Document Summary
Early web primarily one directional, allowing a large number of viweres to view contents of comparatively small number of sites. Web 2. 0: bi-directional collaboration: users are able to interact with and provide information. Emergence of neogeography: neogeography mashups differentate by their methods of data collection. Technologies of cooperation: the accessibility of gis: changed the way we see interactions. Peer to peer networks, in which different nodes in the network are using the resources of other nodes in order to accomplish a task: e. g: mapster, skype. People share computing resources by voluntarily eunningg applications on their computer. Enabling people to work together on a specific task, often without monetary remuneration: linux, gis. Technologies allowing coherent activities among a group of people, some of whom are complete strangers: smart mobs, mapping parties. Users build profiles that can be shared linking people from disparate geographical locations into virtual places. Network of individuals are dichotomous between real and virtual acquantences.
