Web 2.0

TASK:
"Take a look at the Internet Communications Diigo social bookmarking list we have set up for you as a bookmark site - compared to a html version think about the format and usability of a website/html written list with this same information." (Allen, M n.d)
Looking at the two sites, the visual differences are obvious. The Diigo site is well set out, with lots of white space surrounding each bookmark allowing users to clearly read and locate the required infomation. In regards to the useability, the site has lots of "meaningful links", the site is interactive in that the user can arrange the links by tags, join the site and participate by adding your own bookmarks.
In stark contrast is the HTML version, lots of links and text all looking much the same as the next lot of link and text. Useability would be hampered on the html version of the site, there is no participation or anyway to sort the links and the only way to search would be Ctrl+F (Find). On the other hand, this site is quick to load with it lack of graphics.
What applications or "services" do you think are web 2.0 indicative?
