Web 2.0 vs FURL

What is Web 2.0?
Web 2.0 is like the 2nd generation of the web. It allows us to build on the information that is available with Web 1.0. Basically Web 2.0 is a platform.  

What is FURL?
FURL (File Uniform Resource Locators) is a bookmaking website tool which allows users to store copies of webpages. It allows us to rate the information we find, to comment, to share with others and it forms an asynchronous form of communication with others that are interested in the same information or topics. 

What do I like best? 
I think that FURL is extremely clever and is a very very handy website. I love the fact that we can save copies of websites and be able to still view them if the original website is removed. Its like having your own filing system of all the useful websites and articles you come across when searching the web. I think FURL is a fantastic idea, and will save alot of time having sites so easily book marked especially for assignments.  
At the moment, Im still not too sure about Web 2.0, and what extra benefits it will offer. Im still a little confused with the whole idea. To me its like expanding the web and offering more and more uses and options. 

I definitly feel that the Internet Communications furl list is far more appealing thatn the HTML version. The HTML doesn't look exciting, things don't stand out as easy and there isn't much you can do in the ways of give the information some sort of order or telling what is the best link etc. 


For U R Luxurious!!
