Tim O'Reilly. Tim O'Reilly (born June 6, 1954) is the founder of O'Reilly Media (formerly O'Reilly & Associates) and a supporter of the free software and open source movements.[1] Life and career[edit] Born in County Cork, Ireland,[2] O'Reilly moved to California with his family six weeks after he was born. [citation needed] O'Reilly was initially interested in literature upon entering college, yet after graduating from Harvard College in 1975 with a B.A. cum laude in Classics, he became involved in the field of computer user manuals. He defines his company not as a book or online publisher, nor as a conference producer (though the company does all three), but as a technology transfer company, "changing the world by spreading the knowledge of innovators.

O'Reilly was also a friend of science fiction writer Frank Herbert, and published a critical study of Herbert's work, Frank Herbert in 1981. Thoughts and activism[edit] Software patents[edit] Open source software[edit] Internet Operating System[edit] What Is Web 2.0. By Tim O'Reilly 09/30/2005 Oct. 2009: Tim O'Reilly and John Battelle answer the question of "What's next for Web 2.0? " in Web Squared: Web 2.0 Five Years On. The bursting of the dot-com bubble in the fall of 2001 marked a turning point for the web. Many people concluded that the web was overhyped, when in fact bubbles and consequent shakeouts appear to be a common feature of all technological revolutions. Shakeouts typically mark the point at which an ascendant technology is ready to take its place at center stage.

The pretenders are given the bum's rush, the real success stories show their strength, and there begins to be an understanding of what separates one from the other. The concept of "Web 2.0" began with a conference brainstorming session between O'Reilly and MediaLive International. In the year and a half since, the term "Web 2.0" has clearly taken hold, with more than 9.5 million citations in Google. This article is an attempt to clarify just what we mean by Web 2.0. 1.

L'explosion de la bulle internet en 2001 a définitivement marqué un tournant dans l'histoire du web. Beaucoup de gens ont à ce moment considéré que le web était une technologie surévaluée alors qu'au contraire, le fait qu'une bulle se forme puis éclate est un trait commun à toutes les révolutions industrielles. Le concept de web 2.0 est apparu avec une conférence « brainstorming » entre O'Reilly et Medialive International.

En un an et demi (ndt : l'article est daté du 30/09/2005), le terme « web 2.0 » s'est franchement popularisé avec plus de 9,5 millions de citations dans Google. Cet article est donc une tentative de clarification du sens du terme « web 2.0 ». Web 1.0 // Web 2.0 Et la liste pourrait encore s'allonger... Web Squared: Web 2.0 Five Years On - by Tim O'Reilly and John Battelle. Five years ago, we launched a conference based on a simple idea, and that idea grew into a movement. The original Web 2.0 Conference (now the Web 2.0 Summit ) was designed to restore confidence in an industry that had lost its way after the dotcom bust. The Web was far from done, we argued. In fact, it was on its way to becoming a robust platform for a culture-changing generation of computer applications and services. In our first program, we asked why some companies survived the dotcom bust, while others had failed so miserably.

Chief among our insights was that "the network as platform" means far more than just offering old applications via the network ("software as a service"); it means building applications that literally get better the more people use them, harnessing network effects not only to acquire users, but also to learn from them and build on their contributions. Ever since we first introduced the term "Web 2.0," people have been asking, "What’s next?

" Web Squared, transition vers le web 3.0 ou nouveau paradigme ? Voilà maintenant près de 5 ans que l’on parle du web 2.0 (ce terme a pour la première fois été utilisé en 2004 lors du Web 2.0 Summit) et depuis le grand jeu a été de savoir quand arrivera la prochaine itération. Pour faire simple disons que le web 2 .0 était le terme utilisé dans les années 2006/2007 pour décrire un changement majeur dans les usages de l’internet (voir ma dernière définition en date).

Ce dernier repose sur deux notions fondamentales: l’intelligence collective, le web comme une plateforme (pour les utilisateurs et les services). Maintenant ce terme est passé de mode et l’on emploie plus volontiers celui de médias sociaux qui sonne moins “informatique” à l’oreille. J’ai également eu l’occasion de faire un panorama des différents services associés aux médias sociaux ainsi que de donner une définition. Web 1.0 = plateforme pour les documentsWeb 2.0 = plateforme pour les individusWeb 3.0 = plateforme pour les données Web² = Web 2.0 + World Pourquoi parler du Web Squared ?
