Web 2.0 Services

To most Web 2.0 is synonymous with blogs, social networking sites, wikis or RSS while the most conventional identity of Web 2.0 is as a reference to the second generation of the Web that is user-centered, and facilitates increased information sharing and human collaboration online. Advent of Web 2.0 has effected the development of different web-based technologies, to include social networking websites and applications, advanced video/audio/content-sharing software, hosted services, weblogs, linklogs, folksonomies and mash ups.

Web 2.0 focuses on enabling maximum human collaboration, and as such Web 2.0 websites are more than mere information retrieval platforms. Web 2.0 websites allow users greater control over their data, and readers are elevated to a platform of participation from mere spectatorship. This ‘Architecture of Participation’ allows greater reader involvement with the application as they get to enhance the application while using it, as against Web 1.0 websites where reader access is confined to just content viewing while the authority for content modification vests with the portal owner.

A mash-up, in Web Development terminology, is a Web application that uses the data or functionality provided by multiple sources and creates an integrated application that performs a new function not provided by any of the parent sources.  Digg, the community-based news website, is a mashup created by aggregating news content from various other websites. Similarly, usage of cartographic data provided by Google Maps to travel data or real estate data, would amount to a mash-up.

Consumer mashups, data mashups and business mashups are some familiar types of mashups. Consumer mashups are generated for the general public; a classic example is the Google Maps, which integrates data from web-based sources with its interactive cartographic maps. Data mashups combine data from multiple sources and integrate them into a single new data source. Business mashups or Enterprise mashups, on the other hand, combine data obtained from both internal and external sources.

We focus on user-centric design and build mashup-ready applications that enable delivery of fit-for-purpose solutions quickly.

RIAs are Web applications built to deliver rich, interactive and engaging user experience. Compared to conventional Internet applications, RIAs deliver enhanced interface interaction through a broad range of controls that allow for improved error management and effective user interactions.

Technical experts at U S Software Limited possess in-depth knowledge of the development and working of Rich Internet Applications. We offer exceptional RIA solutions that deliver on client expectations.
