ACCESS
Publishing content is easier, giving more people access to a wider variety of content in a wider variety of formats. You don't have to go to the content -- you can have the content brought to you These are called push technologies- examples include RSS aggregators which bring the headlines of your favorite sites to you.
COLLABORATIVE
Users construct content collaboratively (e.g., wikis, Google Documents) Users can build on and share content with many users (e.g., many web-apps allow commenting)
CUSTOMIZED TO THE USER
Content presented is based on past user actions (e.g., viewing of previous products in Amazon) or on other page content (Google Ads)
SOCIAL
Access to others with common interests is easier (content can be "tagged" with self designated categories) Facilitates the creation of a networks of users whose content you now have access to by creating contact lists or friend lists. You can add users to your contacts list so that you can be alerted whenever they add new content. Social network analysis looks at how individuals are connected and the strength of their relationship. Social networking sites such as Friendster and MySpace facilitate communication and collaboration. Social bookmarking tools such as Delicious and Furl allow you to bookmark and share resources .
