the architecture of participation

Web 2.0 has many definitions, however in the context of the mesh we believe it represents a collaborative medium where users are empowered to contribute content and drive innovation thereby adding increased value through their continued usage. Originally the Web functioned in an "editorial" model permitting content producers to publish material for consumption by the masses, however the consumers were not able to modify or append the content. Web 2.0 promotes the notion of user-generated content and media, allowing the consumers to drive a "collective intelligence" model through content and media creation. Further, as users create ever-increasing quantities of data additional technologies enabling syndication promote efficient sourcing of information.
