What people mean when they talk about Web 2.0
| Mass Media | Personal Media | |
|---|---|---|
| Dominant Medium | TV | The Web |
| Location | Living room | Everywhere |
| Experience | Watch Consume | Participate Create |
| Players | Few and large | Many and small |
| Business models | Product/Service | Subscription (and more) |
The Good
- From one way to two way (read and write web)
- From one location (our living rooms, desktops) all locations (where ever we are)
- From the few and large to the many and small
- From consumer to creator
The Bad
- The loss of social commons. Mass media gave us lots of shared experiences. Those shared experiences helped hold us together. Personal media is social dynamite.
