...Here's how to decode the buzzwords and blaze your own trail through the tangle of websites. You Make It Web 2.0 is fueled by an outpouring of creativity from the people formerly known as consumers. From YouTube auteurs to bloggers to amateur photographers competing with the paparazzi, USERGENERATED CONTENT is revolutionizing the media landscape You Name It The sheer mass of information online --�20 billion Web pages and counting -- should defy organization. Collective intelligence has risen to the challenge. With users tagging images, text and other forms of content, an organic sort of taxonomy has blossomed, appropriately called...
