Tags: Compression | GIF | JPEG | PNG | Quality What format should I use GIF, JPEG or PNG?
I’m often asked which graphic format to use when putting together web content.

Web 2.0 is a newer term use for the next generation of the web. Simply stated, you can consider Web 1.0 as static website pages and Web 2.0 as interactive websites. You’re not just publishing data in Web 2.0, you’re providing user participation with what you published. It facilitates information sharing, interoperability, and collaboration. This doesn’t mean that there’s a technical upgrade to hardware or specifications, but a way in which developers and end users use the web.
Examples of Web 2.0 are web applications, blogs, social networking site, wikis and video sharing to name a few. A good example of a Web 2.0 feature is tagging. Content can be tagged to provide an easier way for the end-user to search for information. This can create a way for users to independently search for content and not rely on pre-defined categories.
