). From my point of view, I agree with the majority that Google is definitely a web 2.0 application because it contains the features such as web as services, not package software which is certainly free of charge and is available/ready 24 hours for end-users to use. It is now complete with many features such as blogs, Google map (uses Ajax which make the application really takes off), and Google translator. Google also reflects the features of web 2.0 such as collective intelligence - (contents get richer as more users uses them) hence users can collaborate and share information online in perceived new ways unlike the previous version "web1.0" which only allows the host to share their information to the users. In another term, it means that users as co-developers and Google as the center of massive collective information.Web 2.0 application also offers interactive GUI(Graphic-User-Interface),added graphic, text, video and colors which oppose the previous version which is just about text and colors. There is a total of 8% vote for no on this poll, i think this is because the voters does not understand the meaning of web 2.0? or he/she may refers to the old version of Google in that era. Is my information correct and satisfying? Did i give much information on web 2.0? Please leave a comment.

your findings indicate that 92% of the public who participate your poll agreed with the statement of 'Google is a 2.0 web application'. And 'public' encompasses various different groups. So, i wonder the participants are mostly young students or working adults or perhaps other kinds of group?
you explained well about web 2.0 but actually you should convey more information about it's previous version which is web 1.0 for better understanding and comparison.
The participants are mostly undergraduate students and working adults as well. And yes, for better understanding i should compare more between the two version. I will make it clearer next time, thanks for your comment and time on this post.
Interesting piece.Now I have a slight idea of web 2.0. To get people understands this better and faster, I think you should make it even more interesting by including some pictures and drawing for comparison and illustration. Good job for a start. keep up. I will keep you on my radar screen.
yes, i will try to make my post more detail and easier to understand with some illustration next time. thanks for your comment.
