3. Korea Advanced Institute of Science and Technology Network Computing Laboratory | 3 Web 2.0 Meme Map

4. Korea Advanced Institute of Science and Technology Network Computing Laboratory | 4 Seven Principles of Web 2.0 1. The Web as Platform 2. Harnessing Collective Intelligence 3. Data is the Next Intel Inside 4. End of the Software Release Cycle 5. Lightweight Programming Models 6. Software Above the Level of a Single Device 7. Rich User Experiences

5. Korea Advanced Institute of Science and Technology Network Computing Laboratory | 5 1. The Web as Platform Netscape vs. Google Software licensing and control over APIs vs. control over data The value of the software is proportional to the scale and dynamism of the data it helps to manage. DoubleClick vs. Google AdSense The long tail : the collective power of the small sites make up the bulk of the web’s content. Leverage customer-self service and algorithmic data management to reach out the entire web, to the edges and not just the center, to the long tail and not just the head. Akamai vs. BitTorrent The service automatically gets better, the more people use it.

6. Korea Advanced Institute of Science and Technology Network Computing Laboratory | 6 2. Harnessing Collective Intelligence The Architecture of Participation Users add value It is an inclusive function to aggregate user data and build value as a side-effect of ordinary use of the application Network effects from user contributions are the key to market dominance in the Web 2.0 era Blogging and the Wisdom of Crowds RSS, Trackback, Web Syndication, New Aggregator Examples

7. Korea Advanced Institute of Science and Technology Network Computing Laboratory | 7 3. Data is the Next Intel Inside Data is indeed the Intel Inside of famous services Google’s web crwal, Yahoo!’s directory, Amazon’s DB of products, MapQuest’s map DB, Napster’s distributed song DB … Extending original data for real competency Initial Map DBs (MapQuest, NavTeq) just own their original data Amazon enhances original book DB from ISBN registry In the Future, Battles between data suppliers and application vendors The race is on to own certain classes of core data Location, identity (PayPal, Amazon’s 1-click, Sxip), calendaring of public events (EVDB), product identifiers and namespacesEVDB User concerns about privacy, and owner’s rights to data The rise of proprietary DB will result in a Free Data movement Wikipedia, the Creative Commons

8. Korea Advanced Institute of Science and Technology Network Computing Laboratory | 8 4. End of the Software Release Cycle Perpetual Beta Like open source dictum, “release early, release often” Gmail, Google Maps, Flickr, del.icio.us etc  a “Beta” logo for years Real time monitoring of user behavior Microsoft’s business model depends on everyone upgrading their computing environment every two to three years, while Goolge’s depends on everyone exploring what’s new in their computing environment every day Operations must become a core competency The software will cease to perform unless it is maintained on a daily basis Google’s system admin, networking, and load balancing are even more closely guarded secrets than their search algorithms Scripting languages such as Perl, Python, PHP, and now Ruby, play such a large role at web 2.0 companies

9. Korea Advanced Institute of Science and Technology Network Computing Laboratory | 9 5. Lightweight Programming Models Simple pragmatism is substituted for ideal design Amazon’s web services REST (XML data over HTTP) (95% usage) > SOAP web services Mapping-related web services Google Maps (AJAX interface) > MapQuest, MS MapPoint, ESRI Innovation in Assembly Reuse existing services and data for creating value Housingmaps.comHousingmaps.com (Interactive housing search) = Google Maps + Craigslist Several significant lessons Support lightweight programming models that allow for loosely coupled systems Think syndication, not coordination e.g., RSS and REST-based web services Design for “hackability” and remixability e.g., browser’s “View Source”, RSS, AJAX “some rights reserved”

10. Korea Advanced Institute of Science and Technology Network Computing Laboratory | 10 6. Software Above the Level of a Single Device Web 2.0 is no longer limited to the PC platform iTunes Seamlessly reach from the handheld device to a massive web back-end, with the PC acting as a local cache and control station iTunes and TiVo also show the other core principles of Web 2.0 Data management is the heart of their offering They are services, not packaged applications They show some budding use of collective intelligence In the Future, we will See many new services spanning multiple heterogeneous devices Real time traffic monitoring with cars’ reporting data Flash mobs and citizen journalism with phones’ reporting data

11. Korea Advanced Institute of Science and Technology Network Computing Laboratory | 11 7. Rich User Experiences Rich user interfaces with PC-equivalent interactivity AJAX (Asynchronous JavaScript and XML) The collection of technologies standards-based presentation using XHTML and CSS; dynamic display and interaction using the Document Object Model; data interchange and manipulation using XML and XSLT; asynchronous data retrieval using XMLHttpRequest; and JavaScript binding everything together Gmail, Google Maps, Orkut, Google Suggest, Flickr, Naver SuggestGoogle SuggestNaver Suggest In the Future, We will See rich web reimplementations of PC applications Integrated communications client combining email, IM, VoIP etc Web 2.0-style address book (armed with social networking) Web 2.0 word processor (with wiki-style collaborative editing) Web 2.0 enterprise apps (like Salesforce.com providing CRM online) The key is synergetic combination of rich interfaces and shared data

12. Korea Advanced Institute of Science and Technology Network Computing Laboratory | 12 “The Web as Platform” Revisited The meaning of “Platform” Platform as the base on which services are developed and deployed Platform as the playground in which users talk with one another Platform as the point in which various devices are plugged Platform battle Previously, the clash is between a platform and an application Lotus 1-2-3 vs. Excel, WordPerfect vs. Word, Netscape Navigator vs. Internet Explorer Now, battle between two platforms Windows Platform : massive installed base and tightly integrated operating system and APIs  control over programming Web 2.0 Platform : a system without an owner, tied together by a set of protocols, open standards and agreements for coorperation Communication-oriented systems require interoperability  Unless a vendor can control both ends of every interaction, the possibilities of user lock-in via software APIs are limited

21. Korea Advanced Institute of Science and Technology Network Computing Laboratory | 21 Benefits of Virtual Application The Benefits of Virtual Application Eliminating or reducing the software installation process Having “live data” in the application from a network source Users no longer have to upgrade software Allowing an organization to replace expensive desktop PCs with less expensive, low maintenance terminals Virtual applications are the Future MS’.NET 2.x and higher framework is a proprietary implementation for virtual applications IBM’s WebSphere supports virtual applications Yahoo offers a number of virtual applications Google is a virtual application company
