Intranet Trends – 2nd Part

2000-2015 Changes Web 2.0 & Social Networks

In 2005, users began to generate and upload material onto social networks themselves through the development of the technology of well-known Tim O’Reilly’s Web 2.0.

Some models of Web 2.0 include but are not limited to social networks, Wikipedia pages, e-blogs, folksonomies (keywords tagging on the websites and links), audio-video exchange sites, web apps, and collaborative platforms. Once Web 2.0 was launched, users shifted their focus towards generating data themselves and commenting and sharing using Web 2.0. Then, in 2006 there was a rapid surge in the engagement of social network sites. Such networks like Facebook, LinkedIn and Twitter have ushered humans into a new age of Internet data transfer, even in the work setting.

1. Customer help desk (with employee profiles and organizational structure)
2. Data management system
3. Office implementation
4. Company identity in design and features for separate companies
5. Crucial collective online connections such as:

a) Corporate wikis (as an example, content management systems – for
providing organization’s internal knowledge sharing);
