WEB 2.0 TECHNOLOGIES

WEB 2.0 TECHNOLOGIES

INTRODUCTION

Web 2.0 is the most widely used technologies beyond HTML. They have changed the way the web is used and perceived. These web 2.0 technologies have been designed to explain the phenomenon like social networking, collective intelligence (Chisholm, 1999). In recent technology, the ‘Second life’ and ‘world of war craft’ were the virtual creations that have been developed where people can assume new personalities and build an online reputation.

ACCESSIBILITY OPTIONS

The main accessibility concerns of web 2.0 rely on the web for everyday tasks as well as for employment, entertainment and also for learning purposes. One of the main utility factors is online shopping which allows people or users with visual or mobility to shop independently without travelling to a particular location or hub. Web 2.0 can provide enormous benefits among those which are new paradigm are not easily manageable (Reilly, 2005).

Coming to the toolkits, the new generation sources are available in web 2.0 which individual has its own identity and its own applications. Among them, RSS, wiki, Blogging and Podcasting are the tools which has beneficiaries such as mutual sharing of knowledge explicitly.

DIFFERENT TYPES OF TOOLS USED

Really simple syndicate

The RSS is the social tool designated by symbol .)) RSS stands for Really simple syndicate. It is not totally a document based system rather it is a database system which makes searching possible and easier. It is usually seen in the blogs where the words are displayed in different sizes depending on the priority of the number of time it has been used by the users.

Wiki

Wiki is just like one of the search engine where information is collected with the help of RSS. It can obtain the information regarding the data that is provided in the searching option. The material like journals, case studies and reference materials can be found related to a particular topic chosen. It helps to make the lesser time constraints.

Blogging

Blogging helps organization in sharing the views of one another. It can share files, pictures and also can comment on each other. This type of communication is open to all sources and accessible to everyone. One can also post their questions in their blogs and can get answers from experts within no time. In this way, the knowledge is shared explicitly among the people of organization.

Podcasting

Podcasting is one of the technologies which helps I communication between the user and the client through audio sharing. This enables us to maintain regular contact with the clients and can solve any doubts regarding their subject in an efficient manner.

These are the several open sources that are providing base functionalities with respect to the social tools that can be utilized by an organisation for running effectively and efficiently.

KNOWLEDGE MANAGEMENT SYSTEMS

KNOWLEDGE MANAGEMENT SYSTEMS

INTRODUCTION

Many companies reported to success with the introduction of Knowledge Management Systems into their project environment. By the introduction of KMS, the organization will run efficiently and effectively. The workers of organisation has to be able to choose what is effective concept to the organization that can be able to create a language and process some techniques and tools that are appropriate to the organization(Fleming, 1995).

WHAT IT IS

Knowledge Management Systems provides knowledge sharing, knowledge enhancing and knowledge preserving (Fleming, 1996). It deals with multiple activities of an organization. It also supports knowledge sharing networks and issues like training programs and operating manuals. The members had pursued the way of adapting a new system to support themselves in the field of what the people of organization are really trying to accomplish (Borghoff, 1997).

KMS can also be used for a wide range of cooperative, collaborative, hierarchy communities, virtual organizations, societies and other virtual networks, to manage media contents and activities, interactions and work-flows purposes in projects, networks, departments, privileges, roles, participants and other active users in order to extract and generate new knowledge and to enhance.

MY PERSPECTIVE

Here I can come out through discussing one of my example that relates to an organization which has already introduced KMS for its effective growth. My chosen organization is English film industry Hollywood. The type of KMS introduced here is the technology with different modern aspects so called WEB 2.0. It includes all types of communication between the media and the audience. It acts like a barrier in utilizing all the sources and functions to the maximum.

As it came into discussion alone, the techniques and tools that are used for the achievement of initializing growth of the organization is by using blogging, online telecasting, visual diagramming reviews.

Blogging is done from the creation of the user where regular updates are being carried out. The reviews about the films and details about the upcoming releases are also posted in the related sites to create interest in the audience.

The online telecasting is one of the vastly used processes helpful for the industry which enables the users to reduce the time factor and difficulties by providing data through broadband. The live broadcast of the programs which enhances faster communication relates techniques similar to visual diagramming. This feature enables podcasting for the effective communication between user and server.

The Web 2.0 technology is itself the system that is introduced in the industry for its effective running using the social tools. By the introduction of these tools, it is found that the system has enhanced faster communication compared to earlier and also as every industry desires, like the reputation increases enormously.

CONCLUSION

So the multiple activities are carried out in organization because as organization process maturity, differentiation takes place through policies, standards and organizational structures (Hammer, 1996). The workers would be able to choose an effective concept to the organization and thus create techniques and tools that are appropriate to it. In this way, the system server improvement factor uses the advanced technologies and processes.
