My discovery of Web 2.0: Education


    INTRODUCTION

    Web 2.0 , a phrase coined by O'Reilly Media in 2004, refers to a perceived second generation of web-based services — such as social networking sites, wikis, communication tools, and folksonomies — that emphasize online collaboration and sharing among users. ( Wikipedia.org )

    Web 2.0 , a concept proposed by O'Reilly Media in 2004, referring to the second generation of world wide web services, such as social networking sites, wikis, communications, and including folksonomy (folksonomy + taxonomy - taxonomy - which implies the collaboration of a group of people on the content of resources and the exchange of data among users.


    Since, despite the existence of a definition, clear criteria for the concept of “WEB 2.0” have not yet been defined (one of the resources created to assess the “webdoubliness” of projects suggests “Denies the existance of Rocky V?” As a criterion - these are the excesses folksonomy!), but you have to rely on something, I used to study the world of WEB 2.0 The complete Web 2.0 directory .
    Unfortunately (or fortunately, who knows?), Some of the WEB 2.0 projects today are not created in Russia and, being sharpened for use by foreign friends, are unsuitable for everyday use with us. But what prevents us from correcting this annoying nuisance?

    EDUCATION

    www.ratemyplacement.co.ukcreated by students for students, it is the first UK website dedicated entirely to evaluating a company as a potential employer.

    The graduation year for a student, when he faces a choice of work, is the most problematic, but at the same time the most exciting one. The transition from student life to work is a huge step and ratemyplacement.co.uk is designed to help promising students make the right decision. For students who have already made such a choice, ratemyplacement.co.uk is a place where they can leave their opinions, both positive and negative, thereby really helping their colleagues make the right decision.

    Mission ratemyplacement.co.uk
    Become the best resource for all future / current students by building a comprehensive database of employer companies.

    The creators of ratemyplacement.co.uk
    Four friends who went through the throes of a job search in 2005-2006. After that, they realized how even a little information is important for students getting a job. The creators hope that the information made available through ratemyplacement.co.uk will be useful. The resource is based on sincere and constructive reviews, and as a thank you to those who left feedback, the creators of the resource promise to give out prizes.

    Working with a resource
    After registration, an interface

    that is simple and ugly appears: offering a choice: whether we want to read or leave our opinion about a company.
    The process of writing a review comes down to choosing the values ​​in the forms (for example: “desired salary = 10k, 15k, 20k pounds”) and setting ratings for various positions. Each rating can be commented on.
    Acquaintance with reviews about the company is even easier, you just need to read here:

    That's all, simple and convenient.

    Among the shortcomings of the resource, a small database volume should be noted; as of March 20, 2007, only the 50th review was received. But this is good progress, if you remember that the date of creation of the project is March 12, 2007. Well, we wish good luck to the undertaking, in any case - the idea, in my opinion, is wonderful.
