Widgets for Content Distribution: A Shift in the Internet [ABSTRACT]
Jinfo Blog
1st January 2008
Abstract
In what has been described as the "deportalization" of the Internet, users of Web 2.0 services are no longer content to use the big portals. Instead, these users seek to create their own Internet spaces. Web 2.0 users want to select the content they need, group it with other content in which they are interested, arrange that on a blog or social network page, customise its look, comment on it and share it with friends or colleagues.
Item

For better or worse, the 'Field of Dreams' period is coming to a rapid close. In what has been described as the "deportalization" of the Internet, users of Web 2.0 services are no longer content to use the big portals. Instead, these users seek to create their own Internet spaces. Web 2.0 users want to select the content they need, group it with other content in which they are interested, arrange that on a blog or social network page, customise its look, comment on it and share it with friends or colleagues.
