Pros and Cons of using WhatsApp (Web2)

Web 2 is a development of the World Wide Web. It is a user-centred design where it's possible to share knowledge and information, it is interactive and collaborative and it is usually associated with web applications that help in two way communication. It focuses on user collaboration, user sharing and social networking.

Everyone is more than likely to have used some form of web2. If it's through blogging like I am now, or through being part of a social networking site like Twitter or Instagram. Even Wikipedia is a form of web2.
 
What are the key characteristics of a web2 website?
  1. It has a way to search information-search bar/engine.
  2. It includes links.
  3. It gives you the right to publish and upload images, videos and tag friends ect.

I use many forms of web2 through social media interaction. Aspects of web 2 that I am most involved with is Facebook including Facebook Messenger and WhatsApp. These are the ones I use on a daily basis and as sad as it sounds I can't imagine being without them!


WhatsApp is a messenger service for smartphones. The App uses 3G or WIFI to contact friends and family. I love using WhatsApp I find it so easy and reliable. I have the App on my Iphone and use it daily.
