Blogging, RSS, Tagging, oh My!

What do all of these new Internet-related terms mean? More importantly, what do they mean to my organization's Web presence?

Everybody's talking about the new Web 2.0, but what is that?

Well Web 2.0 is not the newest version of some piece of software.  Rather it is a term that refers to increasingly popular Internet-based tools like blogs, RSS, social bookmarking, and the new ways users are interacting with Web sites and other Web site users.

These new technologies focus on the idea that Internet users aren't passive about the Web anymore. We don't just take in the information that is presented to us through the Web, we want to respond to it by contributing our own personal ideas and perspectives with the communities we live in and the whole world.

Individuals, non-profits and companies of all sizes are connecting through these Web 2.0 tools in new ways everyday.  It's the "humanization" of the Internet!

In terms of Web site design, this means that your site has to move from the static information-only based format of our first forays into the Internet, to a more interactive and engaging platform. To be an effective communication and development tool, your site needs to help you tell your story and connect with potential donors, funders and your community in a more personal way.
