Chris Fralic on What is Web 2.0? A Swarm Of Associations

Email This Entry

Posted by Stowe Boyd

Joining the discussion about the definition of Web 2.0, Chris Fralic at the Del.cio,us blog takes look at what taggers have associated with the term "web 2.0:

[from What is Web 2.0]

What we actually did was take a look at all the tag data going back to February 2004 (the month of the first use of Web 2.0 as a tag on del.icio.us), and analyzed all the bookmarks and tags related to the term. We can report that as of October 31, 2005 there have been over 230,000 separate bookmarks and over 7,000 unique tags associated with the term “Web 2.0” by del.icio.us users. So for this exercise, we lopped off the really long tail and normalized some similar terms (e.g. combining blog, blogs, and blogging), and came up with this snapshot of what Web 2.0 REALLY is – at least according to del.icio.us users' most popular tags through the end of October 2005:

ajax9.9%
blog6.1%
social4.2%
tools4.1%
software3.3%
tagging3.3%
javascript2.8%
internet2.6%
programming2.5%
rss2.5%

Other notable tags included rubyonrails (1.8%), del.icio.us (1.6%), folksonomy (1.4%), community (1.1%), wiki (.9%), flickr (.8%), free (.7%), trends (.6%), flock (.4%) and googlemaps (.3%).

An interesting exercise, and one that demonstrates that -- at least among taggers -- there is a stong association in people's minds about the relationship of Web 2.0 with Ajax, and social tools. The "people are the heart of the Universe 2.0" meme is in there. Also, the association with leading technologies -- Flickr, et al -- and various social gestures like tagging seems to indicate the obvious: people may not know what Web 2.0 is, but they know it when they see it.
