1b. Web 1.0 - Let's start here

Starting to get a little tired, might just finish for the day with this page.

Questions that entered my head as I am reading this page http://www.digital-web.com/articles/web_2_for_designers/ are:

• Who are Richard MacManus & Joshua Porter, never heard of them before.  I wonder what else I could find out about them?  Once I click on the first link, it becomes clear that they are authors.  My mind (ie thoughts I have/questions I think of) seems to be going faster than I can click.
• "Writing Semantic Markup: Transition to XML" -  I don't really know anything about XML although have read the chapter in the prescribed textbook.
• Although I am reading this in an IKM context the "Remixing Content" idea is similar to the marketing concept of taking things to a new audience.  I think there is overlap here.
• The separation of structure and style point reiterates the embedding styles in documents exercise we did in tute 3.
• Note for John - This link is busted http://www.zeldman.com/2006/10/17/web-20-thinking-game/%20for%20more%20fun%20interpretations Did anyone else get it working?

Key summary points from the article (which again seem reasonable)

To summarize, these are what we see as the six main themes covering design in the Web 2.0 world:

1. Writing semantic markup (transition to XML)
2. Providing Web services (moving away from place)
3. Remixing content (about when and what, not who or why)
4. Emergent navigation and relevance (users are in control)
5. Adding metadata over time (communities building social information)
6. Shift to programming (separation of structure and style)

After a few moments, my investigationing turned to twitter.  I found that both Richard MacManus and Joshua Porter have twitter accounts.  Again, I decided to follow them.  For reference, if you are doing the Web2.0 adventure in order and haven't looked at twitter yet, here are links to their profiles.

Woot, I am now following 6 people on twitter.  I think'll just watch the last 3 youtube videos and that will do me.
