Web 2.0 • What is it? • The read/write Web, not just the read Web of back in the day • Consumers aren’t just passive users, searching for content • Now they contribute to content • Enabled by new technology that makes publishing content easy: Web syndication

RSS and Aggregators • RSS files (Really Simple Syndication) • Published to the Web server with your content • A catalog of your content • Aggregators • Installed on the consumer’s computer • Checks a Web server, compares the current to the previous RSS file to find new content, and downloads new content • Like your email program
