There is a lot of talk about the possibilities for what is termed Web 2.0 as if it is a new reality as if something is going to change and we will all have to upgrade. It is more a matter of greater flexibility and personalisation and accessing materials and posting them via existing and improved tools.

If you are already using blogs, rss feeds, uploading photographs and using wikis and other tools you are nigh on Web 2.0 enabled. The problem in the long term will be what people do with the ability to integrate and access more easily. We should be creating more useful content and content will be less reliant (sorry for certain folks) on designers and probably less reliant (sorry to another crew) on IT services.

Even now you could probably do everything you need through a web browser. As a lecturer I could create web pages through a browser and display them in class, type up notes through a browser. I already find I am using browsers more and more to integrate what I do on the internet from uploading onto a moodle, using a weblog such as this, putting material that needs regularly revising onto a wiki. I will add more to this but am publishing now via Flock.
